Subject: [Richdale Ave] cambridge cohousing 3-bedroom apt. for sale

Dear friends & colleagues:

Please spread the word about one of our neighbors’ apartment that is for sale at Cambridge Cohousing. It’s a 3-bedroom unit, with an asking price of $545,000.

DETAILS OF LISTING FOR THE UNIT (see also attached information sheet)

Address: 175 Richdale Ave. unit 309, Cambridge MA 02140

Property information: 3 bedrooms; open-plan living/dining area & kitchen, bathroom, balcony.  Total area is  1103 sq. ft. Deeded garage parking space.  Real estate taxes $2433year.  Condo fees and all utilities $594/month  

            Under Cambridge Cohousing’s bylaws, our condo association has the right of first refusal for 30 days, which started on about 3/4/10.  It’s in our members’ interest to help the owner sell her unit to someone interested in cohousing.

            Here are some additional comments about Cambridge CoHousing (CCH for short)—we’ve lived here for nearly 5 years.  CCH is in North Cambridge, located on a quiet street.  We are 10 minutes’ walk from Porter Sq., where there’s both the subway and commuter rail. We’re also 15 minutes’ walk from Davis Sq.  By car, in 10 minutes you can be on route 2-West, and in 20 minutes on route 128.  The neighborhood is economically and ethnically diverse.

            About 80 people live in CCH, in 41 units.  Residents’ ages range from 2 to about 85, and there are about 15 children aged under 18.  There are many shared spaces, such as a kitchen, dining and living rooms, library, children’s play rooms, exercise room, recreation room and laundry.  There are shared lawns and gardens.  There are many community events, such as optional shared meals 2-3 times a week

            More details of CCH can be found at www.cambridgecohousing.org

POSSIBLE BUYERS AND OTHERS CAN GET MORE INFORMATION FROM THE OWNERS:  Charlene Galarneau and Don Tucker, 617-576-1489  e-mail dtucker@mfcglobalus.com

Thanks for spreading the word--and best wishes,
