<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently looking for a new housemate starting April 1 with a year round lease. This is a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom house with WHOI JP students/Post docs/Engineers. The house is located on Sippewissett Rd and is close to the beach (1
mile), bike path (~500 ft away, located at mile 5), Falmouth (5 min drive) and Woods Hole (10 min drive). The rental is for 1 bedroom in a house share. This bedroom is quite large and has space to make it your own personal living space with a sofa/table/desk,
etc. The common spaces include a bathroom, living room, kitchen, dining room. There is an in-house washer/dryer, basement, parking space, and yard with a garden, BBQ, and firepit. Newly finished hardwood floors, modern furniture, and updated kitchen. There
