The Home & The Vision When Sherry and I bought 29 Hopedale earlier this year, our goal was to bring the best parts of our time as Resident Tutors at Leverett House into a more personal space. We wanted to... create a home where curious, thoughtful people can live together and build community naturally, and a place that feels welcoming and social without ever requiring forced participation.
We are currently transforming the house to reflect that vision, building a home library and turning the large garden into a beautiful shared space for reading, relaxing, and spending time with friends.
Who You'll Live With You’ll be sharing the house with a mix of young professionals and researchers:
- Sherry & Robert: Attorney (BU Law ’25) & data scientist (Harvard PhD ’23). - Maria: A visiting researcher from Italy (PoliMi M.Sc. '27) working in robotics at Harvard. - Anitej: A software engineer (Harvard M.Sc. ’25) and teaching fellow at Harvard.
Who We’re Looking For Grad students, postdocs, researchers, and other curious, community-minded people between ~25-35 will feel right at home here. Kindness, thoughtfulness, respect, cleanliness, and open communication matter much more to us than having identical schedules or lifestyles.
The goal isn’t a forced communal household, but a warm home where people look out for one another, are curious about each other's research and work, leading to natural conversations over tea in the library or a drink at the kitchen table with the occasional dinner party or barbecue in the garden.
