This apartment is a spacious 2-bed, 4-bath triplex in Bed Stuy (10 min walk to Kingston-Throop C) with over 2,000 sq ft of indoor space and 1,000 sq ft of private outdoor space in a friendly 3-unit brownstone.
I’m looking for a housemate to sublet a bedroom+ starting July 1 or sooner. First month’s rent, security deposit, and sublet agreement is required. Sublet length is flexible with opportunity to extend. 6-months preferred to start.
Your Sublet Includes:
- Bedroom that fits full or queen bed with a large closet. (Currently partially furnished with queen-size pull-out & writer’s desk)
- Full bathroom with tub (you’ll have primary use)
- Dedicated office with direct access to the backyard
- Shared communal light-filled living on the main floor, which includes a sitting room, Chef’s kitchen, dining area and deck that opens to the private backyard
- Primary use of the finished basement for studio, gym, storage, or second work/hang space
The apt has two front entrances, a full-size w/d, new dishwasher, central AC/heat, wide-plank hardwood floors, 1,000+ sq ft of private outdoor space (deck + backyard), and a great stoop for morning coffee.
The deck and backyard offer tons of potential for gardening or outdoor hangs, currently, just the deck is set up. There's also a front area outside your bedroom window that could easily be transformed with a garden bed or pots.
Utilities (power and wifi) are split 50/50 and average $170/month.
The neighborhood is warm and community-minded. I’ve lived here for two years and have gotten to know many of my neighbors. Within a few blocks you’ll find:
- Trad Room, Frog, and Warude for food and drinks.
- Several bodegas and Met Fresh for groceries.
- Arise Yoga on Tompkins is a great community-focused studio.
Hi, I’m Janeen.
I’m 44 (she/her) and have lived in BK for 13 years. I shared this apt with my now-ex for the last two years and am resetting after our split.
I’m a creative director and creativity coach. I love to play tunes, hula hoop, practice yoga, and hit a dance floor. I am committed to personal growth and community building. This home is pet-friendly, substance-friendly, inclusive, cozy, quiet, and creative. I like to host small gatherings occasionally and 2-3 dance parties a year.
About You
You’re a working professional, 35ish-50ish, grounded, kind, and emotionally intelligent. You are down to help me maintain a calm, clean, and respectful home environment. You’re someone who communicates clearly, is open-minded, progressive in your views, and values being a solid housemate.
Bonus if you enjoy electronic music and creative community spaces.
I am the current tenant.
This is a sublet so the process is simple and will be handled directly through me. To move forward, I’ll ask for:
A short intro about you and your current living situation
Proof of income (or financial stability / savings)
One reference (can be a former landlord, roommate, or someone who knows how you show up in shared spaces)
To secure the space:
- First month’s rent: $3650
- One-month security deposit: $3650
- Signed sublet agreement
If you're interested in a different arrangement, i.e., a shorter or longer length of sublet that is no less than 3-months, or signing onto the lease with me for a year, I'm open to those conversations if we are a fit.
I currently live here with my chonky cat, Tuna. (My senior Schnoodle, Nana, just passed away two weeks ago.) Tuna is friendly, curious, and has lived with other animals before, but she definitely likes being the #1 cat in the house.
A small to medium-sized dog who’s cat-friendly and chill would be welcome.
Let me know a bit about your pet in your message so we can see if it feels like a good fit for everyone, including Tuna.
