I work as a scenic artist/sculptor for film and TV, and I have a background in design. I’m an active motorcyclist and part of the vibrant NYC motorcycle and LGBTQ communities. I own the property and live in the front house. I renovated the apartment myself and I'm looking for a tenant who is responsible, values peace and quiet, and who would be happy to live in a moto-positive environment. Rental of part of my motorcycle workshop on the ground floor may be available. I'm happy to show you the property!
