Beautiful Studio w/ Backyard in Fort Greene available for medium-term sublet - January (flexible dates)
Apartments for Sublet
Fort Greene studio sublet (furnished) — Jan 2/3 to Feb 1* (flexible)
Rent: $2,800/mo + utilities
Pet-friendly (quiet dogs welcome)
I’m subletting my cozy, fully furnished studio in the heart of Fort Greene while I’m away for family stuff. It’s on the ground floor of a small, friendly building in brownstone Brooklyn where neighbors are warm but keep to themselves.
The space is thoughtfully designed with a custom Murphy bed and Murphy desk, allowing the main room to shift easily between a living area, home office, dining space, or bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped for real cooking: stove + oven, dishwasher, microwave, electric kettle, blender, plus all cookware and utensils.
A big plus: the apartment has exclusive access to the building’s large backyard, furnished with couches, a firepit, picnic table, grill, and storage sheds. It’s a great spot for winter fires, outdoor meals, or hanging out with a dog.
The location is ideal—just one block from Fort Greene Park and close to the neighborhood’s main streets. Multiple subway lines are within a 2–8 minute walk, with easy access to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn.
About This Lister
I’m a 44-year-old professional working at NYU. I’ve lived in NYC for 8 years after a decade abroad, and I’ll be spending this time helping my elderly stepmother relocate. I’m hoping to find someone responsible and respectful who will enjoy and take care of this home while I’m away.
Lister's Relationship to the Space
I am the current tenantRental requirements
I'm looking for a subletter to take this for the month of January, with some flexibility on the actual move-in and move-out dates in the first week of January and February. Deposit of $500 and a basic sublease agreement will be required.
* I'm actually going to be away from January through mid-June, but have someone who can take the place for at least February and March, so right now I'm hoping to find someone who can take it for most of January, but I'd consider interest in the entire Jan-Jun period too.
Pets Policy
Quiet dogs are welcome. The unit sits at the back of a hallway rarely used by other tenants, which works well for most pups; dogs that are reactive to foot traffic at building front doors might not be comfortable here.
