Available June 1 (potentially flex, no more than a week or so earlier or later)

$1500/month

I am the leaseholder & would be open to subletting June 1 - Oct 1 when my lease renews. Ideally would love to find someone who wants to stay/sign on through the next year as well: June 1, 2025 - October 1, 2026. Open to a few different arrangements for the right person.

I’ve lived in (and loved) this apartment for 5+ years. It’s a great space that affords a lot more privacy than many shared apartments I’ve seen / lived in. The apartment makes up the whole second floor of a well-kept brownstone on Bergen between Kingston and Brooklyn avenues in Crown Heights. Right by the Brooklyn Children’s Museum and Brower Park. Practically like having a park in the backyard. Short walk from both the Kingston-Throop and Nostrand A / C and also close to the 2 / 3 trains on Eastern Parkway. B43 (takes you straight into Williamsburg/Greenpoint) and B65 (straight into Downtown BK) right down the block. About a 25 minute walk from Prospect Park, >10 from Franklin Ave, and right at the intersection of a bunch of great neighborhoods. Two delis and two laundromats just down the block and a couple different grocery stores two blocks over on Nostrand. Tons of great restaurants, bars etc close by.

The room itself is south facing and gets a ton of great light all day, faces the back yard/garden, and is on the opposite end of the apartment to mine. It can fit a queen bed, small desk, and a dresser. Also has a decent sized closet. Good amount of space to play with.

Utilities usually come to about $75-$100 a piece, depending on the season. We pay for gas, electric, and internet. (I am looking to switch internet providers which will decrease utility expenses significantly...)

The first bunch of photos are current. They were taken on a rainy morning this week so I've added a couple oldies to show the incredible light the living space (and your room) gets. I have also added some old images of the room for rent when it was not empty to show how other housemates have arranged/taken advantage of the space.

The space is sparse-ish right now and I'm trying to curate some new pieces/art/objects to fill it back up and do a little re-nesting. May cycle a few things out and am open to a new housemate bringing in pieces of their own so we can make it feel like home for both of us. The couch needs some love or a replacement soon and I'd like to add more art to the living space.

Since I am not a very *online* person myself I don't require that you share your socials but feel free to send them along if you'd like.

Email me a bit about yourself, what you're looking for, and when you'd be ready to move in! :)

About This Lister

I’m Abby, she / her, 30

I manage a salon in downtown Brooklyn and have a side hustle selling vintage clothing. Occasionally work from home. Ideally looking for someone who *does not* work from home full-time. Open to discussing with the right person.

I spend a decent amount of time out of the house, especially in the warmer months, but when I am home I am reading, writing, listening to music (I do have a record player and burgeoning vinyl collection, currently on the hunt for new speakers for the setup) watching movies, cooking, drinking too much coffee. I generally am not one to bring the party home but I do have friends over for wine / dinner sometimes. Not super rigid about cleaning schedules but it is very important to me that common spaces (bathroom / kitchen / living room) are kept up and respected by both housemates.

I do love to have a relationship with my housemate but don't have expectations aside from mutual respect for space / privacy / communication. We'll find our rhythm.
