I am the leaseholder & open to both a summer sublet arrangement or a longterm sublet (which would extend when my lease renews Oct 1). Ideally would love to find someone who is a good fit and wants to stay through the next year as well: June 1, 2026 - October 1, 2027. 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) B44 (through central BK to Williamsburg) and B65 (straight into Downtown BK) right down the block. About a 20 minute walk from both Prospect Park & Herbert Von King Park, >10 from both Franklin & Tomkins. Right at the intersection of a bunch of great neighborhoods. Deli and laundromat just down the block and a couple different grocery close by. Tons of great restaurants, bars (and gyms!) 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 around $50-$100, depending on the season (AC in the summer racks it up). We pay for gas, electric, and internet.
A few of the photos were taken on a rainy morning so I've added a couple other oldies to show the incredible light the living space/your room gets in the afternoon. They don't all do it justice! I can send more photos to interested parties and will also be showing the space in-person. Things have shifted a bit but the shape/general layout/vibe of the main space has sustained :)
I'm trying to curate some new pieces/art/objects to fill the space back up and do a little re-nesting. May cycle a few things out and would be 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 vertical storage to the living and kitchen 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! :)
I’m Abby, she / her, 31
I have my homebody phases but am out of the house a decent amount, especially during warmer months. When I am home I am working, reading, writing, listening to music, watching movies, collaging, cooking, drinking too much coffee. I generally am not one to bring the party home but I do have friends over for wine / dinner occasionally. 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.
Looking for someone who *does not* work from home full-time.
