Serene Crown Heights Sanctuary | Available January 1 - $1,200

A thoughtfully maintained, sun-filled medium bedroom in a beautifully renovated floor-through apartment. Perfect for someone seeking a peaceful home base in the city.

THE SPACE

This completely gut-renovated 3BR feels more like a boutique rental than a typical roommate situation. Highlights include:

-Gorgeous hardwood floors and soaring ceilings throughout
-Expansive windows flooding the living area with natural light
-Open kitchen with marble island, stainless appliances, and dishwasher
-Sonos sound system in common areas
-Generous closet and storage space
-Second floor of a quiet two-family rowhouse on a tree-lined block

THE VIBE

This is a calm, adult household where cleanliness and mutual respect are simply how we live—not house rules we have to enforce. I'm Melvin (45), a retail director for Le Labo fragrances. When I'm home, you'll find me reading, watching series with headphones, or decompressing from the day. The third bedroom will be occupied starting January 1st by someone with a similar lifestyle.
We're not looking for best friends or party hosts—just a considerate adult who genuinely values a tranquil home environment. Occasional guests are absolutely fine; a revolving door is not.

2-minute walk to the 3/4 express trains at Utica Ave (15-20 mins to lower Manhattan)

YOU ARE:

30+ and established in your career/life
Naturally tidy in both personal and shared spaces
Someone who craves quiet after navigating the city's chaos
An introvert or ambivert who recharges at home
Comfortable with a low-key household dynamic

About This Lister

About me:

-Melvin (me) 45, director of luxury beauty retail, I'm very chill and more of an introvert and tend to keep to myself reading my kindle, meditating/yoga or watching tv. Pretty much unplugged. I like home to be a peaceful refuge where we can unwind and relax, listen to a podcast or read, and looking for a like minded candidate. I'm very clean, can’t stress that enough, and looking for people who live similarly and to whom being clean and tidy is not really a chore but more a way of life. Ideal candidate would share sense of keeping foot traffic in apt quiet, and values a peaceful quiet home.

I look forward to meeting ☺️
