This lovely garden apartment was recently gut-renovated — everything is new. It's the garden level of our townhouse and we occupy the apartment above if anything comes up. Ground floor, one step to get in, private keyless entrance that's completely separate from ours.
The layout is open and easy to live in. The kitchen is properly set up if you cook — stone countertops, brand new appliances, dishwasher. There's a dining table by the window that gets nice morning light. The living room has a couch that converts to a bed if you have guests. Both bedrooms are generously sized with big closets. Off the main bedroom there's a home office nook — standing desk, monitor, 1 gigabit WiFi — which works really well for remote work. In-unit washer/dryer, AC in every room. Oh, and there's a private garden patio out back.
We're looking for someone who'll take care of the space — quiet, clean, reliable. Professionals, remote workers, and small families are all welcome. Non-allergenic pets allowed.
The neighborhood is walkable and genuinely lovely — tree-lined blocks, brownstones, good coffee and food close by (Olmo, Badaboom, September Coffee, Tiny Cupboard, All Night Skate). The J/Z trains are a 5-minute walk, and the A/C is about 10 minutes, so getting anywhere in the city is straightforward.
Rent: $3,800/month
Available: April 27-September 30
Lease: 30 day minimum stay
Utilities: Included
We're Mary and Shanak — a Australian and Bangladeshi-Canadian couple who've been in Brooklyn for about a decade. We both work in tech (design side of things), and when we're not working you'll find us at a museum, trying a new restaurant, or hosting a dinner party or backyard barbecue. We moved into the townhouse upstairs earlier this year and are renting out the garden apartment below for the first time.
We're pretty low-key as landlords — we're around if something comes up, but we're not the type to hover. We just want someone who'll enjoy the space as much as we do.
We'd love to hop on a quick call before moving forward with an inspection — just to get a sense of each other. From there we'll ask for proof of income and references. Happy to answer any questions about the space in the meantime.
Non-allergenic pets welcome.
