Short (4-6 mos) or longer term (1 yr)-possible some flexibility on start date.
Want to get away from noisy congested city streets when you come home? Be among the tree and nature and fresh air? Live with creative folks?
We own a two family house on a residential street off Highland Blvd on Upper Highland Park and live in spacious 3 bedroom upstairs apartment.
 Large furnished room available now with queen bed, desk, large dresser, closet, and small round table—and floor space for yoga, etc. —can adjust furnishings for your needs.

We are also regularly away in our country house, so you will be sharing with just one roommate a lot of the time.

Includes well-equipped kitchen— everything you need to cook, shared bathroom, living room, dining room, sunroom, hardwood floors/high ceilings/French doors…old fashioned, artful, and eclectic from our travels… lots of windows, plants, & light.

We also have a small garden in front & back and gathering/ barbecue area behind the house that backs right up to the park with great trees!

We are right on newly renovated Upper Highland Park/ Ridgewood Reservoir—huge tree filled green space, newly re-paved walking/biking/ skating/running paths, new frisbee golf course, etc! Just beyond Bushwick off Jackie Robinson on Bulwer Place. 10-15 min walk to A,C, L, J, Z, M trains Broadway Junction, Liberty Ave C , Van Siclen J, Z Bushwick/ Aberdeen L and LIRR—street parking/bike storage.

Looking for respectful, creative individual (no couples or pets at this time) of any age who would enjoy the space, living in a real house, the surrounding park/nature, and won’t bring the party home.

Possible additional 300 sq ft 1st floor art studio with built in work surfaces/ storage cabinets for rent later this fall. Ask if interested.

About This Lister

We are in our late 60’s (young at heart) and have worked therapeutically using creative arts, music, yoga, nature, and spirituality in healthcare and community settings—newly retired.

We also have terrific new Listings roommate in her late 20’s in our small front room who is a teacher, poet, and will be your only roommate when we are away every other week.

Our son and his fiancé  (in mid 30’s) live and work in the downstairs apartment and are artists/designers.

We’ve rented to quite a few artists/creatives/students/teachers over the years, and enjoy sharing our home and supporting those transitioning to NYC or looking for a change from city streets. We are friendly and engaging, but also offer quiet, privacy and your own space, and we are away a lot.

We also do have a large fluffy cat named Magic—he comes with us most weeks when we go away.

Interested? Feel like this could be a good match for you?
Let me know and we can talk further.
