Oversized 2 bdr for rent in spacious, sunny classic crown heights apartment. Parquet floors, high ceilings, original details, nice (pink!) bath tub, tons of windows. The apartment is in a prewar building on the 5th floor with an old-school wood-paneled elevator (there are still about 5-10 steps to get up the stoop). The building has a great and easily accessible roof, just one flight up with amazing views of the city skyline. Only 3 blocks from the Nostrand Ave A/C and 1 block from the LIRR which will take you straight to JFK faster than a car.
The bedrooms themselves are huge, each with a closet and a window. They both comfortably fit a queen bed plus dresser and bookshelf, desk, etc. The apartment is partially furnished. Both bedrooms will have a bed/mattress and a dresser and/or armoire, plus some other furniture. The living room will need furniture.
Our lease expires at the end of August so you could apply for a year lease with the landlord if interested. If you take over the lease, there is also a third (slightly smaller) bedroom included making it a spacious 3bdr or 2bdr+office/studio for a truly insane price. For the duration of the summer sublet we will be using that smaller room as locked storage. Rent includes utilities and wifi. Priority given to those who are interested in the full duration of the sublet (June 1–August 31).
Native brooklynite, been living in this apartment for 2 years with a roommate. I work in art publishing. We are leaving because I am moving into my own place and she is moving in with her boyfriend.
I will ask to see proof of income and/or proof of recent rent payments. First month's rent and security deposit equal to one month of rent is required upfront.
