I’m offering a bright, fully furnished room in a beautiful pre-war apartment on Fifth Avenue, directly across from Central Park in Carnegie Hill. The space is ideal for someone who appreciates calm, order, and a welcoming home base — especially a Columbia graduate student, visiting scholar, or a working professional seeking a focused, grounding environment.

About the home
The building is a classic pre-war with a 24-hour doorman, elevators, laundry, package room, and an in-building gym (membership optional). The apartment is warm, well cared for, and fully equipped, with a comfortable shared kitchen and weekly professional cleaning of common spaces.

About the room
The room is thoughtfully furnished with a bed, wardrobe, and optional desk. High-quality linens and towels can be provided if helpful. The bathroom is shared with one other adult, and the rhythm of the home is peaceful and easy.

The environment
This is a quiet, respectful household — a place to rest, study, recharge, and live comfortably. It’s best suited for someone who enjoys a low-key home life. Light use of the shared spaces is welcome, and the home stays calm and uncluttered.

The neighborhood
Steps from Central Park’s Conservatory Garden, close to Columbia, Mount Sinai, and the 96th Street subway. Carnegie Hill is tree-lined, residential, with cafes, museums, and markets nearby.

About us
We’re a professional couple who value kindness, cleanliness, and a peaceful space. We’re LGBT+ friendly and enjoy sharing our home with someone who appreciates a considerate environment.

If the home resonates with you, please reach out with a short introduction and your intended dates. I’m happy to share a video tour or arrange a viewing.

About This Lister

We are a professional couple who recently returned to New York after nearly two decades living in Europe. Our backgrounds are in entrepreneurship and finance, and we both work full-time in roles that require focus, long hours, and a calm home base. We’re academically inclined — we’ve collected a fair number of degrees between us — and we try to keep life anchored in curiosity and good conversation.

Our home reflects the years we spent abroad: art collected from different places, books we’ve carried with us through several countries, and small pieces that hold personal history. We enjoy cooking, good wine, museums, long walks, and the feeling of a space that is both beautiful and lived-in.

Day to day, we keep a peaceful rhythm. We’re tidy, considerate, and low-key at home, and we appreciate living with someone who values a quiet, respectful environment. We’re LGBTQ+ friendly, and we enjoy sharing our space with someone who is thoughtful, mature, and focused on their own work, studies, or creative pursuits.
