Available Nov. 1 for at least six months with possibility to renew. Ideally we are looking for a longterm subletter.
I’m subletting my sunny, large, quiet, furnished bedroom with library nook + exposed brick in a spacious 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath, two-story (duplex) apartment with 11-foot ceilings. The bedroom is furnished (more details below under "The Available Room"). Kitchen and shared living area are also fully furnished.
Each bedroom in the apartment has privacy and no shared walls, as the bedrooms are distanced from one another (opposite ends and/or separate floors of the apartment).
There is access through the bedroom window to a private outdoorspace. In-building coin laundry in the basement. The landlord/management company is very responsive and the building is generally quiet.
Please note that we keep the apartment *VERY, VERY* clean and are looking for someone who has equally high standards of cleanliness. Do not respond if you are not compatible with this. :)
*THE LOCATION*
The apartment is near the intersection of Bushwick and Hart, two blocks from the Central Ave M, a seven-minute walk to the Myrtle-Broadway JMZ, and about 15 minutes from the Morgan or Dekalb L. Lots of friendly restuarants/bars, a growing food community in the area, and a couple great used bookstores.
*THE APARTMENT*
We’re in a spacious, 3-bed duplex on the first floor + the basement. We have a uniquely large amount of space. Importantly, our rooms aren’t on top of each other—no shared bedroom walls! This gives us each private space.
On the main floor is a sizable shared living/dining area, a well-stocked kitchen, two bedrooms at opposite ends of the apartment, and a full bath. Third bedroom is in the basement with a half bath. Lots of exposed brick throughout. The first floor is mainly left to you and the one roommate who also has a bedroom on the main floor, at the front.
The landlord/management company is responsive and we have friendly neighbors, all of whom have been in the building for years or decades. There is coin laundry in the basement (only 5 other units in the building) and the apartment is well-heated in winter.
*THE AVAILABLE BEDROOM*
The available bedroom is on the first floor at the back of the building (very quiet). It has two big windows, wood floors, an exposed brick wall, a full-sized bed, several baskets under the bed for storage, a library nook (lots of books included, plus room for your own), a standing desk (with stool), monitor, armchair + ottoman, a new window AC. There’s still space to do yoga etc. You also have a large closet just outside the bedroom door.
There is a small, basic but private backyard area with a table and chairs, exclusively for use by the tenant of the available bedroom--but please note that access is through the bedroom window.
*ACCESSIBILITY*
While we are on the first floor, there is a stoop with several steps to enter the building, and the laundry is in the basement down a flight of stairs.
Note: no pets/animals. Looking for 1 roommate only. sorry!
I’ve lived happily in this apartment since 2016.
The downstairs roommate has been in the apartment since 2015. He is 38 years old and works in creative technology/experiential design, is a classically-trained cook, and puts on interactive culinary events (not in the apartment). He works partly from home, partly outside the home.
The second roommate has been in the apartment for about a year. She is in her mid 30s and is a writer and filmmaker.
Rent is $1335 per month, plus utilities (electricity, internet) which come to around $50-100 a month, depending on the season. Electricity is higher in the summer bc of ACs. Heat and hot water are included in rent.
*THE LOGISTICS*
If interested, please email details about yourself—age, income, interests, and the type of household you’re hoping for. Inquiries without this information will not be responded to.
We will then set up a time for you to check out the space and meet the roommates (either virtually or in-person). If we all decide it’s a good fit, the landlord will do a credit check and background check.
The subletter and I will sign a basic contract outlining terms, while I remain the leaseholder. Rent will be paid to me (Venmo preferred) and a $1335 refundable deposit to me is required.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any more information!
