Furnished private living room and bedroom in charming, quirky (see floorplan) 2BR share at Bergen St. and Flatbush Ave., available now until May 31.

The apartment is very sunny, with elegant high ceilings and hardwood floors throughout, and you have your own private entrance. Great share layout. (Lots of privacy if you want it—we could each be home and the other might not know it.) I’m looking for a mature, simpatico housemate who appreciates the architectural details and will treat the apt like a shared home. And I love animals--your pet/s is/are welcome.

Your living room has a big desk and good desk chair, two leather armchairs, coffee table, small chest, rug, a few plants and several bookshelves with lots of books. There's room to add some of your own things, too.

Your bedroom has an exposed brick wall, comfy queen bed with linens/blankets and towels if you need, large dresser and shelf tower. (Some décor--bedspread, wall hanging--has changed from the photo.) You also have a built-in closet across from the bathroom.

Shared dining room/office has big table if you want to have friends to dinner. Shared bathroom has built-in cabinet, skylight, good water pressure, full-size tub. The kitchen has an eat-in counter, dishwasher, Nespresso, microwave, gas stove: well equipped for cooking (of which I do very little, so have at it!).

Two flights up, only one other apt in the building, lovely neighbors downstairs (their cats will come visit if you like).

Amazingly convenient location next to Bergen St 2,3, one stop away from Atlantic Ave. and all its trains (15-20 mins to downtown Manhattan). Short walks to Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum of Art, BAM, Apple Store, Barclays Center, Park Slope Food Coop, farmer’s market, Union Market, library, 24-hr drugstore, several gyms, Atlantic Center (Target, Best Buy, supermarket, LIRR, etc.). Laundromat/ drop-off one block away, police precinct half a block away.

Lively area, on Flatbush Ave, surrounded by all manner of other shops and restaurants in Park Slope and Prospect Heights.

About This Lister

I’m a mature, queer, friendly, female editor. Prefer 40+. I've lived with many different housemates for decades--since college--so I'm flexible and considerate. I love music, art, architecture, languages, literature (you’re welcome to my books). I've done a lot of nonprofit work in the past, mostly for small arts or education orgs, and give a lot of time to a retreat center I'm on the board of. I work from home, sometimes in shared dining room/office, sometimes in my own space, with odd, variable hours. I'm a morning person, usually in bed by 10 or 11. I’m often at the gym in the late morning, otherwise in and out. I travel frequently, about one week per month. I’m pretty clean, esp. in the kitchen & bathroom, would like the same, and like to keep things organized.
