We're looking for someone to take over the lease for our sunny top-floor 2 bed, 2 bath duplex apartment with a private rooftop patio in a classic brownstone across from Central Park.

My husband and I have lived in this unit for over 4 years, and have loved our time here. We're moving boroughs, and so our lease is available for takeover starting mid-Jan, with a monthly rent of $6,450.

About the apartment: The apartment is a duplex on the top floor of a walkup. The first level has one bedroom, one bathroom, and the living room, while the second level holds the second bedroom, bathroom, and the private deck. It is 905 sq ft in size, gets lots of natural light throughout the day (south-facing), and has tall ceilings that make the space feel open and airy. There's an in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, and wall-mounted split AC systems.

About the neighborhood: This is a fantastic part of the UWS with great proximity to the most popular parts of the park, and good bars and restaurants. The 72nd St train station (B,C lines) is right across the street (less than 30 feet away), Trader Joe's is two avenues east, and the Sunday farmer's market and flea market at the Museum of Natural History are a short walk away, as is Lincoln Center. You're also surrounded by great restaurants and shops—Sala Thai, Magnolia Bakery, 67 Wine & 67 Gourmet (wine & cheese shops), and Pop Up Bagels to name a few.

About This Lister

My husband and I (Julia) are the leaseholders through March 31, and will be showing the space with the permission of our landlord. They would prefer to sign a new, long term lease (through April 31, 2027) with whoever takes over this apartment, but are also open to short term subletters through March 31, 2026.
