Hi. I am looking to sublet my dreamy studio apartment that overlooks the water in north Williamsburg near Domino Park. The south-facing studio is in a high-rise, doorman, elevator building with views of downtown Manhattan and the Williamsburg Bridge.
While it's a studio, it feels spacious in that the door opens onto a long hallway before entering the main room. So there is a desk/kitchen table area, a separate kitchen, separate full bathroom, and a washer/dryer (!) closet off the hallway.
The kitchen is super modern with fresh, clean appliances--a full-size gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, pantry, and giant fridge/freezer.
Winter is my favorite season in this space--it's very warm (I barely turn on the heat) as it's flooded with gorgeous southern light from a floor-to-ceiling window. The sun sets at this time of year right out the window over lower Manhattan. [Note: If you need total darkness/blackout shades to sleep, this might not be for you. There are shades that come with the unit but they are still slightly sheer. I never pull them as I'm the rare person who sleeps soundly in full, bright light.]
I lucked out renting in this particular high rise. No issues and sincerely the kindest staff who make the building what it is. The building was built well--it's shockingly quiet. I've been here for three years and I hear nothing of my neighbors; no footsteps above me; no NYC street noise up on this high floor. And I love the wide-open, movie-esque view with no neighboring buildings, also why I rarely pull the shades.
I'm looking for a single occupant, someone very neat, no pets, no smoking. It would be appreciated so much if you'd water my plants (currently a friend comes by once a week when I'm gone).
I am very flexible in terms of dates and in general how this can go. I am open to doing less than the entire period. I am also open to someone who might want this as a beautiful office or writing space by day, in which case I'd consider going slightly down in price. I will be out on the Oregon Coast this winter and am just hoping to cover a lot of the time gone.
My space is not depersonalized so I imagine this would work better for someone who travels light or is just passing through for a season or for work. There is a chance I'd be open to an extension if I'm enjoying the West Coast and decide to stay a bit longer or come back for only small periods. I would appreciate a FaceTime to meet you and discuss details!
The price is all in and not marked up. My rent is currently just under 4,000 and internet and ConEd come out to just over 4,000.
Under a 10-minute walk to Bedford L.
I am a freelance writer, editor, and proofreader who ended up a bit nomadic in enjoying both city time and outdoor time. New York has been my base on and off for 20 years but I am often on the West Coast exploring my outdoor interests (hiking/climbing), and I spend time in Berlin as well, where I lived during my 30s. I am a woman in my 40s and having a home that's aesthetic and clean and calm is important to me; I trust you feel the same and would care for it like your own. I have used Listings Project many times for sublets and have had only great experiences, gaining a couple of lifelong friends after being their tenant.
I'd appreciate a reference and/or some kind of social media or website context. Facetime. Brief contract drawn up between us. Rent sent upfront.
