Huge Room With A Shared Patio!

Ad ref# 102088215

August 1st move-in to sign 1-year lease:

--- The space: A 4-bedroom apartment with 2 full bathrooms, spacious kitchen, living room, and a huge rooftop! A virtual doorman, in-building laundry, and bike storage as well.

I’ve lived here for 3.5 years and one of my favorite parts is the location!! There's a Chinese restaurant, great bodegas, the best coffee shop (Burly), a grocery store, laundromat, liquor stores, wine shop, and a Brazilian restaurant all within the block! We’re also a few blocks from an AMAZING community park, Herbert Von King. There’s an amphitheater which does DJ’d parties there every Thursday which are so fun to go out and dance to, fields for lounging, picnic tables, tennis and basketball courts, a dog run, and I have a friend who teaches yoga in the park weekly, too! 

Our building is a 10―15-minute walk to the JMZ at Myrtle-Broadway in one direction, or a 10 minute walk to the G train at Bedford-Nostrand in the other. There are also two bus stops in either directions taking you to the L train/Williamsburg with one or Downtown Brooklyn and the 2/3, A/C or Q and B/D trains. There are also bike lanes on both roads with 2 Citi bike stations within 2 blocks.

This location is super central to Brooklyn, a short walk/bike to Bushwick and Williamsburg, and Crown Heights, Ft. Greene, Downtown Brooklyn are all within 15-30 minutes as well depending on your preferred method of transportation.

The apartment is on the second floor of a building, a short walk up. There’s a fully furnished shared living room - we have 2 couches, coffee table, etc.

Kitchen is fully stocked with supplies and countertop appliances, so, you won't need to bring silverware or pots or anything really, but we have space for your things if you do!

Since we have two bathrooms in the house, you only share with one other person which is super nice.

There's access to the rooftop, a huge, tiled space with a view of Manhattan in the distance. It’s a great place to watch the sun rise while sipping tea in the morning, summertime sunbathing, or enjoy the night skyline with a glass of wine (or 2). We've hosted some events up there throughout the years as well and it's great for entertaining.

---  The room:
Dimensions: approx. 11'x12'
Rent: $966.00 a month **a freshly reduced price, we negotiated with management to get $100 off!**
(It’s been $1,000+ for the past few years but were able to talk down due to the COVID market)
Utilities: Split evenly, about $80-120 a month for gas, electric, and internet

The room itself is the largest in the apartment. Right now, it easily fits a Full/Queen, a desk, shoe rack, bookcase, plant cart, and dresser comfortably. It has been configured in the past to fit a king-sized bed with a small couch and entertainment center/TV, too.

It overlooks a shared patio space - main access is through another room, but there are two windows in this room you can go through for your own direct access. The space is great for relaxing, doing yoga, or working from home. We have a picnic table that can be easily brought out for an outdoor dinner or game night. The photo is not how the patio looks not, but how a past roommate had it set up, showing the potential! Can send current pics if interested, which is just more bare-bones.

Required for management is to make 40x the rent, but they really just look at your credit and they’re pretty flexible. Plus, they accept guarantors. There’s a $20 application fee, and once accepted, you’d need 1 month security plus first month to move in!

---  About us:
We are early-twenties students and creatives who work outside of the home. We all keep active lives but also like to spend solo time hanging out in our rooms or together going to the park, or in the living room watching TV, talking, listening to music, and sometimes cooking together and sharing meals! One of us paints and does yoga, one plays the acoustic guitar and reads a lot, and the other an illustrator/graphic designer. We are all either vegan or mostly vegetarian/~flexitarian... but no judgement, do your thing!

Not *huge* party-people but we like to have a good time and go out every once in a while; sometimes together or with our respective groups of friends, and hosting small hangouts here from time to time, too.

We are pretty clean and tidy and looking for someone who wants to contribute to this effort! We don’t do a chore chart, rather just communicate and clean after ourselves, but will also get together to do deeper cleans when it calls for it. (But, open to whatever system you may have experience with, too!)

Generally, we want this home to have an inviting and open culture where we share and respect each other’s boundaries and schedules! Some things we’ve been up to recently is we’ve been collecting our food scraps for compost and also trying to get involved in community events and initiatives. (Organized a community trash clean up in April!)

Some of us are LGBTQ+ and non-binary as well, looking for a femme/woman roommate to create a space that is respectful, homey, and communicative.

No couples, please.

If you're interested, want to know more, or have questions, please reach out to me through this portal or via email! We’d like to arrange a video call to show you the space and get to know you first, and if you’re around, you’re welcome to come check it out in person.
Thanks for reading this, and we look forward to speaking with you!
