Large Bedroom with Fire Escape for Female Apt.

Hi there,

Private room available now in Greenpoint for one woman seeking a peaceful, long-term home.

This is a very quiet, clean, low-traffic household, not a social apartment. It’s best suited for someone whose lifestyle already naturally aligns with that.

The Household

I’m a 48-year-old professional woman who works full-time (mostly from home). I’m calm, respectful, clean, and value privacy, consistency, and a peaceful home environment.

I’m looking for a roommate who is naturally similar, not someone trying to “make it work,” but someone who already lives this way.

This home is best for someone who:
-Works outside the home full-time Monday–Friday
-Is naturally quiet, independent, and respectful of shared space
-Does not work remotely from home during the week
-Does not host guests, overnight visitors, dates, or social gatherings
-Cleans shared spaces immediately after use
-Does not cook heavily or use the kitchen daily
-Wants home to feel calm, private, and restorative
-Important household boundaries

These are standing household expectations, not occasional preferences:

-No guests or overnight visitors
-No work-from-home schedules
-No smoking or pets
-No couples
-No late-night social activity

I also have food allergies, so this needs to be an onion-free and seafood-free home.

The Room
-Private unfurnished bedroom (14.5 x 11 ft)
-Largest bedroom in the apartment
-Wood floors, ceiling fan/light
-No closet (clothing racks available)
-Shared bathroom and kitchen
-No living room
-Quiet 2nd-floor walk-up

Location
Greenpoint, Brooklyn — safe, quiet, and walkable.
Near McGolrick Park, cafés, laundromat, grocery options, G train, and B48, B43, and B62 buses.

If interested, please reply with:
1. What do you do for work, and where do you work?
2. What days/hours are you usually out of the home?
3. How often do you cook in a typical week?
4. Do you ever host guests, dates, or overnight visitors?
5. What does “clean shared space” mean to you in practice?
6. Why does this type of home appeal to you?

If reading this feels familiar rather than restrictive, we may be a strong fit.
