Ad reference no. 102075274

Multi-generational art household seeks a 3rd roommate in our 1800s LIC rowhouse. We are looking for an easy going, kind, creative and considerate roommate to share our home.

Our much loved roommate is traveling out of the country and we will have the room available October 1 in our historic rowhouse off of Vernon Ave in the heart of Long Island City. We are a ceramics professor and art appraiser.

The room has two north-facing windows and a walk in closet. It's on the 2nd floor and you would share the 2nd floor bath with one person. The room is unfurnished. The house has its original tin ceilings, a big kitchen, washer & dryer, and a deep back yard. We like to keep our home clean and comfortable.
We are located about three blocks from MoMA PS1, and the 7, G, and E subway lines. The Hunters Point South and Long Island City NYC ferry stops are also within walking distance as well as 3+supermarkets including Trader Joes.

LIC also has something that few metropolitan spaces have: fresh air, quiet, green grass, trees, and a friendly neighborhood vibe. Gantry State Park and Hunters Point Park which are a five-minute walk away, offers gorgeous waterfront piers, open space and plenty of beautifully landscaped areas.
