Huge Basement Apt w/ Sink/Fridge

Basement Furnishings

Hi there!

We have a huge (270 square foot) basement that I only ever use to unobtrusively store boxes of my book translations along the wall. It's PERFECT as a live-in art studio, as previous tenants have done, since there's a giant kitchen-industrial table and plenty of pantry storage about the sink as well--ideal also for students wanting a separate entrance through the storm door.

There's a very nice queen mattress and frame, plus a cute meal nook table and chair with standing lamp area. Mini-fridge next to large sink, tons of power outlets if you want a hot plate, electric kettle, etc.

My husband Nicholas and I are a very mellow couple in our forties who love art, cooking, music, film, walks, museums, animals ***(there's a cat!)***, and I'm personally very good with plants. He's a working actor (the very chill when at home kind), and I have been a novelist since 2008. We adore books and have a Little Free Library out front.

Our upstairs renter is a musical theatre enthusiast and natural healer, who is excitedly exploring his new home of New York while looking for the man of his dreams, so he's very unobtrusive. My husband and I are also queer spectrum (demi and pan, respectively).

The whole house including extensive library (I'm getting sent books all the time) is at your disposal; kitchen (use all the gadgets!) is on the ground floor with the living area, and bathroom is on second floor with the office.

Ridgewood is a brilliant neighborhood! We're a five minute walk from the Halsey L stop, surrounded by groceries and restaurants and food trucks, and two blocks away (separate directions) from the two main commercial drags. All of our neighbors are lovely--I've lived here for 15 years and find it the perfect spot, and if you want to shoot over to Union Square it takes about half an hour.

We need a clean, respectful roommate who understands that we use this as a live/work space and gets along with the cat. Looking forward to meeting you!
