I will be moving this October and am looking for someone to take my spot in our beautiful Bedford-Stuyvesant brownstone. The lease (which you aren't technically on) isn't up until end of April 2016.
About the apartment
It's huge. Seriously. We have the first and second floors, the basement, mud room and private backyard (with amazing garden!) of a newly renovated, historic brownstone. It's approx 1,600 sq ft. with beautiful details, like slate fireplaces, crown molding and high ceilings.- Rent is $1K per month, plus utilities + cable.
- Transportation: Gates stop off the J/Z train. The Utica stop off the A/C is a bit further, but manageable.
- Close to grocery stores, Blink Fitness, and cafes and restaurants.
- Bonus: washer and dryer in the basement!
- Sorry, no pets or smoking inside.
About the roommates
Firstly, they're awesome and are two of my very dear friends. Annie is 27 (we've been friends since preschool) and Silas is 31. They're a wonderful, engaged couple with whom I've had the pleasure of living for the past 3 years. Annie does marketing for a tech company and Silas is in construction management. We keep pretty quiet during the week since everyone works. On weekends we hang out, host dinner parties/BBQs etc... Their bedroom is on the first floor and mine is up on the second floor, meaning lots of space and privacy for everyone. All rooms except for the bedrooms are shared.Who we're looking for
Someone chill who is respectful, responsible, and employed (or have proof of income). You won't be on the lease, but our landlord (it's his house-- he lives upstairs) will ask to check your credit. You're willing to help clean common spaces and will take care of the apartment. You like to have fun, but don't bring the party home.The Room
