A room is available in a spacious triplex on a quiet residential street in Bushwick. This shared space has the quality of feeling as if you live alone. That's due to a unique aspect of the unit: Each tenant has their own individual common spaces, including separate kitchens and bathrooms. The basement is where your future roommate (a kind, funny, and respectful freelance videographer) has his common space, which doubles as his home office (he has his own kitchen and half-bath in that space). The ground floor would be your common space, complete with its own kitchen and half-bath. In addition, you have direct access to the spacious backyard. On the second floor, the bedrooms are located down the hall from each other. The bedroom you would occupy is large, has lots of closet space, and gets good natural light. Additionally, there is another room (the size of an actual bedroom, not a tiny closet) next to your bedroom that you can use as you see fit (as an office, for storage, etc.) Each person has their own full bathrooms (the roommate's bath is ensuite; yours is across from the second room). Finally, there is a washer and dryer in-unit! Above is a separate apartment on the top floor. Both roommates have separate entrances to access the street and the backyard via the basement and ground floor levels, and the upstairs neighbors have a separate entrance to access their unit (they do not have access to the backyard). The nearest subway stations are the Halsey and Wilson L stops (it's an equal distance to both) as well as the Halsey J. There are also multiple bus routes nearby as well as a Citi Bike dock around the corner.
Personal Reasons
Couples are welcome. The ground floor is partially furnished. The furnishings belong to my roommate and he is willing to clear some items for the new tenant(s). The available room will be unfurnished. As for pets, the landlord is open to cats, but you’d need to discuss with him. My roommate would also prefer folks who work partially outside the unit (a hybrid schedule, etc.), but it's not a dealbreaker. This would be a lease assignment/takeover, so you'd sign a new lease with the landlord.
