📍 First-floor walk-up on a quiet, tree-lined block of brownstones
I’m relocating for a faculty role and looking for someone to take over my bright and functional Harlem studio. It’s compact but efficient — and has been a grounding, peaceful home.
🛏️ Apartment Details:
– First-floor walk-up studio with square layout and excellent natural light
– Electric stovetop, compact refrigerator, and deep soaking tub
– Private basement storage unit with your own washer/dryer combo (not shared)
– Closets are small, but the dedicated storage space makes a big difference for off-season items, gear, or essentials
– Move-in date is flexible — I’m ready to relocate once a new lease is signed
🌿 Neighborhood Highlights:
– Located on a quiet, walkable block lined with brownstones
– 1 mile to Central Park (Harlem Hill entrance) — verified by my Garmin on every run
– Short walk to Marcus Garvey Park and St. Nicholas Park
– Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and a variety of local grocers nearby
– Convenient to A/B/C/D and 2/3 trains (5–7 minute walk), and about 15 minutes to 4/5/6 and 1 trains
– The Bronx is also just a 15-minute walk
– Steps from the Apollo Theater and near the soon-to-reopen Studio Museum in Harlem
– Great food on almost every avenue and street — from long-standing neighborhood gems to new favorites
🏠 The building has 8 studio units — everyone mostly keeps to themselves, but I’ve taken the time to learn everyone's name, and the community has been respectful and kind.
🛋️ If you’d like any furniture or essentials to stay, I’m happy to negotiate.
💸 I’m motivated to rent as soon as possible to avoid double rent — let’s make this a smooth and friendly transition.
