Description

One large bedroom available in a beautiful and roomy duplex on quiet street in trendy Greenpoint.



The Space...



…is an amazing duplex. It’s one of those apartments that you know must exist somewhere in Brooklyn, but rarely see. It’s a 1000+ square foot duplex loft taking up the 6th floor of a 2012 building and overlooking all of Manhattan, facing West. The apartment is above a quiet street in the heart of Greenpoint. The ceilings in the living room are insanely high, the floors are beautiful plank wood, the exterior walls are floor to ceiling glass windows and the light is glorious from 3pm to sunset.



The kitchen is an open style and looks out onto the view and living room with a bar and stools that are perfect for sharing a drink and conversation while preparing food, a beautiful shared living area with a big wall for projecting movies and such, a washer and dryer just outside the door shared by 3 other units, and two full bathrooms (1 for each roommate). Wireless Internet is set up and very fast.



You would be sleeping in the lower level bedroom (13’ 8 'x 13’), which is bigger and has a bigger closet than the upper level one.



The Neighborhood



I really can't think of a more fantastic place to live. Greenpont is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Eckford Street is steps away from the historic district with its cobble stone streets. Greenpoint is trendy and has every amenity you could desire but still had a community feel with a developed sense of a sweet old school neighborhood. Greenpointers are generally proud to say they're from there, I have lived in Greenpoint for over 4 years and am glad to call it home. Once you move in I can share many local recommendations for you to check out.



Getting Around



The G train is 2 blocks away and connects you to Manhattan via the E (Court Square) or the L (Lorimer Street) in 15 min. The Bedford stop on the L is a 12 minute walk from here. The G is extremely reliable and you can expect a train every few minutes at rush hour. The East River Ferry is also convenient for some commuters.



You



You are a friendly & tidy housemate who is not just looking for a room, but looking for a home. Preferably easygoing and sociable with regular hours, who welcomes the idea of meeting new people and having a roommate who enjoys making the most of our neighborhood as much as partaking in good wine, good food and a night in. Not looking for a roommate who brings the party home.



Me



I am active, into getting out of town for hiking, snowboarding and beach going, tidy, quiet, rarely bring friends over, an early riser, enjoy exploring Greenpoint, would like to cook more, love music, art and the Sunday paper with espresso or a cup of tea.
