We are a small group of friends and artists sharing a historic Victorian townhouse with abundant common space such as a large art studio, yoga room, large eat-in kitchen, 200 sq ft terrace, dining room that seats 12, backyard patio, garden, massage room, lounge and chill spaces.
We currently have 2 bedrooms available, a large bedroom for a couple to share, and a small bedroom for an individual.
Aside from whatever impromptu socializing that might occur among housemates, we also try to meet once a month to connect and make sure everyone has what they need, and every six weeks or so, we like to cook and share a meal together along with invited guests.
Located in a densely populated, up-and-coming residential neighborhood, just one subway stop away from Manhattan in the South Bronx.
- 8 minute walk to Express D and 4 trains at 161st street Yankee stadium subway station. (15 minute ride to midtown, or 7 minute ride to Harlem)
- 5 minute walk to big grocery market
- 15 minute walk to Bronx Terminal Market Mall (Target, Home Depot, etc.)

We are an intergenerational household. The five of us range in age from 25 to over 50.
Suzanne and Matt own the house, Patricia has lived with us for 6 years, Swati and Rachel have been here for a year. We like to cook and host dinner parties, create art, and have fun!

Swati is a yoga teacher, and Rachel is an outdoor enthusiast.
We’re looking for new housemates (singles or a couple) who are over 30, interested in more than just a room, and are up for some participation in maintaining the house. Artists or other creative types preferred.
