Garden Studio Apartment in Victorian Home
Apartments for Rent
I have a two room, 350 sq. ft. studio apartment which is available for rent. It is located in Stapleton, Staten Island which is just south of the Ferry. It is a 25 minute walk, a 7 minute drive/ bus/ Staten Island Railway ride, or 10 minute bike ride to the Ferry.
The apartment is on the first floor of our Victorian home on a beautiful historic street called Harrison Street. It has an eat in kitchen with a washer/dryer unit, a full bathroom with a bathtub, a small sitting nook off of the kitchen and a bedroom. There is a small closet in the bedroom. We used zero VOC paint throughout and environmentally friendly bamboo floors and cabinets. There is a lovely garden in the back that is shared with us and the apartment is filled with light. The grass thinned out over the winter but we are re-seeding it and it will grow in nicely soon. We only use organic fertilizer, with no harmful chemicals in it.
The apartment can come furnished (as seen in the pictures although some of the furniture has changed since the pictures were taken), partially or unfurnished depending upon the needs of the tenant.
No smoking. Pets are upon approval with an added deposit. The rent is $1460 per month which includes all utilities: heat, hot water, electricity, and wifi. If more than one occupant will be residing in the apartment, then there will be an additional $75 per month fee for utilities.
The space is on the first floor of our home, which we live in and own. My husband and myself will be showing the apartment.
