This beautiful, serene 1.5-bedroom apartment is in a modern, small walk-up building, in prime Greenpoint near the East River. I am looking for someone who is seeking a quiet relaxing space, and who is clean, mindful, and will treat the place with care.
The apartment is gorgeous and incredibly peaceful -- 14-foot ceilings, with huge windows overlooking trees/sky on the 3rd floor -- making you feel like you are living outdoors. Both the living space and bedroom are South-facing, so sunlight pours in throughout the day. It is a 3rd floor walk-up (no elevator).
The combined living/dining room has 2 sofas, a very large dining table used for meals and as a workspace, a large bookshelf, and several plants. An open kitchen makes the entire apartment feel very airy and open. The living space opens up to a large balcony with outdoor table, with views of trees/sky, over a quiet and mostly residential street. (The main commercial space nearby is a cozy cafe on the street below, with daytime outdoor seating but it is mostly quiet.)
The apartment has 1.5 bedrooms. The main bedroom is zen and spacious -- a calming space with 14-foot ceilings, a king-size bed, Avocado organic mattress, night stand, and mirror. A closet is available in the hallway.
The extra "0.5 bedroom" is an upstairs loft space that is currently used as a storage space, and as a cozy seating nook with a folding foam mattress/mini couch. A narrow staircase brings you upstairs to the loft, which has a ceiling height of 5 feet. (Most people will be unable to fully stand up there, but it can be comfortably used as a seating area).
Open kitchen comes with dishwasher, full-size stove, refrigerator, microwave, and good amount of counter space and cabinets. The kitchen contains standard equipment for cooking and food storage. The bathroom is spacious -- with a walk-in sliding glass-door shower, and large countertop and sink.
Laundry (washer + dryer) is on site -- located in the building's basement.
The apartment is located in quiet northern Greenpoint, near the waterfront, right off of Franklin Street. A few minutes' walk from the East River, several waterfront Greenpoint parks, and numerous great restaurants and cafes. Williamsburg and its shopping/amenities are about a 20 minute walk or 8-10 minute Citibike/Uber ride. A few local grocery stores are a few minutes' walk.
The building is a fairly modern brick walk-up building with a total of 8 units -- the neighbors are all very nice and quiet. I am looking for applicants who will be similarly quiet and respectful towards others living here.

TRANSPORTATION: The apartment is in prime Greenpoint near the waterfront. The location makes it easy to access Williamsburg, as well as both midtown and downtown Manhattan.

The B32/B62 bus stops are 1 block away, and offer super-quick (and empty bus) rides to either Williamsburg (to the south) or Long Island City (to the north) in just a few minutes.

Other nearby trains are the Bedford Ave L stop, and Vernon Blvd/Jackson Ave 7 train -- both a 20 minute walk, or 8 minute Uber/Citibike ride.
No pets -- Sorry! I love animals, but I won't be able to accommodate them here.
I have lived in this apartment for over 6 years and created a cozy home here. I value keeping the space clean, peaceful, and relaxing -- a sanctuary in the city.
