I'm looking for someone to take over the second bedroom in my amazing 2 bed/1 bath in Bed-Stuy. Great for someone who may want to live alone but can't make it work, and wants to create a peaceful shared space with a communicative and thoughtful roommate. Looking for someone to sign onto the lease ASAP starting Jan 1, but start date is flexible (could be February-March). Short-term sublet may be available while I secure a long-term tenant.

- Closet and built-in bookshelf
- Shares a wall with the other bedroom and living room
- 10.2' x 11.7'

Apartment:
- First floor with a tall stoop, so feels more like 1.5 floor
- Very tall ceilings, open floor plan, hardwood floors, furnished living room (but open to changing the vibe)
- 2 large windows with gorgeous light all day long
- Utility corner with bike racks, general storage, and sewing/crafting area
- Apartment is cozy with a modern aesthetic, very much a peaceful sanctuary, feels like a home
