Located in a renovated 19th century church, this three story, two bedroom apartment is one of a kind. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it and you will too. The centerpiece is the clocktower, which is serving as a living room/home theater.
Lease period is flexible up to one year.
360° panoramic views, central heating/cooling, FIOS, insanely high ceilings, shockingly quiet for being on a major street, and more brick and hardwood than you can shake a stick at. There’s even some of the original hand-painted tin ceiling.
Fourth floor walkup + two more flights up to the clocktower, but it's great for your booty and compliments the two gyms within a two block walk.
Other building amenities include parking (available to lease for a pretty reasonable price), a secure package delivery locker, 2x W/D just across the hall from the apartment, and its a block from the J/M/Z or a 12 min walk to the L.
The bedroom for rent is 10x15ft and unfurnished aside from a couple of mint-condition Ikea wardrobes in lieu of a closet.
I’m a filmmaker who’s often out of the house, and this apartment is particularly well suited to be shared because it has two living rooms - we can hang or avoid each other as much as we want. I have a very good home theater setup upstairs but it tucks away to allow hosting friends.
I’m looking for someone who likes a clean home, is respectful of the common spaces and likes living in a weird great apartment nearly as much as I do. Yes, it’s expensive, but my god is it worth it. If things go well, we can get you on the lease.
Hot water is covered by the building, internet/gas/electric are not and do vary by the month, but aren’t exorbitant.
I'm Drew (he/him), a 35 year old cinematographer hailing from Colorado. I went to Space Camp twice and I watch a lot of movies, the older the better. I'm fairly extroverted but also really appreciate my alone time at home, and I like things orderly but don't mind a temporary mess. I have an office in Williamsburg so often spend time outside the house when not on set.
Tenant and leaseholder
Reference, bank statement/pay stubs, one month + security. Sublease is flexible up to one year, and we can get you on the lease as well.
Dogs are allowed and I've already paid the pet deposit for a previous pet, but don't have one right now. Sadly I'm allergic to cats.
