We are subletting our charming two-bedroom apartment on College Hill in June, July, and part of August. The starting and ending dates for the sublet are somewhat flexible—you could start subletting in late May and leave a bit later in August. We have a strong preference for long-term sublets, i.e. for two months or a little more.
The apartment occupies the entire ground floor of a three-story house. It is composed of a small entryway, a parlor room, a living room, a dining room, a large kitchen, a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a small bedroom. It is ideal for a couple. The landlords live upstairs, and you will share a lovely backyard with them.
The apartment gets plenty of light as every room has multiple windows. Except for the bedrooms and bathroom, all rooms overlook either the street or the backyard. There are no buildings directly opposite to the house on the side overlooking the street: we are directly across from the Hope High School Park.
Our kitchen is very well stocked, if you like to cook, and has all the standard appliances (oven range, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, toaster). We do not own a TV, but do have a projector and pull-up screen. We own many plants, and you would be in charge of watering them. There is plenty of storage for clothes in both bedrooms. We will make space for your belongings depending on your needs. A washer and dryer are in the house’s basement, and are, of course, free to use.
There are 4 ductless mini-splits in the apartment, which will allow you to keep the space as cool as you’d like. One in each bedroom, one in the kitchen, and one in the parlor room.
If you have a car, the house has a driveway, shared with the landlords, and you can simply park there.
The apartment is a 10 minutes walk from Brown University, and a 12 minutes walk from Whole Foods Market.
It goes without saying, but we are looking for (very) serious, considerate people, who will take excellent care of the apartment.
Pets are not allowed.
My wife and I are subletting the apartment. We are academics working at Brown University.
