    I'm renting out my beautiful home while I spend a year in London. This thoughtfully designed apartment is part of a boutique new building with only 10 units, featuring a bike room, roof access, and a friendly community of neighbors. Apartment Features: Light & Space: 10' ceilings and oversized windows fill every room with natural light. Kitchen: Black granite countertops, convection oven, gas stove, compact dishwasher, microwave, plus a Vitamix, cookware, dinnerware, and silverware provided. Dining & Living: Vintage mid-century Scandinavian teak dining table (expandable), spacious living room with DWR sofa, mounted TV, and a bookshelf stocked with beautiful art books. Bedrooms & Bathrooms: Primary Suite: Minimalist for restful sleep, with blackout curtains, a walk-in closet (modular and customizable), and an en-suite bathroom with double vanity and a spa-like shower (filtered waterfall + handheld heads). Guest Room/Office: Outfitted with a standing desk, Herman Miller chair, Blue Dot lounge chair, DWR bookcase with books, and local textile art. Bathrooms: The full guest bath offers both a soaking tub and shower. Additional Details: In-unit washer and dryer with storage for cleaning supplies. Walkway includes a full-length mirror, shoe rack, and additional closet space. Thoughtfully furnished with high-quality, modern pieces. Houseplants (including a white tiger orchid, Monstera, and pothos) bring a sense of home. Location: Just steps away from neighborhood favorites like Longshadow Cafe and Surfish restaurant, plus easy access to the F/G/R trains. You're five avenues from Prospect Park and ten blocks from Greenwood Cemeteryperfect for green space, weekend picnics, and farmers markets. Within walking distance are Nitehawk Cinema, Gowanus art studios, boutique fitness studios, cafes, restaurants, and lively local bars. Rental Terms: Included in Rent: Water Separately Billed: Electricity, internet, and gas Pet Policy: Small pets under 20lbs, no dogs Smoking Policy: Non-smoking household Lease Options: Flexible 6, 9, or 12 months (or another arrangement that works for you). Longer stays are preferred, but I won't turn away the right person. This is my first and only home, kept clean, minimal, and in excellent condition. I'm looking for a conscientious tenant who will appreciate and care for the space as much as I do. The neighbors are friendly and helpful, making the building a true community. If you're interested, please tell me a bit about yourself: what you do for work, how you spend your free time, and how long you'd like to lease for.
