14 Verona St APT 303, Brooklyn, NY 11231

Welcome to Red Hook! 12 mths+ roommate to share a furnished loft warehouse apartment; located in the old ‘Monarch Luggage’/ ‘American Stopper Factory’. About the Loft: - Bright and airy space with 12-foot ceilings. - The location is super quiet, and Coffey Park is directly opposite front of the building on Verona St. - You will rent one large, unfurnished bedroom of approx. 10ft x 16ft. You may build it out how you like. - Open dining with a large French chandelier and railway sleeper dining table—seats six—potentially eight. - Open plan kitchen with a standard refrigerator, gas stove, and microwave - Private outdoor terrace for gardening and laying about in the sun with wine and a book. - Large, bright, and modern subway tile bathroom with bathtub. - Original wooden factory floors that creak in all the right places. - Windows all around the loft provide an abundance of natural light and excellent cross ventilation in the warmer months. - All windows have coverings for privacy. - Central radiator heating. - Spectrum Internet. - HUGE communal courtyard for bicycle, motorcycle, or scooter storage. - Communal vegetable, flower garden, and BBQ area. You can pretty much set up what you want out there. - Two industrial-sized washers and dryers on each of the four floors. About me: I’m Zane: 48yo, gay, white male. I’m employed F/T as a Career Coach and Case Manager. I take college credits online in the evenings. My volunteerism is peace-circle work: a Native American form of Alternatives to Incarceration at the Red Hook Community Justice Centre. When not working and studying, I like to cycle, read, meditate, garden, work out, see art, watch plays, operas, ballets, performance-art, most types of music, zoom friends, drink all kinds of tea, amble the streets, hang in parks, swim at beaches, people watch, and travel—I am well-travelled. Most, but not all of the aforementioned, currently happens from home. I have a desk set up at one end of the kitchen table from 8-5 pm, Monday through Friday. Hopefully not for too much longer, but who knows? I’ve been inoculated—a card-carrying, double vaccinee. I’m still super-careful, and you should be too. About You: I’m open to all races, ages, sexes, orientations, etc. You should be mature (of mind, not necessarily years) and responsible (whatever you do in the common areas of the loft—leave it as you found it). Good-natured—that’s broad, but having a light-hearted approach to life and a sense of humour is desirable. One person only - No couples. The loft is spacious, but with two bedrooms and the rest of it open space, it’s a small world after all! Having a clean and tidy home is essential to me; this won’t work out if you are not clean and tidy—your room is the exception, as is mine. You must be financially secure and able to cover your rent and bills five days before the due dates each month; this is non-negotiable. No smoking/vaping in the common areas. There is a terrace for smoking/vaping weed or smoke it in your room with the door closed; tobacco—outside only. At this point, if you’re still interested, tell me about you? To meet with you, I would like to know, who you are, what's important to you, what you do for work, what you do in your spare time, your schedules, things you love, stuff you hate, and any other details you care to share. All of that or just some of it—up to you. nycz@mac.com
