[Lease break] I'm looking for someone to take over the lease for my sunny top-floor 2 bed, 2 bath duplex apartment with a private rooftop patio in a classic brownstone across from Central Park.
Background: My wife and I have lived in this unit for over 4 years, and have loved our time here. We're moving to Brooklyn to be closer to friends, and so our lease is available for takeover starting mid-Jan, with a monthly rent of $6450. We'd prefer someone who is willing to commit to, at minimum, a 1 year lease.
About the apartment: The apartment is a duplex on the top floor of a walkup. The first level has one bedroom, one bathroom, and the living room, while the second level holds the second bedroom, bathroom, and the private deck. It is ~1000 sq ft in size, gets lots of natural light throughout the day (south-facing), and has tall ceilings that make the space feel open and airy. There's an in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, and wall-mounted split AC systems.
About the neighborhood: This is a fantastic part of the UWS with great proximity to the most popular parts of the park, and good bars and restaurants. The 72nd St train station (B,C lines) is right across the street (less than 30 feet away), Trader Joe's is two avenues east, and the Sunday farmer's market and flea market at the Museum of Natural History are a short walk away. You're also surrounded by great restaurants and shopsSala Thai, Magnolia Bakery, B Wine & 67 Gourmet (wine & cheese shops), and Pop Up Bagels to name a few.
Please get in touch if you're interested.
