Friendly housemate wanted for cozy Crown Heights group house
Andrew Otto
We’re looking for a new roommate to join our four-floor shared house in Crown Heights.
The details: our shared spaces include a kitchen (with dishwasher), three (three!) living rooms, and a backyard garden. There are three bathrooms, a washer/dryer in the basement, and a deck on the second floor and a piano for all to play. The room for rent is on the garden level, and it’s the only bedroom on that floor. It’s very big—really the size of a studio apartment—and has a south-facing window and its own bathroom.
You’d be living with five people in their late twenties/early thirties who work in education, journalism, and theater. We’re all women, but you don’t have to be. Nearly all of us like biking; some of us make music. Every single one of us likes home-cooked meals, good conversation, and the outdoors. We are politically engaged in a variety of ways, and we think it’s important to contribute to the life of our neighborhood and city. Sometimes we host reading nights, performance salons, film screenings, and other events here. We are clean and committed to sharing in housework, we try to be considerate and open communicators, and we love living together.
We’re looking for someone who is friendly, creative, and excited about living in a house like ours. We recognize and respect that everybody needs privacy some of the time, but we’re looking for a roommate who wants to build community with us and is interested in shaping and contributing to our home. If you want a place to just come home and sleep in, it might not be for you. But if this sounds up your alley, write and tell us a bit about yourself, and why you’re interested in with us. We hope to hear from you soon
Rent is $1055 + utilities and security to move in is $2000. You won't be on the lease (unless you really want to be!), until lease renewal time Sept. 1 2017.
