Looking for female housemate in communal Park Slope brownstone | $745 w/utilities | November 1

[Josh Maas-Howard]

Hello all! 

We have a small bedroom available in our large seven-bedroom shared house in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The room is available November 1. We are looking for a female housemate who doesn't smoke (in the house) or have pets, and is at least 25-years-old.

There are seven of us who rent the house. In addition to you, new housemates, we are two women and four men (who range in age from 28 to 54). The house has two high school teachers, a video producer, an actor/musician, an architect, and a computer programmer. We buy food as a group at the Park Slope Food Coop and we share in household responsibilities. Sometimes we cook meals together. We often hang out in the kitchen in the evening over a glass of wine or a cup of tea. We love living in the house, and we're confident you will too.

Our house is a beautiful 19th-century brownstone, with much of the original detail work intact. We are in the heart of Park Slope, near the Park Slope Food Coop and commercial amenities on 7th and on 5th Avenues. The house has lots of common space--a well-equipped large kitchen, a living room, a large parlor, two full bathrooms, one partial bathroom, and a garden in the back. We have a washer and dryer, cable TV, a subscription to the New York Times, and internet access. The house is near major subway lines. The 2/3 and B/Q trains are close by, and the R train is a few blocks away. 

The room is a cozy 6.5' by 13' with a small closet. It's on the 4th floor and has a nice view facing west, away from the street. The room will come mainly unfurnished, though it can include the lofted bed frame (for a full-sized mattress) that helps make the space very livable. It is ideal for someone who doesn't have a lot of stuff. Rent is $745 per month, which includes all utilities, including internet access. 

If you are interested, we are having an open house the evening of Wednesday, October 10. This will be the only time we will be available to show the room. The room is available November 1. For details on the open house (or if you have questions), please send me a message with your favorite thing to cook or eat so I know you actually read the post and aren't a robot (after extensive discussion we decided to only consider human applicants 😉).
