Size

800 sq. ft.

A sundrenched, high-ceilinged room is available in my beautiful pre-war 800 sq ft apartment in Yorkville. The room comes with a full bed and linens, a desk, a dresser, full-wall mirror and beautiful built-in bookshelves which provide ample storage space. The apartment features an enormous eat-in kitchen, a palatial living room with a massive Persian rug, beautiful furnishings, a Steinway baby grand and a television w/ hbo max, hulu, netlifx & amazon prime. The apartment has hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, crown molding, and built-in cabinetry galore.

You would be living with me and my boyfriend. I am an actress and jazz singer, and he is a jazz musician. The apartment feels very quintessential old New York in a Woody Allen kind of way. I have tons of books and I've decorated the place with lots of antiques. It is a railroad apartment, so we would have to pass through your room to use the living room (which we hardly ever would do except to use the piano (we never watch TV)-- so essentially the entire living room is yours to spread out in) and you would pass through our room to get to the bathroom. The room is currently being used as an office, but previously we shared the space with a housemate for many years and have a thick curtain for the entrance into the kitchen. If that bohemian style works for you, then it works for us!

The apartment is on the 2nd floor of a classic New York townhouse. There are only 5 units in the building, so it is always very quiet. Yorkville is a wonderful neighborhood. I am three blocks from the East 86 Street Q Train and very close to Central Park, Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade. Also very close to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim and the Neue Gallerie.

About This Lister

I am an actress and jazz singer. I am also a native New Yorker who grew up right here in Yorkville. I love to read, cook, listen to jazz music and watch old movies. I'm usually out and about during the day unless I'm home making an audition tape. My boyfriend is out during the day 6 days a week, and both of us are almost always out at night because that's when we have our gigs. When I'm not out, I like quiet evenings at home.

Lister's Relationship to the Space

Rental requirements

1 month's rent deposit to be returned at the end of the stay. I am ideally looking someone longer-term, but am open to someone who would want to stay short-term. I am flexible on move-in/move-out dates.
