Private room in Midtown East - great views

The apartment is a two bedroom, one bathroom sixth floor walk up (no elevator) with lots of open space and bamboo floors, located in a beautiful pre-war building right across the street from Greenacre Park. I’ve definitely made a home here and I cherish and respect my apartment more than most people so it’s important that I find someone suitable to share and respect my home’s energy with.

The room itself is the smaller of the two but having stayed in it for a year when I first moved in, I can sincerely say it’s a wonderful room to call your own. Furniture includes a firm mattress/bed frame, a large bookshelf, a lamp, and nightstand. There’s also a large closet in the living room which I never use so that’s included as well. Window AC included along with incredible views of the city. Wifi is included in the rent.

The living room includes an HD TV with multiple streaming networks (Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and Paramount Plus) and a Visio sound bar with a built in subwoofer. Just a heads up, I’m big into music and singing so you’ll need to be cool with music always playing and me singing along, especially to Sade and Mariah Carey. I always love expanding my music taste so I would want someone who loves music too and we can jam and share music together. There is also an exposed brick wall and East/southeast facing windows allowing in lots of natural light.

The bathroom is a very standard Manhattan bathroom also with an East facing window and can also double as a steam room as the water to the shower gets incredibly hot.

The kitchen is also a very standard Manhattan kitchen with lots of storage/counter space, standard fridge, stove top, oven, and microwave (no dishwasher). There is also no trash chute on my floor so trash and recycling has to be taken down all six flights to the alley next to the building.

Nearby transportation includes the E, F, and 6 lines at Lexington and 53rd Street and Grand Central is only a 10-15 minute walk away.

The neighborhood includes plenty of delicious and fun restaurants/bars and the East River and Central Park within easy walking distance (10-20 minutes). There is no in unit or in building laundry but plenty of great wash and fold laundry services within a 5-10 minute walk.

I have only one rule that I take extremely seriously and I will never under any circumstances allow for it to be disrespected. Shoes must be taken off in the hallway and are never allowed to walk beyond the front door, this applies to you, to me, and to any guests no matter who they are. If this could potentially be an issue for you, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere, thank you.

**Full transparency** the lease renews on June 1st and the rent could potentially increase, the management company is pretty chill so I don’t think we would have to worry about signing anything official anytime soon but a $1,200 security deposit would need to be paid to my departing roommate upon moving in. Though I obviously hope the rent doesn’t increase, I don’t know what the increase could look like, but if signing the lease together in June becomes a discussion, please just keep this in mind.

Please reach out with any questions and I’ll look forward to further discussion!
