Sublet: July 1, 2014-June 30, 2015

3br/2ba duplex in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. 

This ~1400 sf duplex is located on the 4th/top floor of a 35-unit elevator building with live-in superintendent, evening doorman, video intercom, and onsite gym. 

Family friendly: more than two dozen kids in the building.

Around the corner from 2/3 trains at Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum, two blocks from 4/5 trains at Franklin Ave. 

Great neighborhood - one block to supermarket, new restaurants and cafes, Eastern Athletic (full service health club w indoor pool), Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Gardens, short walk to playgrounds, Brooklyn Central Library and Prospect Park.

Three full-sized bedrooms (two on main level, master upstairs), two updated full bathrooms, central air conditioning & heating (you control the temp).

Huge private deck with Manhattan skyline view (+ five bridges!), outdoor furniture seats ten, large charcoal smoker/grill and container garden. 

New kitchen (currently kosher) w/ stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, Caesarstone counters. Expandable dining table seats six-ten+.

Cable tv w roku and multiregion DVD player, WiFi and land line phone. 

Common laundry on each floor of the building.

Fully furnished for a family of four. 

How much does it cost?

Rent is $3,950 plus utilities. This is market rate for the area. But this is a co-op building, not a rental building, so you're getting in on a well maintained, quiet building with friendly neighbors who care about who lives here.

Utilities = gas, electric, landline phone and cable tv. The apartment has central air/heat so you can control how much you spend on gas and electric. Cable tv is necessary for basic reception, but you can add whatever channels you like (we only have basic now.)

Yes, that's an actual rainbow as seen looking east from the deck.

Floorplans

Floorplan notes:
Upstairs - deck is the entire outside area, not just the shaded portion labeled DECK. (Yes, that makes the deck larger than the master bedroom!)
Downstairs - the 3rd BR/DA is fully closed off from the kitchen (solid wall in place now), with french doors to the living room.

Ok, I want in. How to proceed?

All serious inquiries require an application. This is a co-op board requirement.

Not to worry, this is not a hoity-toity Manhattan co-op board. They're not looking to keep people out. But you do need to demonstrate financial means to pay the rent. Tax returns, bank statements, letters of recommendation, etc. Guarantors may be okay in the case of students.

Approved applicants will be required to interview with the board before final approval. Skype interview ok if you're not local.
