East Village
Greetings,
You have discovered our favorite place in all of New York. Located on one of the oldest streets in the city, facing a 100+ year old tree, this apartment is known as 'The Treehouse'. Home to an Artist and a Scholar. Thanks to our new edition of tatami mats, our shared living space has been converted to a 'Teahouse' of sorts. It also has a futon we added to be considered as a couch, however, it is also able to be put to the side for more space. A creative space to stimulate inspirational growth.
I have lived in this unit the past 9 years with my roommate and we are currently looking for someone to sublet the bedroom downstairs. This was both of our first homes in the city and our only reason for staying. We are looking for someone who understands the energy of the space and who is willing to look after it with the same care as we do as well as bring their own creative force.
In a city like NYC, a sacred refuge such as this treehouse becomes a nourishing oasis that never ceases to recharge and revitalize.
Perfect for the fall season of new york weather. The rooftop terrace has some of the best roof views I personally have experienced. The entire apartment can be considered a duplex, with a roommate (Mohamad) who lives upstairs. He is a scholar specializing in Islamic Studies at Columbia University.
The area the roof faces is a garden of the building across the street, so it is extremely quiet. You do not hear any traffic. It is also home to a variety of bird species such as Blue Jays, Red Cardinals there are also Falcons and Hawks that make their way onto the roof. To watch the tree change seasonally is a tranquil gift.
Ideally this is a place for someone who wishes to seek inspiration within New York City, or someone who wishes to live like an Artist. We have spent the last few years crafting this space as an Artists residency that has housed creative friends and family from all walks of life. Ideally, we keep this artistic energy strong within the Treehouse and are looking for like minded individuals who work within the creative field
This place can be more or less considered a New York City retreat, or an Artist's residency. Perfect for someone's first visit to NYC as it will set the tone for what the city truly has to offer if you are able to sit and listen. Also ideal for someone who knows the city and is looking for a unique perspective to reignite forgotten passion.
This is a very special place and has evolved and come to life over the years. It is very sensitive to energies and we are looking for someone who respects this. This place is to be treated more so like a living gallery or museum. We look forward to seeing what story you will share with this space. It is a companion in and of itself and will look after you, as you look after it.
