Description

Beautiful, fully furnished 2 BR 1930s era brick rowhouse with a separate large office/ studio space (which can function as 3rd BR) available for sublet for the month of August 2025 in the lovely Windsor Terrace neighborhood. The house has great natural light in every room, and is artfully furnished for comfort, function and creativity with an open plan living room/ dining room/ kitchen, 1.5 baths, a huge master bedroom with washer/ dryer and two large closets, and large kids room with fun details and desk. There is a large private patio (not included in square footage) with a BBQ, table with sun umbrella for outdoor dining, and garden with herbs, veggies and flowers. Recent renovations include chef’s kitchen, bathrooms, and mini-splits for climate control in each room. The place is ideal for small-scale entertaining. The house’s most unique feature is the 400sqft office space in a converted garage which can double as a 3rd bedroom. This charming outbuilding features 3 desks, a full sized futon, a 4k projector with a 120” screen and surround sound stereo system, and great sound privacy whether you’re looking for quiet or space to make some noise. It is a fantastic space for writing or any work, film viewing, playing music or singing, dancing, exercise/ yoga, or art/ craft projects. We are heavily discounting what this space would usually be rented for because we need catsitting for our bonded pair of adorable, friendly cats, Fritz & Elsie, and some low key plant care. The cats just need food and litter change 1-2x day (there is an autofeeder if you need to be out in the evening or sleep in). The outdoor gardens are on an automatic watering system that just needs to be turned off temporarily if there is soaking rain; indoor plants need watering every 1-2 weeks. Windsor Terrace is a safe, quiet, tree and garden-filled neighborhood nestled between Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery, bordering Park Slope, South Slope and Kensington. The address is located steps from Brooklyn’s largest park and the historic cemetery, a supermarket and pharmacy, a variety of fun shops and restaurants, and the 15th St and Fort Hamilton F/G subway stops. Walking distance to Brooklyn Museum, Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Street parking is usually available, and the area is great for biking with Citibike stations nearby. (If you are an experienced urban cyclist you could potentially borrow our road bikes or cargo bike). My husband and I are filmmakers raising a 9 year old in Brooklyn. (I am also a former academic.) The basement apartment of this house is rented to two quiet and respectful tenants; the front garden space is shared with them.

House Sitting

I am looking for help while I am away

I would like help with my pet(s)

Two friendly cats, Fritz and Elsie, bonded siblings, need food and litter cleaning 1-2x day. Autofeeder is available to make feeding labor only 1x day. They are both super sweet and their habit of curling up together will melt your heart!

I would like help with mail and deliveries

Just making sure mailbox doesn't overflow.

I would like help with plants or garden

Front garden and patio garden have auto watering systems that shouldn't need much attention except turning them off temporarily when its very rainy. Indoor plants need watering every 1-2 weeks.
