This studio features 15' ceilings, two 12' windows and a wood floor. This is a great opportunity to move into Eastworks and save a bit of money on your first year! I am looking for someone to take over the remainder of my lease, so you will enjoy the benefit of lower rent than comparable spaces in the building. The studio is located on the lower level, close to bathrooms and work sink, and conveniently located close to the freight elevator. $344/mo
