About This Home

As of April 2025

This thoughtfully renovated 1-bedroom (flex 2) apartment spans 850 square feet and includes a private outdoor patio, blending prewar charm with a peaceful farmhouse ambiance.

Located on the ground floor of a classic brownstone, the versatile front room features an original mantel and parquet floors, offering the option of a living room, study, or second bedroom. A French door provides added privacy when needed. The spacious open kitchen showcases exposed brick, custom cabinetry, open shelving, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of room for a large dining table. On a warm day, you can open the door to enjoy the tranquility of your private patio and shared yard.

The bedroom is tucked at the back of the apartment, with east-facing windows that flood the space with natural light. Additional conveniences include a Bosch washer/dryer in the unit.
