Available now: A thoughtfully renovated, artist-designed 1-bedroom apartment in Red Hook, Brooklyn. This detached second-story home, set back from the street above a quiet workshop, offers extraordinary privacy, custom finishes, and a calm, light-filled living space.
The space features lime-washed plaster walls, exposed wooden beams, live-edge wood cabinetry in the kitchen and bathroom, and south-facing windows in the bedroom. A living room skylight floods the open space with light throughout the day, and the large private deck offers a peaceful outdoor escape. Between the heavily insulated walls and the lightly populated neighbourhood, this apartment is unusually quiet.
All new kitchen appliances, including an induction stovetop. The apartment is heavily insulated for both temperature and sound.
Utilities included, plus a large washer/dryer in a shared downstairs storage area. A dedicated motorcycle parking spot is included, with more available.
Ideal for someone in the motorcycle, LGBTQ+ community and/or creative fields — this is a thoughtful, welcoming home in a vibrant neighborhood.

I work as a scenic artist/sculptor for film and TV, and I have a background in design. I’m an active motorcyclist and part of the vibrant NYC motorcycle and LGBTQ communities. I own the property and live in the front house. I renovated the apartment myself and I'm looking for a tenant who is responsible, values peace and quiet, and who would be happy to live in a moto-positive environment. Rental of part of my motorcycle workshop on the ground floor may be available. I'm happy to show you the property!
