A knockout of an apartment—this 700SF, parlor level one-bedroom in a 1890s Bed Stuy brownstone is rich with details and brimming with storage space. Tall windows, 10-foot ceilings and a wall of sliders that open the living room and kitchen to a 150sf private deck fills the space with light and air year round. Below, a landscaped garden is a little oasis shared with fabulous downstairs neighbors. Inside, herringbone wood floors, ornate moldings, and exposed brick serve pre-war glamour.

The large bedroom has a full wall of built-in custom pax closets and pocket french doors that can open up the space or cocoon in for privacy. The open living room / kitchen features chef-approved appliances, integrated lighting, and enough cabinets and pantry space to take up a new hobby (or store your off-season clothes if you're more the order-in kind), plus a second wall of built in closets. The bathroom has heated terrazzo floors, a deep soaking tub with glass shower doors, gobs more storage and a window to keep it easy breezy.

The Area:

North Bed Stuy is incredibly convenient. You're 5 mins from the G train at Myrtle-Willoughby, 10ish to the JMZ at Myrtle-Broadway. Manhattan in under 30 minutes, Williamsburg, Bushwich, Fort Greene, etc. within 15 mins. Quick walk to Herbert Von King Park and vibrant Tompkins Ave, with Sally's, Macosa Trattoria, Myrtle Diner, Cookies, and Lincoln Market all nearby.

The Neighbors:

The house has two other units (one with fully private entrance), occupied by friends who are artists and performers. It’s a warm, neighborly environment where people know each other and take care of the space—it’s not a party house, more a calm, lived-in home. The block is incredible! People hang on stoops, stop over for a drink and a chat, and generally take good care of each other.

About This Lister

I am the owner and current occupant. This house has been a labor of love for the past ten years and I'm looking forward to passing the apartment on to someone who will love it as well as I have. I'll continue to be closeby, but moving in with my partner!
