Available March 1

A fully furnished, thoughtfully renovated one-bedroom garden apartment with a workspace nook, located on a historic, tree-lined stretch of Bergen Street between Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues. The apartment has its own private ground-floor entry and is part of a two-family Brooklyn townhouse that is well maintained.

The layout feels calm and spacious, with southern exposure from the bay windows and generous proportions for a garden-level home. The kitchen and bathroom are modern, while the rest of the apartment reflects the character and original details of a 120-year-old townhouse.

About This Lister

Our current tenant is moving into a larger apartment in our property in the same neighborhood.

We are a working couple who met while studying design and architecture in Rotterdan. We live upstairs and will show the apartment ourselves. We've used the listing project for what seems like 10 years now, ever since we lived in a converted church in Redhook.
