2300, built in library, big ass rooms, her decor, I’m in love😭

@Letthemflourish 2 года назад

She needs to do a “how to find an apartment this beautiful in Brooklyn for $2300 episode.” Very dope space Sis!!!! Keep going!

@adrianprestell 2 года назад

I’m trying to see if she owns or rents this place.

@50crowley 2 года назад

$2300 is an absolute steal for this place. It must be rent stabilized, because this apartment would easily rent for $3200 on the market.

@infinitedreaming222 2 года назад

its probably family owned and she rents from them

@ishmaelvasquez 2 года назад

@@50crowley It's in deep crown heights so makes sense. She just has great style and curation.

@Kevinschart 2 года назад

yeah they really do a disservice to the viewers with the pricing. what's the point in showing these beautiful apartments with discount prices if they are extremely rare? Anyone who has apartment hunted in brooklyn/crown heights knows the chances of finding this place for $2300 are next to zero.

@isadean 2 года назад

I've never seen such amazing architectural features in a NYC apartment - the dragons! the library! the built in shutters! All the natural wood! You're so blessed to have scored this unique space and you're living so well in there - high joy vibes

@sallyphillips9175 2 года назад

The woodwork is incredible! The whole apartment is incredible!

She has patiently curated all the pieces over time. Thats what makes her home so special.

@listed 2 года назад

YES. We love patiently curated pieces collected over time. YES.

@madeleinerose7090 11 месяцев назад

What makes this place so special is that the rent is claimed to be about one-third the price it should be. 15’ ceilings; original parquet floors; original, perfectly preserved solid wood mouldings, windows, shutters, fireplace, and massive pocket doors; huge kitchen; TWO bedrooms - the only unfortunate aspect of this apartment is the tiny bathroom, and even that has a beautiful window in it. $2300 should only get a dark, cramped studio. Her stuff needs to be cleared out to make way for someone who has the ability to decorate this exquisite piece of history appropriately. She is obviously getting this gifted to her from family (or a ‘friend’) because it is an extreme mismatch.

@srideout91 9 месяцев назад

@@madeleinerose7090 you don’t know that. Stop making up for scenarios in your head. Just because you are not as successful as her doesn’t mean you need to take it out on her and try and shame her for her accomplishments. Get the mental health that you so desperately need and go be miserable somewhere else.

@martiwaterman1437 2 года назад

WOW, WOW, WOW. Everyone watching who knows NYC apartments is watching this tour in awe with a dropped jaw. $2300 IS iNCREDIBLE! I grew up in Crown Heights and this apartment is the only time I've ever considered moving back.

@tylerbhumphries Год назад

The apartment was beautiful. I’m so glad some developer didn’t come through and gut everything. And I love how her modern style fits so well with all of the built-ins. Everything about the place was beautiful.

@JohnWilsonComicsGuy 2 года назад

Her place is enormous, ornate, and so well laid out and designed. I've rarely been jealous of someone's NYC apartment but I definitely am of this one.

@rmonson5002 2 года назад

Agreed. I thought this was going to be a tour of one bedroom studio in a cool old Victorian building. But then it was so spacious with those pocket doors and all that architectural detail and those amazing high ceilings. And the original shutters in that beautiful bay window? Damn. I am a peanut butter and jealous sammich! And you're right she's adorable and amazing too. My new favorite tour!

@AM-pr5hl 2 года назад

@@adrianprestell I would say you get MORE space for your money in Brooklyn but this looks like an at least 1000 sq ft space and Crown Heights is a cool part of BK. This place would go for 3k or more and that's just for the square footage. Could easily be $4k because of the solid wood detailing and crown modeling. This is a deal of a lifetime of an apartment.
