Introducing our newest location Bedstuy Brownstone! This 4-story classic brownstone has tons of charm and natural light. The upper duplex is approximately 1,400 sqft spread over two floors. One is a traditional two-room Parlor floor with ornate high ceilings, original moldings, and a working fireplace. The top floor consists of a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, and nursery. Surprisingly, for a Brownstone, natural light exposure is everywhere. The decor is a clean, abstracted modern design thoughtfully curated onto a Victorian architectural backdrop. The house is still a work in progress lending a rustic artist vibe with exposed brick and worn-in details. The calming, neutral interiors are a perfect canvas for media production. In addition to our upper duplex is a garden-level apartment with backyard access that can be made available once it’s finished being renovated. This additional space has a kitchen, living room/bedroom and a bathroom. Please inquire for status.
