This Might Be the Cutest, Coziest Holiday-Decorated Studio Apartment in All of Brooklyn

“I fell in love with the neighborhood immediately as I walked down the brownstone and tree-lined street. There were even these adorable gas lamps still operating all along the block,” she writes.

“The front doors, entryway, stairwell all had its prewar character, and I remember just being in awe walking up to the unit itself. Often the emphasis is what’s inside the home, but I do think the environment entering and leaving your place can really impact your day-to-day.”

For Melody, who’s a designer, writer, and content creator and runs a small design studio, it helped that this unit had advantages despite the small size. “The high ceilings and massive windows made the 350-square-foot footprint feel much larger. I loved the fireplace feature, and how large/updated the kitchen and bathroom were,” she writes.

“I really feel like I lucked out because I continue to find more reasons to fall in love with this neighborhood and location!”
