Inside Look: 4 Studios That Make Small Spaces Desirable in NYC

This Brooklyn studio promises a “unique open layout allowing for maximum comfort.” That layout includes three closets, a washer/dryer, and 11-foot-7-inch by 9-foot-2-inch open kitchen area that leads to a 12-foot-7-inch by 15-foot-3-inch living / sleeping area. The apartment, located in the Downtown Brooklyn / Fort Greene area and listed for $530,000, is all about the views – with its floor-to-ceiling windows that show the Manhattan skyline. The building is also “green” with a fitness center, 50-foot heated indoor pool, and a landscaped multi-level roof garden.
