This 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom (2 bathrooms available) fully-furnished duplex—with a rooftop terrace and an outdoor kitchen—can be found at the crossing of St Marks Avenue and Ralph Avenue in Brooklyn. This townhouse apartment share is located on the 3rd and 4th floors (4th and 5th floors in Europe) of a no-elevator building in Crown Heights, Bedford-Stuyvesant. The tree-lined street has sidewalks and a bike lane. 

With a stark aesthetic, this shared rental’s living room features a sofa while the open kitchen has an oven, fridge and freezer (from Fisher and Paykel), and a dishwasher. Also an electrical cooktop, downdraft, tea kettle, dishwasher, water filter, kitchen utensils, blender, steamer, toaster, and many storage cabinets! There is a projector with a sound bar so that you can enjoy your films large on the wall. Throughout this shared apartment, you will find a bold, restrained color palette, curving lines, and exposed material (painted brick, wooden ceiling beams, hardwood flooring). All furniture is custom made.

Each of 4 bedrooms has a double-sized bed. A custom-built desk, bookshelves, nightstand, matching garbage can, and storage (including under-bed drawer storage) offer work and study arrangements. The large closet (8 feet or around 2.5 meters) has hangers and more custom shelving and drawers. Bed linens are provided. There is a large, custom mirror and three windows that have a southern, garden view of the beach-like area found alongside a swimming pool. These windows have shades. And the room has a dimmer light. The two bathrooms have a falling rain showerhead and a handheld shower head along with two sinks, custom mirror, and vanity storage. Additionally, there is a washing machine and a dryer in the apartment.

A highlight, this shared apartment has private access to 1,000-square-feet of roof deck. Here, there is a pergola (an outdoor living room with outdoor furniture including lounge chairs and an outdoor kitchen–a sink, electrical barbecue, and fridge). 50 bamboo plants in custom made planters give the space greenery.

The closest public green space is the South Pacific Playground, which is 0.2 miles (around 300 meters) from the shared apartment. There is a basketball court here as well as playground equipment. Pitkin Avenue is a street with many retail shops—and it is approximately 0.7 miles or 1 km from the duplex if you want to do some shopping.
