Rustic Williamsburg Duplex With Backyard Artist's Studio Renting for $7,995 a Month

This charming duplex apartment offers a cozy country feel in an unlikely spot: an industrial stretch of South 1st Street in Williamsburg. It’s on the bottom two floors of a townhouse that stands like an outpost on its largely commercial block.

Inside you’ll find wood-beamed ceilings, wide-plank flooring, a wood-burning fireplace flanked by stacks of split logs, and other homey touches. The kitchen’s got a farmhouse sink, wooden countertops, a Viking stove, and a pair of French doors that lead to a beaut of a garden, walled in on either side for maximum privacy.

Said garden has a slate patio, a wall of climbing ivy, a bevy of plants, a custom-built wood-burning fireplace in brick, and an artist’s studio in the rear — a beguiling touch if you have need for one. If you don’t it could be used as a den or a third bedroom (presumably there’s heat back there).

There are two bedrooms on the upper floor inside, separated by a pair of walk-in closets. The master’s got a smallish soaking tub by the foot of the bed.

There’s a finished basement with laundry, and zoned A/C.

Listed by the owner, the apartment is renting for $7,995 a month. Which is no small sum, but it’s a pretty distinctive space. What do you think of it?
