After 2+ months of looking on Streeteasy every day, Claudia finally found her dream apartment. "The listing photos were tragic, but I spotted the massive windows with original shutters and of course, the Pier Mirror. The home was built in 1900 and was originally owned by a doctor and his family. I toured it the next morning, became BFFs with the broker of the building, and got accepted soon after."
Claudia moved in on November 4th, 2023 and got to work making updates almost immediately. "I had the walls painted a fresh creamy white color, installed floor-to-ceiling shelves and made some renter-friendly updates to the kitchen. I love how tall the ceilings are and all of the original dark moldings. I feel like the months of getting denied by other apartments was all so I could find this place. We were made for eachother!"
If there’s one piece of advice I can give to others moving into a new space, it’s to never rush. Slowly collecting pieces you truly love is so worth it in the end. I love pieces that tell a story and hold memories.
