Touring a $2,300 Brooklyn Brownstone NYC Apartment | Naj Austin

[@Letthemflourish]

She needs to do a “how to find an apartment this beautiful in Brooklyn for $2300 episode.” Very dope space Sis!!!! Keep going!

[@adrianprestell]

I’m trying to see if she owns or rents this place.

[@50crowley]

$2300 is an absolute steal for this place. It must be rent stabilized, because this apartment would easily rent for $3200 on the market.

[@infinitedreaming222]

its probably family owned and she rents from them

[@ishmaelvasquez]

@@50crowley It's in deep crown heights so makes sense. She just has great style and curation.

[@Kevinschart]

yeah they really do a disservice to the viewers with the pricing. what's the point in showing these beautiful apartments with discount prices if they are extremely rare? Anyone who has apartment hunted in brooklyn/crown heights knows the chances of finding this place for $2300 are next to zero.

[@Fluxxxx]

2300, built in library, big ass rooms, her decor, I’m in love😭

[@isadean]

I've never seen such amazing architectural features in a NYC apartment - the dragons! the library! the built in shutters! All the natural wood! You're so blessed to have scored this unique space and you're living so well in there - high joy vibes

[@sallyphillips9175]

The woodwork is incredible! The whole apartment is incredible!

[@OrangeElixir]

Naj knows how to decorate it perfectly. I love her style. I bet, when she first found that place, she couldn't wait to move into it.

[@richardvinsen2385]

All that beautiful wood is amazing.

[@aroha4154]

Brownstones are all over in Brooklyn.

[@MTMF.london]

@@aroha4154 Not everyone of them has original features. Many landlords/owners tend to strip them away to make them look 'modern' and/or to carve them up to make more units.

[@fortheloveofdesign6948]

She has patiently curated all the pieces over time. Thats what makes her home so special.

[@listed]

YES. We love patiently curated pieces collected over time. YES.

[@madeleinerose7090]

What makes this place so special is that the rent is claimed to be about one-third the price it should be. 15’ ceilings; original parquet floors; original, perfectly preserved solid wood mouldings, windows, shutters, fireplace, and massive pocket doors; huge kitchen; TWO bedrooms - the only unfortunate aspect of this apartment is the tiny bathroom, and even that has a beautiful window in it. $2300 should only get a dark, cramped studio. Her stuff needs to be cleared out to make way for someone who has the ability to decorate this exquisite piece of history appropriately. She is obviously getting this gifted to her from family (or a ‘friend’) because it is an extreme mismatch.

[@srideout91]

@@madeleinerose7090 you don’t know that. Stop making up for scenarios in your head. Just because you are not as successful as her doesn’t mean you need to take it out on her and try and shame her for her accomplishments. Get the mental health that you so desperately need and go be miserable somewhere else.

[@martiwaterman1437]

WOW, WOW, WOW. Everyone watching who knows NYC apartments is watching this tour in awe with a dropped jaw. $2300 IS iNCREDIBLE! I grew up in Crown Heights and this apartment is the only time I've ever considered moving back.

[@BaDazai]

That's such a spacious place for NY and for that price too. I'm used to seeing over priced shoe-box-sized NY apartment tours. Loving he traditional style of her place and absolutely love her vibe! She's so gorgeous 😍

[@rmonson5002]

Agreed. I thought this was going to be a tour of one bedroom studio in a cool old Victorian building. But then it was so spacious with those pocket doors and all that architectural detail and those amazing high ceilings. And the original shutters in that beautiful bay window? Damn. I am a peanut butter and jealous sammich! And you're right she's adorable and amazing too. My new favorite tour!

[@adrianprestell]

That’s Manhattan. Brooklyn you get a lot space for your money.

[@shalonsmith3653]

Brooklyn you get more space. Bronx even more space.

[@AM-pr5hl]

@@adrianprestell I would say you get MORE space for your money in Brooklyn but this looks like an at least 1000 sq ft space and Crown Heights is a cool part of BK. This place would go for 3k or more and that's just for the square footage. Could easily be $4k because of the solid wood detailing and crown modeling. This is a deal of a lifetime of an apartment.

[@precooked-bacon]

@@AM-pr5hl i agree, in this market her place is 3K minimum

[@deekydan]

What's weird is I can imagine getting dressed in this apt for a night out, then coming home to this loveliness. She has such a BEAUTIFUL space and those original details, wow.. Go girl

[@JohnWilsonComicsGuy]

Her place is enormous, ornate, and so well laid out and designed. I've rarely been jealous of someone's NYC apartment but I definitely am of this one.

[@Myraisins1]

This is what old school apartments looked like in NYC before they are gut renovated and chopped up into three apartments.

[@tylerbhumphries]

The apartment was beautiful. I’m so glad some developer didn’t come through and gut everything. And I love how her modern style fits so well with all of the built-ins. Everything about the place was beautiful.

[@carolesposto9802]

Most beautiful apartment I ever saw. The craftsmanship was remarkable. The window shutters and library are my favorite. The young lady's decorating was so respectful to such a beautiful space.

[@Waldineportelus]

This tour felt like a warm hug You go girl ✨

[@listed]

Waldine, check out our other Creating Spaces episodes for more warm hugs!

[@OkaayYall]

The art, the detail, the structure. One of the most beautiful home tours I’ve seen. The aesthetics are really pleasing and I just love her style.

[@listed]

We're so happy you love it, Lucy!

[@PapayaSociety]

OMG! This is stunning! I'm loving every bit of this video. The vibe, her style, the original wood details in the space...all of it is perfection.

We're so glad you love it! Be sure to subscribe for more beautiful home inspiration :)

[@ramonawilliams9305]

The woodwork in your apartment is absolutely breathtaking

[@auroraborealis13579]

Absolutely! I’m shook. 😮

[@hadeev]

Wow Naj! This is the neverending space! Your kitchen is bigger than a lot of NYC studio apartments. I love how you married old collectibles with modern, everyday items. What an elegant, yet cozy, home.

[@barbarawillis5187]

The huge cabinet and pocket doors are very beautiful. I love the high ceilings and the real kitchen room. Naj decorates in a very personal and beautiful way.

[@patriciagrant4913]

I love this apartment! It reminds of the apartment I grew up in, Bushwick Brooklyn. A life time ago. The apartment was huge with high ceilings like this and beautiful shutters on the windows. This brings back so many great childhood memories. Thanks for sharing.

[@listed]

Bushwick forever

[@sarahgreer9511]

This might just be my favorite apartment I have ever seen. What a dream space!

[@listed]

Sarah, we agree this is definitely apartment goals! Check out our other videos for more inspiration :)

[@Teetee554]

I enjoy watching apartment tours, I have to say this by far is beautiful. The detail and character of this apartment speaks for itself.

[@MichaelJacksonzGlove]

I know. I love all the wood.

[@brockmccaw4259]

It's super nice. Quick question tho what's up with all the random black people in all the pictures and stuff

[@JustJamera]

The artwork! The original wood details! The shutters! The vibes! I am obsessed with how Naj designed this space and feel so inspired to do the same of acquiring pieces that I love and speak to me.

[@noble604]

Yes! Artwork by Kadir Nelson alone. Beautiful

[@hummersd]

GORGEOUS!!! 👏 The woodwork, the personality of Naj's interior design, and that bedroom -- yes, that light is amazing! Can't believe it's only $2300 for the amount of space!

[@amandajohnson4428]

Absolutely loved Naj’s home. It seems so warm and inviting. She’s beautiful and has a warm spirit and vibe!

[@listed]

Amanda, we couldn't agree more!

[@hotelierid9029]

Love every space in her apartment. From the library, kitchen, bedroom...very cozy and it also feels so huge, can fit a family in it.

[@j_gum]

The dragons!!! This apartment is incredible. All the space, all the light, all the wood!

[@jm2307]

This place is stunning. Brings me back to my childhood. Those walls have so much rich history & she’s clearly adding to it with her unique style

[@listed]

Any place with rich history and character is of interest to us. We love making you these videos!

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

she has a really dry sense of humor and i appreciate that.

[@user-yp6nj4ib7t]

The woodwork in the home is incredibly beautiful. The doors, the shutters, everything just beautiful. You are such a fortunate lady to have such amazing vintage details in your home . Luv it!

[@Bostonlocs]

One of the most beautiful NYC apartments I've seen, both architecturally and by Naj's design. Gorgeous.

[@dancingbetweenus]

She seems very down to earth. This place is stylish but homey at the same time, good for the eyes but also with personal and very functional pieces.

[@angelwitprblmz]

without a doubt one of the most beautiful apartments I've ever seen. Not only the bones but the way she has it decorated, it's trendy but also so personal so it's a good balance. Go off

[@aviajarehema7393]

Very nice brownstone apartment with vintage features!

[@felicias5765]

I absolutely loved her apartment tour, this apartment layout, size, wood trim and doors reminds me of the Brooklyn Brownstone apartments I remember as a child.....Definitely alot of older homeowners still have their brownstone kept this way.....her artistic and decor style meshes well with the space....

[@SharpieDarlingLLC]

The details in this apartment is amazing. I would love to find a home with such character and so many unique hidden treasures. The shutters were my favorite.

[@LovinglfDesigns]

That fireplace is everything. The warm wood tones juxtaposed with the plants and artwork are beautiful.

[@amandafaries5474]

This is one of the best apartments I’ve ever seen in NYC. Most of them are renovated the same way… all white, gold accents. This one has so much character

[@listed]

couldn't agree more 🙌

[@MoreniKtheArtist]

This is so luxurious, rich and warm.. a cosy space with high ceilings art, plants... it’s so meaningfully curated and intentionally lived-in. And the book shelf in the entrance. I’m in love 😍

[@jeanneewaseck6635]

This space is LUSCIOUS! because of alll that wood (that library!!!) and allll the windows!

[@ziggie.x]

whoever chose the music for this video did a really good job at placing the music at the right portions of the video. Really set the tone perfectly

[@lucydaisyandme]

I love the wood and the different inlays.

[@L_R..]

I love her admiration for art and how she incorporated her style in her apartment. Overall love her vibe, energy and personality 🙌🏾🙌🏾🥰

[@discogoth]

This has to be the most beautiful, warm, inviting apartment I’ve seen. It’s absolutely beyond amazing, but the tenant somehow even outshines the apartment.

[@racheledwards4884]

Wait, what? "The no tech room" is a room where you do conference calls? I don't understand. Your space is literally the most beautiful spaces I've seen. You did a phenomenal job.

[@skankygaga]

was looking for this comment lmao

[@mimiwilliams7281]

I literally stopped the video to come searching for these comments. I thought that I was hearing things. 😮

[@chrish.5700]

Haha thought the same.

[@princeblack4122]

I like when peoples creativity, personality, imagination and thoughts shows in their living space.

[@--ag]

I forgot how beautiful brownstones are. The woodwork, high ceilings and spaciousness. Thank you for posting this!

[@Bellasand45]

What a charming apartment.!! You are correct about overwatering your plant, the leaves are getting yellow.

[@jhobbs05]

Love how you decorated your space along with the details in your home. Very spacious. If I lived in NY, I would want something like that.

[@fransinia.4675]

this place is beautiful, the decor is impeccable, the preservation of details is heart warming

[@aeriaj.6155]

This place is dream and a gem! It’s the light shining through for me I would never leave the house.✨💕🙏🏾

[@emmyems5171]

Her place is amazing!!! Beautifully decorated, a mix of historical and modern 💕

[@Cloudss9]

The architecture of this home is absolutely stunning!! Would love to live in such a beautiful space. Absolutely amazing details throughout.

[@linetterios]

Perfection. It's warm, edgy, homey, fun and you can tell it's full of love. I would never leave.

[@karrien.7649]

The most amazing apartment! The gorgeous, detailed woodwork, huge space, high ceilings, and light is to die for. Naj, I wish you'd tell us how you're paying so little for that beauty! :-)

[@sjcme-5322]

This is the most beautiful apartment I've ever seen! And it's only enhanced by her incredible style and taste. Egh. I'm in love!

[@UnpopularOpinionByNkiruka]

This is a dream home! So well decorated and the lay out is absolutely amazing! What a sanctuary!!!!

[@Iman-iy7gc]

manifesting a place like this, full of light, art, books, plants and love!!

[@Orchid_1026]

Daughter is one block from me in Crown Heights so she is super close to where I live. I'm still amazed that she was able to find that great apartment for that price.

[@RockSolid1023]

Beautiful Architecture. The quality and craftmanship is classic old New York. These types of apartments are super hard to find. What a gem!

[@Cooqquu]

When I think brownstone NY living, THIS IS IT. What a beautiful space, she did a stellar job at making a home❤

[@akiliarivera6467]

I used to live in Bedstuy ( Brooklyn ) and the Brownstones are gorgeous and historical, and only 6 years ago I paid 1350 for the exact apartment. Your home is is beautiful.

[@simonachen18]

Could you please share me the name of the apartment? It is so beautiful.

[@cheekyoziechick]

I love how she appreciates the architecture. Her space is very relaxing.

[@robinmp8300]

THAT WOOD!!! THAT FLOOR!!! I have never even seen an apartment that gorgeous! wow!

[@kryssp0]

Great apartment and design. Giving updated 'Living Single' tv show vibes.

[@josephinebournes8212]

Yes, I see it, definitely in the kitchen!!!

[@lovejones92]

I really enjoyed this! This apartment wasn’t put together to look super fancy like how some people decorate their homes. She really made sure to embody who she is and what she loves in this apartment and all together it screams NY which is a vibe!

[@MTMF.london]

She doesn't need to make it fancy - the apartment has gorgeous original wood paneled doors, shuttered windows and ornate carved fireplace - it's more than enough.

[@ctrlaltcreate3827]

It not being modernized makes it look presidential haha

[@iamtenrose7479]

My god. The best 1 bedroom apartment I have seen ever!

[@RMwangi37]

Your 'Sitting Room' would totally be my yoga room. Gorgeous house Naj, thanks for sharing.

[@stacyj1521]

There's not one thing I disliked about this apartment. I loved everything! Loved the apartment's detail as well as the way she decorated it! Absolutely beautiful!!!

[@BlweLotus]

This house is amazing but this queen is EVERYTHING.

[@themuzz351]

WOW !!!! Gorgeous place and fortunately she has been able to fill it with so many precious pieces of art - She's blessed!

[@stephaniescott314]

Absolutely the most welcoming and peaceful apartment I love her vibe. Beautiful.

[@shannondennard5687]

Just discovered this channel and I'm excited to dive into your content. Just a thought after watching this particular video - if the rent rate is being mentioned, and there is an obvious "deal" going on, perhaps have the renter can share how they got the rate. A non-NYer viewing this video might otherwise get very misguided about what $2,300 can get them in the city.

[@monicaivy2497]

Love, love, love your home and layout. Such character in the wood, glad it wasn't painted over. Love how what would be a living room in some spaces is your bedroom with tons of natural lighting. AWESOME!! 💯

[@IronFlowerZ]

Simply beautiful in style and the wood details. She brought the Brownstone into it's glory.

[@debbiegoble9836]

You live in a mansion. This is one of the best apartments I have ever seen. In your kitchen there is a picture that's behind your sink, It is a beautiful. A very moving and touching picture. Love it.

[@peacepocket]

I live in New York, It’s extremely hard to believe this apartment is $2300 per month in Brooklyn. NO WAY!!! There has to be a catch. For $2300 in NY you’re lucky if you can get a tiny 1 bedroom in a bad neighborhood. Beautiful place!!

[@roswilliams7203]

I agree....maybe a relative connection.

[@OddWeird461]

Beautiful home! The architectural details that have been preserved are amazing and her decor and art are icing on the cake. Well done.

[@stephanied4863]

This is my absolute favorite!! I've always loved brownstones and would love to live in one one day.

[@GiftsAndGratitude]

Yes! This living and learning place definitely exudes Brooklyn Brownstone. There’s nothing like them in all of NYC. Magnifique!

[@largirl123]

wow brownstones are truly pieces of art as a whole

[@Fitflyfellow]

Love Naj and what’s she’s doing in the world! Her brownstone is super dope and makes me realize I need more plants!

[@sandygentle94]

This just blew my mind i enjoy watching Brown stone apartments in Brooklyn because it reminds me of when i moved to the US from (Honduras )when i was 11 years...this is the exact apartment i lived in im now 30 this made my day. It really is an amazing space 😊😊 I ❤ BK

BK is the best!

[@deneshae4494]

Everything about this apartment has me swooning..including the way she’s given it her own personal stamp. LOVE IT!!!!

[@LeighBuh]

Love. Love. Love. The doors and the SHUTTERS are everything!!! A dream 😴

[@Tadams1987]

Probably the dopest apt I've seen. Super charismatic and strong historic vibes. Ugh... I'd definitely THRIVE in that space!

[@csaltz]

$2300!!! i could cry. and wow so beautifully designed. bravo!

I would have definitely made the sitting room into a closet but what she did is way more serene! love the space.

[@garimagupta908]

The most beautiful apartment ever! So elegant and classy.

Update: OMG Naj didn't mention she's also the founder and CEO of Ethel's club. Okay period

[@meekyw.4010]

Congratulations Naj, your home is beautiful! My favorite spaces were the entire house! Not sure if you're renting, leasing or own, but whatever it is based on these comments hold onto it😊

Absolutely stunning apartment!!! Inspiring. The cool wooden blinds for the bedroom windows are so neat, special and beautiful, I feel like it’s quite rare to see those

[@cocot9414]

I love her apartment. I especially love the beautiful wood work.

She has the best deal in New York, and hasn't taken an inch of that apt for granted.
