Name: Jenn Jacobs and Phil Shore
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Size: 625 Sq Ft/58 Sq Meters
Type of Home: Apartment
Years Lived In: 3 Months
For Jenn and Phil, moving in together and curating their first space came with some compromises and challenges, especially renovating and updating the quirks of an apartment in a pre-war building. Luckily, with Phil being the landlord and with help from his Dad, those hurdles were easy to handle. Now, Jenn & Phil both enjoy the fruits of their labor, from the multiple accent walls they've painted to the modern touches added into a place with old bones. Uniquely, their kitchen and bathroom space is shared with other tenants on the same floor. It's all about curating their home according to his fantasies, Phil shares, from lying on the rug, listening to jazz and looking up at his plants, to making breakfast in their kitchen, with the sun coming into the window. This home has helped this couple come closer together, physically and emotionally.

I'm looking at this apartment in horror... yes, they've made cute design choices, etc, but I'm pretty sure for it to be a LEGAL bedroom in NYC, you need a window/means of egress. I don't know, maybe I missed it, but the only window I saw was in the living room. This CLEARLY used to be ONE apartment chopped down into three, all for greed. I'm from Brooklyn but I hate hate hate how homes and apartments have been parceled out, and I really wish folks who come here would stop settling for this. YOU DESERVE WINDOWS! You deserve your own kitchen and bathroom. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

@spirals 73 in bulgaria you can have that for 350, in uganda for 100$. Even north of france can cost 400$, the cheapest regions of spain or portugal. Of even small cities in usa. You can be even more happy if the price is the point. Its cheaper, coz if worse. So easy. You dont have opportunities and cultural and social life like people in ny... i dont get these comments

Lovely home with nice design details. Those who don’t get it, just won’t get it, but you don’t need your own kitchen and bathroom to be “happy”. Certain personalities like to live in certain ways. And certain sacrifices are worth the NY lifestyle you get in return. This shows you truly can make a home out of a very unique space.

Technically it isn't a bedroom. They're just using it as a bedroom. If you look closely they don't even have a physical door to the room. Just a wide archway. It's probably listed as a studio apartment with an office, not a 1 bedroom apartment.

@ Ann Johnson NO fabric is safe. I actually thought my cat didn't do that after spending $700 reupholstering two huge ball in claw chairs with beautiful tapestry material - in the late 1970s. One day, I'm facing in a particular direction and see the entire side of the chair - the tapestry shredded. Oh well. People say they get get scratching poles, covered with material or carpet and that doesn't keep them off the furniture, either. But I think it's also because they smell us there and you know, they love us 🤦🏼‍♀️

Truth. But it's worth it. Years ago we had our first cat declawed. Strangely he had far better manual strength than our other cats over the years.. We had a huge Pakman puppet that he hated. Just for fun my husband would put the puppet on his hand and Bucky would growl. One day Bucky ran over to my husband and whacked the puppet off of his hand. It landed on the other side of the room. That puppet was heavy.

Wow, I Ilve in Williamsburg Brooklyn and was raised in a railroad apartment and I would take any tiny apartment over one where you share a kitchen and bathroom. This reminds me of the turn of the century tenemant apartments where different families shared kitchens and bathrooms. Since the 1960s, my mother still lives in the railroad apartment and it has the original bathtub in the kitchen. I grew up there. I would take a bathtub in the kitchen over sharing anything with strangers, let alone a bathroom. My mother's rent controlled $142/month apartment will pass down to my son as he lives and takes care of her. The landlord could have created apartments with kitchens and bathrooms, but seemed to be too cheap to do it. This apartment seems to be one large apartment that is rented to different people that have their own rooms and share the kitchen and bathroom. This is nothing short of roommates. Being a super, you also get a discount or free rent and most times a salary. Who would strip metal kitchen cabinets if this was not their own c-op/condo if they were not getting paid for it?

Great space! But I can’t imagine sharing a kitchen with two other households. I literally spend probably 80% of my waking “ home hours” in my kitchen! And the shared bathroom? No way!! Glad to leave that arrangement back in the college years😂 However, from the very personal way they talk about the kitchen/bath design choices and the fact he’s the super, it’s clearly more like they have two tenants renting rooms from them--and probably get a much discounted rent for taking it all on! Obvious they “own” the entire space in their own minds😁

LOL. spoiled in tribeca. but i did live in a studio in harlem for 3 years before i was able to buy.

Lens that elongates the space is used. Look and compare any piece of furniture or home feature taken from different angles. You can see how much they're stretched out (ie: couch @1:35 vs @4:14). Unfortunately this is used in these kinds of videos and by realtors to make smaller spaces look more impressive.

Yes, it does. I’m not believing this. I lived in a 600 square foot apartment for 18 years, it looked like it was half the size of their apartment.

@AdrienneMint , I too years ago lived in a 600 foot apartment that looked and felt like 400 when I was stationed in Norfolk, VA while on active duty in the Navy 🤣

I guess the space size does not include the kitchen and the bathroom that are shared?

Nope. Not sharing a kitchen and bathroom. Beautiful area that you all live in but that’s a deal breaker for someone like me who has to use the bathroom frequently.

What? You all have to share a kitchen and bathroom with other apartments???? I cant imagine. Even though the rest is cute I could never do that

Phil's feelings about the closed up fireplace and upper cabinet were humorous. But his hiding behind the bedroom screen, as a third person looking on, was a little creepy 😂

Interesting couple ❤️💕❤️ wish you would repaint your bedroom with an accent wall warm color so avoid it being too white

They probably keep it white because there's no window and inadequate lighting for the room.
