Unfortunate staging aside, this $2,335/month Williamsburg studio has all the extras

We realize that at present, living in this apartment appears to involve sleeping in your kitchen (i.e. rolling out of bed and coming face-to-face with your oven or sipping a glass of wine where you'd expect to get dressed in the morning). But misguided staging aside, we think that this $2,335/month Williamsburg studio is a solid example of what single-room living can offer.
Enlarge the kitchen with a counter (plenty of portable options exist), move the bed closer to the window, and voila! You've got a studio with two distinct "rooms."
The rental is in the Garnett, one of those chock-full-of-amenities condo buildings, with a doorman, roof deck, gym, bike room, garage and even a pool table, located at 146 South Fourth Street. According to the building's own description, "repurposed timber takes residents away from the every-day life of New York City." Who doesn't want a bit of repurposed timber in their lives?
Plus, when you're renting a studio, it's often practical to spring for a building with a lot of extras, so you don't get claustrophobic within your four walls (which, let's face it, probably won't be able to accommodate a pool table).
Now, back to the apartment itself. It's got modern kitchen appliances we've come to expect in high-end condos, and the bathroom looks clean and up to date, too. (We also like the storage under the sink and on those little built-in shelves.)
Plus, it's got the ever popular wall of windows. To make a studio feel less like a jail cell, light and views are essential. This place seems to have both.
