In 2021, Hurricane Ida flooded Alison Beshai's apartment, prompting her to search for a new home. She found a 750-square-foot apartment in Bed Stuy, which she immediately felt connected to due to its open-floor plan and original features. As the founder of the Resource Library, Alison values design and living spaces. She views her apartment as a forever home, emphasizing the importance of creating a personal oasis that evolves over time. Alison has been renting the space since October 1, 2021, and appreciates how it has grown with her.
"When I came to see it the day after it was listed, I knew it was the one. It had an open-floor plan, original molding, windows on every side, and contained a warmth and familiarity that I felt immediately, even when the space was empty."
"Making and settling into a home is very important to me - to feel grounded and have an oasis I can call my own - so I knew I was looking for a forever home and not just a place to rent for a year."
"My favorite thing about making a home is that it grows and changes with you, which this place has definitely done over the past four and a half years."
