607 Jefferson Avenue, TH (Compass)

At a time when many New Yorkers have been sheltering in place in white-box apartments for weeks, it can be tempting to escape to a rustic cabin in the woods for the Memorial Day weekend. Travel and budgetary restrictions may not allow that for some; however, the following apartments bring natural elements like exposed brick and wood beams into an urban environment for the best of both worlds. Moreover, virtual tours for several units allow for short getaways without leaving home.
