Family of 4 Shares a 1 Bedroom NYC apartment, With Grace & Charm

Video Description

Name: Khrystyne & Nic Jaspers Location: Washington Heights, New York City Size: 700 SQ FT Type of Home: 1 Bedroom, owners Years Lived In: Since 2020 https://www.instagram.com/khrystynejaspers/ https://msha.ke/khrystynejaspers In 2020 Khrystyne & Nic Jaspers were in the market for a larger apartment, expecting that their family of three would soon grow to four. They were open to a variety of layouts and originally hoped for a two bedroom, but once they saw the spacious kitchen, ample daylight, and generous living room this one-bedroom (700 square foot) apartment felt like the right home. It was priced at $380k, so they purchased and put down roots in the uptown neighborhood. Both Khrystyne and Nic are educators; additionally, Khrystyne is an entrepreneur, working as a business consultant and personal consultant coaching families "through their space jams." She knows a thing or two about what makes a small home also a happy, healthy and beautiful home where kids and adults can learn, play and truly thrive. Being in their home, you immediately recognize that creative experiences are valued. Materials and cherished items have a place, but they primarily point to meaningful stories and lived experiences. What makes their one-bedroom functional (and enjoyable) for their family of four is the spacious private bedroom reserved for their two children and the ability to turn their living room into an adult haven after the kids go to bed. Their sturdy Murphy bed by Breda Beds folds up, leaving a minimal footprint that allows for maximum floorspace in the living room during the day. Every item in the living room is there with a purpose; everything that is left out is something both her and her husband use and enjoy. Clutter is cleaned up daily and the room is left minimal and tranquil. Other little details we enjoyed– the kid's craft cabinet in the kitchen, the breakfast nook and countertop the couple built, and Khrystyne's trick for keeping belongings on shelves accessible and organized. Check it all out! Thanks, Khrystyne, for opening up your beautiful home to us!
