Take a tour of this incredible 750-square-foot apartment in Washington Heights, where a family of five lives creatively, comfortably — and completely DIY.

🏠 This 2-bedroom apartment has been passed down through generations. Now, dad (who grew up here himself!) is raising his three sons with his wife Sarah in the same space. From a custom-built triple bunk bed to every square inch of maximized storage, this tour is packed with small-space solutions, personal history, and clever design.

✨ What You'll See:

Smart DIY storage hacks

A hand-built triple bunk bed for the kids

How one family makes multigenerational living work in NYC

Space-saving ideas perfect for renters & families

This isn’t just a home — it’s a story of love, legacy, and living large in small spaces.

📍 Located in Washington Heights, NYC

This 750-square-foot, two-bedroom apartment transformed from a space Sarah Almodovar was not interested in to a dream home for herself, her husband (and DIY extraordinaire) Peterson, and their kids, ages 1, 3, and 5. "When Peterson first suggested moving into his childhood apartment, I was hesitant — honestly it was a cockroach-ridden bachelor pad that hadn't been maintained in years," says Sarah.
