"When Celeste Polanco was searching for a new rental apartment in Yonkers, New York, there was a major non-negotiable: windows. "I lived in the Bronx for three years in a room with no windows, so to walk in and see this grand window in the apartment was a huge seller for me," Celeste says of the one-bedroom apartment she eventually moved into."
"Celeste was growing tired of the apartment hunt after four months of looking (she admits it felt more like four years). However, when she came across the space on Apartments.com, she didn't believe it was real until she walked through the door."
"After moving in a year-and-a-half ago, Celeste felt "honored" to make the space her own. She guessed that the previous tenant had a minimal style - which happens to be her preference - and so she wanted to lean into that, letting the details, like the large-scale windows and grand staircase, add the drama. But to Celeste, minimalism doesn't mean boring."
Celeste Polanco prioritized large windows when searching for a Yonkers one-bedroom rental after living in a Bronx room without windows. The apartment's grand window and staircase convinced her to rent after finding the listing on Apartments.com and seeing the space in person. She moved in a year-and-a-half ago and felt honored to make the space her own. She prefers a minimal aesthetic and leaned into the apartment's minimal style while allowing architectural details to provide drama. Celeste emphasizes that minimalism can be dramatic rather than boring. The bedroom color is "Sage Green" with an unknown manufacturer. Responses and photos were edited for length, size, and clarity.
