This Is the Smallest Home You Can Buy In Bed-Stuy

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — While it can be fun to ogle at the Big Apple's biggest, and most extravagant mansions, most New Yorkers are probably in search of something more modest.

Unsurprisingly, in New York City, even the tiniest of finds can come with a pretty big price tag.
