The Fort Greene neighborhood apartment, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex, is located a few blocks away from the street that was named after the Brooklyn native. 

The current owner of the unit, Carolina Duncan, is a famed costume designer from the award-winning series When They See Us. In 2011, Duncan gut-renovated the home and brought in amenities including walk-through closets, a custom library, a chef’s kitchen, and a wood-burning brick fireplace. 

The iconic apartment was also featured in the documentary Biggie: The Life of Notorious B.I.G.
