Description

Bright, airy charm and original detail characterize this spacious, fully renovated, one-bedroom apartment in the heart of tree-lined Brooklyn Heights. Upon entering residence 54, you are greeted by an extremely wide foyer, complete with large entry closets. The well-appointed open living area offers a flexible layout with plenty of space for living, working at home, and dining. Three oversized west-facing windows bring in an abundance of light throughout the day in the open living space. Appreciate the treetop vistas of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District and endless sky in this 5th floor apartment. The renovated kitchen is outfitted with ample custom storage drawers, cabinets and complimented with granite countertops. The kitchen also boasts a Bosch dishwasher, a professional-grade Bertazzoni oven, and a Fisher-Paykel refrigerator. The peninsula has seating for two and offers ample counterspace for cooking and entertaining. The oversized bedroom has large windows facing south and west with additional storage space. The classically renovated bath has bright light, tiled walls, marbled vanity, an original leaded glass window, updated tile floors, and fresh paint.

The Colonial is a neoclassical, financially sound, well run, pet friendly, elevator building with very low maintenance. There is also a fantastic live-in super, central laundry, private storage, and bike storage. A block and a half from 5 different subway lines (2,3,4,5, R), Citi Bike docks, and a short stroll to all the businesses of Montague Street, Atlantic Avenue, Smith Street, and Court Street, the location could not be more convenient. Brooklyn Bridge Park is also two minutes from your front door, along with the promenade which provides unparalleled panoramic vistas of the Manhattan Skyline.
