Description

Welcome to 2F at 96 Schermerhorn Street, an approximately 600 square foot one-bedroom in prime Downtown Brooklyn, in a classic Art Deco prewar coop.

The apartment opens into a welcoming entry foyer with a large closet fitted with custom organization built-ins. A galley kitchen sits just off the entry, outfitted with sage green cabinetry, a gas range, Monogram dishwasher, and LG refrigerator, and opens through a breakfast bar to the main living space. The living and dining area is anchored by beautiful beamed ceilings and warm hardwood floors. A north-facing window overlooks the Transit Museum, filling the room with reflective light throughout the day. A built-in dining nook beside the window seats four comfortably and offers clever storage below, one of several smart design touches throughout the home. The generous layout leaves plenty of room for a dedicated work-from-home setup.

The bedroom is generously proportioned, with plenty of room for a king-sized bed and your furniture. A built-in closet system maximizes storage, and remote-control blackout shades make for restful nights.

The bathroom is pristine, with clean vertical subway tile, a deep triple mirrored medicine cabinet set flush into the wall, and a secondary cabinet near the entrance. Hallway linen storage keeps essentials close.

Thoughtful details continue throughout: light dimmers in every room, dual PTAC cooling units that keep windows clear, and a laundry room around the corner from your front door.

96 Schermerhorn is a full-service co-op with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, two elevators, bike storage, and basement storage (waitlist). The location is exceptional, situated where Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Boerum Hill converge, with 10 subway lines within blocks and Long Island Railroad service at nearby Atlantic Terminal. Trader Joe's, Sahadi's, and the restaurants and shops of Atlantic Avenue, Smith Street, and Court Street are right outside your door. Barclays Center, home to the Nets, the Liberty, and a year-round calendar of concerts and events, is a short distance away, as are Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

If you're looking for a true full-sized one-bedroom in the heart of Brooklyn, this is your next home!
