Property Details
Description
Gracious in every way, this extra large 1 bedroom has a place for it all - a huge living room, large bedroom, new kitchen with a separate windowed dining room and a large foyer perfect for your home office. The kitchen is all new with white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances including a DW & Microwave, abundant quartz counters to do some real cooking and also features a window with bright natural light from it's eastern exposure and subway backsplash. The kitchen has been opened up a bit for a more natural flow into the separate dining space that also has an eastern facing window.
This high floor unit brings in plenty of natural light any time of day from it's eastern and treetop western views.
The bath is new and neutral, with subway tile shower surround, reglazed tub, a new vanity and fixtures. The master bedroom can easily fit a king-sized bed and much more. There are hardwood floors throughout and an abundance of storage. This unit is a must see!
This well-maintained elevator building has strong financials and a large owner occupancy, live-in super, central laundry, bike room and additional storage (waitlisted, $40 per month), and an indoor garage (wait-listed). Just a short walk to the weekly Farmer's market and shopping on Cortelyou Road, and the many Ditmas Park restaurants and bars. Prospect Park is not far away and you are minutes from Q train on Cortelyou Road, F train Ditmas Avenue stop, and Express Bus service to Manhattan. This building is Cat Friendly, sorry no dogs.
