Description

Welcome Home!
This oversized 1 bedroom apartment is one you'll definitely want to entertain in. Boasting an almost 22' x 22' open concept living/dining area, this unit has lots of flexibility for however you wish to live. There is plenty of space for a large living room, a large dining table/area, and generous landing space at the front door which is also equipped with a large coat closet. An updated modern kitchen is delineated with a kitchen island which hosts a few stools and extra storage. For those so inclined, a home study could also easily be carved out of this gracious floor plan.
Unit 1T is on the 2nd floor, one flight up from the lobby/ground floor, facing the quiet backside of the building with eastern exposures. The modern kitchen features stainless appliances including a dishwasher and over the range microwave. The shaker style cabinetry offers lots of storage and coupled with the white quartz counters, add a timeless appeal to this beautifully renovated kitchen. Feeling completely separate from the living space, you'll need enter the hall and pass two closets, a linen and one a large walk-in, and the bathroom to reach the a large bedroom. The bedroom has room for a king size bed and much more, including yes- more closets, that span the entire width of the room. The bathroom is in good shape, in a neutral tile and outfitted with an exhaust and heat lamp.
The entire unit has original parquet wood floors, newer easy clean windows and through wall AC units. The coop over many years has completed most of their capital upgrades such as a new roof, new windows, new boiler and has just finished its Local Law 11 work.

This coop has been approved through National Valley Bank for first time homebuyers to receive what is currently a 5.75% mortgage interest rate.

515 East 7th St. is The Manchester, a 123 unit building built in 1961. It was converted to a Coop in 1986.

Conveniently located partially on Cortelyou Rd, it is just 3 blocks from the ever popular Ditmas Park Commercial Strip of shops and a weekend farmers market. It is just a short walk to Prospect Park, the commercial strips of Church Ave, Ft. Hamilton, Ditmas Ave & Newkirk, offering an array of the area's best restaurants, cafe's, bars and shopping.
