Description

Lovely in Lefferts Gardens! Warm and welcoming, apartment 3L at 40 Clarkson Avenue offers space and a wonderful layout with an Elegant Entry Foyer, Dining Area, Eat-in Kitchen, Extra Large Bedroom, and a Bonus Nursery or Office! A beautifully arched living room opening, and south-facing sunlight greet you as you enter apartment 3L. The Living Area is spacious and inviting. A delightful and cleverly-designed Nursery has been carved out of the living room, still keeping grand proportions in the living room, and adding in a sunny, corner nursery. Utilize as a nursery, office, or guest room, or easily convert back to living room. The prized Entry Foyer is equipped with two massive closets that allow you to store all with ease. This versatile space allows for many uses. Easily accommodating a dining area just off of kitchen, this nook is accented with a built-in alcove niche, and storage below to gracefully highlight this seated area, or showcase meaningful pieces. Other pre-war details throughout include high ceilings, beautiful baseboard molding, and original parquet floors with a classic mohagany inlaid border. The Windowed Eat-in Kitchen has recently been updated, includes a dishwasher, and plenty of storage. Timeless school house lighting fixtures have just been installed, complementing the classic wood cabinetry. Remove pantry rack, add in a table and chairs, or a breakfast bar and stools for additional dining options. Quiet and serene, the Oversized Corner Bedroom -- at 20 feet long!, easily allows for a full King Set of furniture, AND also large enough to accommodate a desk/office area. Settle into the cozy south-facing, sunny corner of this bedroom to enjoy a book, or an afternoon catnap. The Windowed Bathroom offers a very pretty classic design with retro black and white mosaic flooring, subway wall tiles and a pedestal sink. This professionally managed, very well-maintained co-op has a live-in super, central laundry, a secure package room in the lobby, storage and bike storage. 2 new elevators have been installed, and the laundry room was completely renovated last year with new machines and updated flooring. A delightful shared building garden is available for owners' use. Bring your furry friend, as pets are welcome at 40 Clarkson Avenue! Located on the border of Historic Prospect Lefferts Gardens and North Flatbush, this excellent location provides easy access to all. 2 short blocks to fabulous Prospect Park!! Close proximity to Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park Zoo, and Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Super convenient for transportation as well, with Express Q train 2 blocks away, and few blocks to B, 2 and 5 trains -- for a quick trip to Manhattan! This historic district is also home to an expanding collection of restaurants bars and shops. This versatile and oversized one bedroom will delight!! ** OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, AUGUST 23rd ~ 12:00 - 1:00.
