Description
Elegant, bright and spacious, 20 Plaza Street East, Apt E17 is perched on the 5th floor above the tree tops and offers park-adjacent, turnkey, prewar style. The sophisticated design choices, subdued palette, and graceful proportions combine with an abundance of natural light to create a chic and serene living space. This 1+ bedroom features 9-foot ceilings, a fully renovated kitchen and bath, and a bonus bedroom/office/nursery. This apartment boasts 6 ample closets throughout, including a large WIC off the entrance, and beautiful original details like moldings and ribboned parquet/hardwood floors. A massive foyer makes for a gracious entry, lined with built-in bookshelves and flanked by two generous coat closets. The lovely arched doorway leading into the living area is a nod to the Art Deco design era. The spacious living and dining room streams in southern light and overlooks the greenery of Grand Army Plaza and the historic Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch. The corner primary bedroom is a massive king-sized room with ample space for a seating area or work station. Two generously-sized closets are in the bedroom's hallway entry. With two South and East exposures, this room is also sun-filled throughout the day. The beautifully renovated, windowed bathroom features two sinks, a customized double vanity with Ceasarstone countertops, Cifial thermostatic rainshower with handset and body sprays, Duravit tub, and lovely subtly textured Daltile. 20 Plaza Street East is a pet-friendly, prewar Art Deco co-op with an elevator and full-time doorman. There is a large, renovated, and well-maintained laundry room available 24/7, a huge lending library for residents, a children's playroom/lounge, personal storage cages, and bike storage in the basement. The wonderful superintendent lives onsite and has served the building since 2003. In prime Prospect Heights, this apartment is located just one block from the Grand Army Plaza 2/3 trains and a few blocks to the 7th Ave B/Q. Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Central Library are all in arm's reach. This vibrant neighborhood is home to a multitude of shops, eateries, cafes, bars, grocers, butchers, gyms, and more, including Sofreh, Olmstead, Alta Calidad, Dough, Fausto, FAUN, Union Market, Soul Cycle, Crunch and Prospect Butcher Co.
