Description

Serene, spacious, and impeccably renovated, this converted 2-bedroom (legal 1-bedroom) home is in a coveted full-service Art Deco elevator/doorman building on Plaza Street. Corner exposures bathe the space in natural light, while the home effortlessly blends pre-war charm with modern design and functionality.

A gracious dining room with two large closets opens into an expansive living room that includes a flexible room, currently used as a nursery, with a glass transom for added light. The windowed kitchen—gut renovated in 2022—is thoughtfully appointed with a breakfast bar, custom push-touch white cabinetry, sleek stone countertops, stainless steel Thermador appliances (including a built-in microwave and dishwasher), and a stylish tile backsplash.

Down a private hallway, the king-size primary bedroom features wraparound corner windows and excellent light. The spacious, windowed bathroom offers a spa-like retreat with elegant tiling, custom niches, a separate soaking tub, and a rain shower.

In 2022, the entire apartment was refreshed with refinished plaster walls and a full repaint, along with the installation of new crown molding and baseboards. A custom Elfa closet system was added to the hall closet for smart, streamlined storage. Throughout the home, high ceilings, elegant architectural curves, and original inlaid parquet and hardwood floors—carefully repaired and refinished—add warmth and character. Contemporary lighting, top-down/bottom-up window shades, and hardware round out this move-in ready home.

20 Plaza Street East is one of Prospect Heights’ premier addresses. This distinguished Art Deco building offers a professionally landscaped circular courtyard and a grand attended lobby with full-time concierge service. Amenities include a renovated 24/7 laundry room with a lending library, a children’s playroom/lounge, bike storage, private storage, Fios or Optimum internet options, and an exceptional live-in super who has served the building since 2003.

Ideally located across from the 2/3 trains at Grand Army Plaza and just blocks from the B/Q at 7th Avenue, the home is surrounded by top-tier dining, boutiques, cafes, and grocery stores, including Union Market. You’re moments from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden, Central Library, and the weekend Greenmarket. Parking and Zipcars are also available nearby in the Richard Meier building.

A rare and exceptional place to call home.
