Description

BEST LOCATION!!!! LARGE 1 Bedroom SUN FILLED apartment is in a well maintained, pre-war co-op on one of the best blocks in PRIME PROSPECT HEIGHTS! This apartment is unique in the fact that it has it's own pvt entrance (set back) on Butler Place, which is a small, very quiet tree lined street just off Grand Army Plaza and literally, just a few short blocks to Prospect Park, Grand Army Plaza and the 2,3,Q,B express trains. Can't ask for a better location!!!The SPACIOUS corner apartment receives direct east and south sunlight all day and has an outdoor area (app 4' x 30') in front of the apartment that can be used for those with a Green Thumb or simply to relax, read and sun. At appx. 700 SF, this bright apartment has high ceilings, hardwood floors, a large, windowed kitchen, oversized bathroom, nice sized sunny bedroom, excellent closet space, a full sized WASHER/DRYER and also comes with a HUGE 8' high x 6' pvt storage bin! (Kitchen & bath can use up-dating)This 21 unit building is similar in design to the Flatiron Building in Manhattan and has a liberal sublet policy. Just around the block to the #2,3,Q,B express trains as well as the main entrance to Prospect Park, The Botanic Gardens, the Brooklyn Library, Farmers Market and Grand Army Plaza. Park Slope shops, the food co-op and loads of restaurants and coffee shops are also just a few blocks away. Pets are very welcome!
