Description

Welcome home to your private garden oasis, in this rarely available condo in Brooklyn Heights. This spacious 1,057 square foot layout is the perfect 2BR for raising a family and entertaining. The custom-designed kitchen, with a solid walnut countertop, fireclay tiles, and island seating, opens right into the dining and living area for ideal flow, whether you're watching your child or entertaining guests. Directly off the living room is your garden patio with upgraded solid wood decking and plenty of space to stretch out with the award-winning Poplar Street garden providing greenery, flowers, and the sound of blue jays and cardinals as a backdrop. Plenty of summer evenings will be spent here with BBQ blazing, drinks in hand, and the good company of New Yorkers trying to change the world. Everything in this home was thoughtfully curated. Closets have been expanded and optimized, thermostats added in every room, and citiquiet windows installed making the bedrooms pindrop quiet. Built in 1880, and converted to condo in the 1980s, 55 Poplar Street has all the modern conveniences you'd want elevator, washer/dryer in unit, and central air with nothing you don't want in a building, keeping monthlies low. The live-in superintendent and staff maintain the building full-time. The backyard contains a private, award-winning common garden with 2 large grills and picnic tables, ideal for summer BBQs. There is a gated parking lot (separately deeded) as well as bike and storage rooms for rent (wait list). Pets allowed. Brooklyn Heights has become arguably the premiere neighborhood in all of Brooklyn. With it's easy access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, multiple subway lines, restaurants lining Henry St and Montague, attractions of Dumbo, schools, and proximity to Manhattan, it is no wonder that the long-term fundamentals of this neighborhood are so strong.
