Description

This two-bedroom condo is a tranquil oasis set amid everything you could possibly want - and more. Situated mid-block, atop a three-unit townhouse, this floor-through attracts light throughout the day, all year round, thanks not only to its southern exposure but also due to the wonderful skylight located above the dining and living room area. Mature trees line the block, providing plenty of cooling shade on those long, hot days, and making summer stoop sessions with neighbors something to look forward to. A brief flight of stairs from the parlor level entry takes you to the apartment where you'll find a bright, open space with plenty of natural light. Exposed brick, blonde hardwood floors, and clean white lines continue throughout the space. The living room provides you with a wonderful open-plan space where the dining and living areas blend seamlessly together. Perfect for entertaining. You'll never miss a beat, whether hosting a dinner party or keeping an eye on little ones as they entertain themselves. The modern, streamlined kitchen features a range of stainless-steel appliances, including a Smeg range, Blomberg refrigerator, and most importantly, a high-efficiency Bosch dishwasher. The northern aspect draws in plenty of light here, thanks to the new, double-pane windows, and open views dominated by blue skies. Adjacent to your living space you'll find a recently renovated bathroom, where clean white lines and blonde wood predominate, and a clever transom window filters natural light. Heading down the brief hallway, you'll find the two bedrooms. The main bedroom is bright and airy, with leafy tree-top views filtering sunlight in all day long, and a spacious walk-in closet provides plenty of hanging space. Adjacent you'll find the secondary bedroom, currently set up as a nursery. It could just as easily become your guest bedroom, office, or home gym. You decide! This wonderful, self-managed condo is pet-friendly and has super low monthlies. You'll find almost everything you could need on nearby Franklin Avenue, while the cafes, restaurants and more, towards Bedford Avenue provide the perfect backup. Subways are found along the A/C line on Fulton or the 2/3 & 4/5 lines on Eastern Parkway. And the quirky elevated S line is less than a block away. Could this be the ideal space for you? Come take a look.
