Description

It may seem too good to be true, but this one checks all the boxes: a spacious 2-bedroom 1 bathroom co-op in a full-service building with standout amenities-and it's move-in ready.

Welcome to 1655 Flatbush Avenue, also known as the Phillip Howard building, a mid-century modern gem located just blocks from Brooklyn College. This high-floor apartment offers wide, open views, three exposures, and a thoughtful, functional layout. The expansive living room connects to a separate dining or flex space, while a closet-lined hallway leads to two large rear-facing bedrooms, providing a comfortable separation between entertaining and sleeping areas.

In total, the apartment features seven spacious closets, offering exceptional storage rarely found in newer construction. Freshly updated throughout, the home showcases new wood-look luxury vinyl flooring and crisp white walls, blending modern finishes with the generous proportions of classic mid-century design.

The renovated kitchen includes a full suite of Frigidaire Gallery stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, quartz countertops, and shaker-style cabinetry that offers both elegance and functionality. The bathroom has been outfitted with modern hexagon tile floors and large-format tiled walls, a new vanity and medicine cabinet, and a freshly reglazed tub. To ensure year-round comfort, new LG through-the-wall air conditioning units have been installed in both the primary bedroom and dining/flex room.

What truly sets this home apart is the building itself. The Phillip Howard is a full-service co-op offering 24/7 door attendants, a live-in super, and a dedicated porter staff. Amenities include a sprawling outdoor Olympic-sized pool, a private playground, two modern laundry rooms, a fine arts museum, and plans to revitalize the building's expansive garden. Additional conveniences include a circular driveway for easy pick-up and drop-off, two personal storage facilities, an in-building parking garage (waitlist), and upcoming bike storage.

The neighborhood offers incredible everyday convenience, with Target, HomeGoods, and Aldi grocery store located just across the street. Starbucks and Brooklyn College-including access to its athletic facilities-are nearby, and commuting is a breeze with the 2 and 5 trains just two blocks away. Riis Beach is only a 20-minute drive for a quick summer escape.

Please note: pets are not allowed at 1655 Flatbush.

Don't miss your chance to enjoy this rare combination of modern upgrades, timeless space, and resort-style living-just in time for summer.
