Property Details
Description
This pristine Fort Greene coop unit has been owned and renovated by an Architectural Digest-featured Interior Designer. With both aesthetics and efficiency in mind, no detail has been overlooked. Two exposures and a multitude of windows make for a bright & sunny living space with treetop views. The spacious living area provides enough room for a separate dining area, and includes a tucked-away storage closet, which, like all of the closets in the home, is fitted with an Elfa organizing system.
The bright, well-designed kitchen features under cabinet lighting, an extra-deep sink, a Multi-Pure water filter, Bosch dishwasher, fridge, electric oven and vented hood, and Miele gas cooktop. Storage is maximized with double-deep, soft-closing drawers. Counters & backsplash are marble, and there's a cute breakfast bar for two.
Both bedrooms are good-sized with ample closets that are equipped with Elfa systems and Artemide lighting (which turns on when you open the door). The bathroom has been newly remodeled to include radiant floor heating, a soaking tub, a hand shower, and a vented Whisperlite fan. The full-sized LG washer and vented gas dryer are conveniently located just outside the bath. Additional features include recessed lighting, Lutron dimmers, and Nest smoke alarms.
This very well-run and friendly coop has a pleasant front garden, free bike storage, and storage cages for a nominal fee. Best of all, this apartment is located in the true heart of Fort Greene, with its abundant shops & restaurants, Saturday Farmer's Market, fabulous Fort Greene Park, and access to multiple subway lines and Downtown Brooklyn!
