Description

NEW TO MARKET: the right place, the right space and the right time:181 Dekalb Avenue #A1A2 in prime Fort Greene Brooklyn is a fantastic architect-designed 2 Bedroom/1.5 Bathroom co-op apartment with an in-unit laundry room enhanced by a magnificent private garden oasis with wide-open northwestern all-day light and finished with both a lawn and a flagstone patio. Perfectly located near shopping, restaurants, schools, transportation and just a half block to Fort Greene Park,181 Dekalb Avenue #A1A2 is the apartment you have been waiting for and it will not last long on the market.

Recently remodeled with custom painted finishes by a noted designer, 181 Dekalb Avenue #A1A2 is suffused with all-day light through large windows throughout the apartment and via its southern and garden exposure. From a private, gated ground-floor foyer, the apartment unfolds into an airy open floor plan with ingenious efficiencies like pocket doors and custom built-in storage throughout. Facing south, the large primary bedroom has a custom slider which provides privacy when closed and fabulous light when open along with superlative closet space. It also has noise-reducing windows and custom shades providing either light filtering or full black out. The second bedroom is far from the primary and has ample space for multiple uses, along with a large window to the garden.

The property centers on an open-concept chef's kitchen built around a large island handcrafted of reclaimed wood and there are abundant cabinets, open shelving, Caeserstone countertops and stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, electric range, dishwasher). There is plenty of room to move while cooking and entertaining, which is easy to do with the dedicated dining area with banquette bench storage and open view to the broad, windowed living room.

Speaking of entertaining, the coveted private garden is the piece-de-resistance of 181 Dekalb Avenue #A1A2: 1,232 sf of flagstone pavers, grass, planters and planting beds facing onto a broad expanse of well-tended neighboring backyards that will transport you to faraway rural serenity while still enjoying the convenient amenities of Fort Greene, Brooklyn's most coveted neighborhood.

With split A/C units in the apartment, an actual laundry room with washer/dryer, dedicated storage space in the basement and the glory of Fort Greene (and Fort Greene Park) literally out of your front door, there is no better opportunity in Brooklyn and it is a rare offer at that. Please make an appointment today to see 181 Dekalb Ave A1A2 for yourself with the exclusive listing agent. Cats and Dogs (up to 40lbs) allowed with co-op approval. LOW monthly carrying costs.
