Description

Overlooking historic Ocean Parkway this expansive, open, fully updated two bedroom, two bathroom apartment with outdoor space, zoned for one of Brooklyn's highest performing schools is perfectly located. The apartment provides easy access to the F, Q, and B subway lines and is only a short distance away from Cortelyou Road's restaurants and shops, including The Farm, Cafe Madeline, Sycamore (Brooklyn's only combination bar/flower shop!), and Mimi's (best hummus in the city, according to the Times). No details were left out in designing this modern but classic kitchen, featuring custom soft-close cherry cabinetry, top-of-the-line Bosch and Samsung stainless steel appliances, an oversized Franke fireclay farmhouse sink, stunning milky gray Brazilian quartzite countertops, a herringbone slate tile floor, Schoolhouse Electric brass hardware, reclaimed Hudson Valley open shelving, subway tile backsplash, and wood-and-concrete pendants that complement recessed overhead lighting. During the extensive renovations the kitchen was opened to the main living and dining area, making this a warm, modern space perfect for entertaining. The two stunning full bathrooms are completely renovated, with Toto toilets, Hansgrohe plumbing fixtures, gleaming white vanities and marble tile. The main bathroom features a custom tub filler with hand shower diverter - perfect for bath time! The apartment sports beautifully refinished original oak parquet flooring, updated overhead lighting, and a large private terrace that overlooks Ocean Parkway. The building features a renovated lobby, large laundry room, bike room, a part-time doorman (which keeps the maintenance low) and an attached parking garage. Ocean Parkway is one of Brooklyn's oldest and most elegant boulevards. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted - the same landscape architect who laid out Central Park - it features protected running paths and the nation's first dedicated bike path. Watch the Brooklyn half-marathon from your private terrace as it runs along Ocean Parkway, or visit Prospect Park, located less than two miles away. The apartment is zoned for PS 134, which ranked in the top 15% of schools citywide, offers a gifted and talented class in every grade, and received an 'above average' rating on GreatSchools.
