Description
Looking for a home with enough space to grow into and enjoy for many years to come? Look no further: this truly spacious residence is the one not to be missed. The bright, east-facing living and dining area is exceptionally large and opens directly onto a generously sized, recently renovated balcony - an inviting extension of the living space well suited for outdoor dining and entertaining. Just off the living area is a true eat-in kitchen offering abundant countertop space, generous cabinetry, and a dishwasher. The king-sized primary bedroom faces east and features two closets, providing both impressive proportions and excellent storage. The second bedroom is surprisingly spacious as well, with a western exposure and two closets. While some updating and upgrades would enhance the apartment, the highly competitive asking price-not only for Kensington, but also compared with neighboring Ditmas Park and Windsor Terrace-leaves plenty of room to make improvements and create a home that truly reflects your style. 525 Ocean Parkway is a professionally managed elevator building offering a live-in superintendent and porter, a first-floor laundry room, and waitlisted parking garage for $175 per month. Cats and dogs are permitted with prior approval, and unlimited subletting is allowed after two years of ownership. Reasonable monthly maintenance includes real estate taxes and all utilities except electricity. Ideally located just one block from Cortelyou Road at the crossroads of Kensington and Ditmas Park, the building puts popular cafés, restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences within easy reach. Commuting is convenient with both the Q and F trains nearby, along with express bus service on Cortelyou Road. The flip tax is $40 per share and is payable by the seller. In addition, there is a $1,000 transfer fee payable by the buyer and a separate $1,000 transfer fee payable by the seller. If you're searching for a spacious home with tremendous potential in one of Brooklyn's most established and convenient neighborhoods, Apartment 4J is ready to welcome you.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
