Description

Finally! This crisp, bright and very spacious two bedroom home in Brooklyn is the one you've been dreaming about. Upon entering, a gracious foyer leads to a sprawling 28' x 12' living and dining space with more than ample room for your #WFH sessions, and it cheerfully looks out on to some sweet tree-lined Brooklyn backyards. If you enjoy cooking (and even if you don't) you'll flip for the roomy, windowed kitchen with stainless steel appliances...ideal for cheffing up incredible meals with ease. Heading to the west side of the home (and who doesn't love a split bedroom set-up) you'll be sure to mutter under your breath, 'Now THIS is a proper main bedroom!' There's plenty of room for a king size bed, dressers, yet another home office space and two big closets provide tons of storage for even the most diehard clotheshorse. The second bedroom is located on the other side of the apartment on the building's corner, so in addition to it's generous size it also enjoys terrifically sunny double exposures. There's a clean, tasteful black and white subway tiled bathroom with tub and shower and dedicated linen closet across the hall, and through wall AC in every room. 599 East 7th Street is a handsome full-service elevator and doorman cooperative with newly renovated hallways, a central laundry, courtyard, bike storage and even an in-building PARKING garage! Smack dab in the middle of the thriving neighborhood of Kensington, with easy access to the F/Q as well as the Express bus to the financial district/midtown, and of course all the terrific food and shopping on both Church and Cortelyou. Don't dare contemplate a move to the suburbs when you can have all the wonderful space you need and the beauty of Brooklyn. Make Apartment 1J yours today! PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A "NO PETS" BUILDING.

Kensington is a residential Brooklyn neighborhood bordered by Prospect Park to the north and the landmarked Green-Wood Cemetery to the west, with Ocean Parkway running through its center as one of the borough's signature tree-lined boulevards. The housing stock includes brick rowhouses, prewar co-op apartment buildings along Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue, and detached Victorian homes on the side streets, served by the F and G trains at Fort Hamilton Parkway and Church Avenue. The B and Q express trains are accessible within a short walk, providing a 30-to-35-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan.
