Description

This Loft Style 1 Bedroom + Den + Mezzanine is in a Neo-Renaissance, Landmarked former school house at the Corner of Vanderbilt Ave. in Prospect Heights, steps from Prospect Park and plenty of transportation.

Spacious and elegant, apartment 1A is elevated and feels like the 2nd Floor. The dramatic Living Room has 13 ceilings, wonderful proportions and a triptych of 10 tall windows facing west, which flood the apartment with light. The open kitchen is newly renovated and all appliances are stainless steel.

The master suite, with full bath and closet, is secluded and dreamy with clerestory windows, and privacy from the other spaces. The den is large enough to be a chamber and makes the apt feel like a 2 bedroom. While the main level is 1130 SF, the high ceilings allow for an additional 137 SF mezzanine loft. The second bath houses a side by side washer/dryer in lieu of shower and stackable laundry.

PARKING included! ~ Pets Welcome ~ Elevator Accessibility.
