Description

The rare inclusion of a private parking space highlights this light and airy 2 Bedroom Duplex Loft. A classic architectural gem veers eclectic. Enter the main floor where the spacious living area gazes out onto the landscaped common garden. The soaring 10 foot windows and towering 13 foot ceilings are signatures of this coop. The kitchen has ample storage and an expanse of counter space. There's also a convenient 1/2 bath and a washer/dryer. The mezzanine above has even more fabulous storage. On the level below are the two generous bedrooms, a foyer and full bath.

This magnificent elevator building is a stirring sight to behold. With its award-winning restoration, this Neo-Renaissance former school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. James W. Naughton, "Master of Brooklyn School Architecture", completed his creation in 1895. Located just off of Grand Army Plaza in prime Prospect Heights. You have immediate access to the exciting shops and restaurants along Vanderbilt Avenue. Enjoy the close proximity to the 2 & 3 and the Q & B trains as well as the Saturday farmer's market, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, the cultural happenings at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Public Library. Pet friendly.
