Property Details
Description
Location is everything, and here at 280 St John's, you'll find most, if not all of your bases are covered. Set on a particularly wide tree-lined street, just off Grand Army Plaza, blue skies and a leafy outlook are yours to enjoy in this rather efficient 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom co-op. Upon entering the apartment you'll find a gallery hallway that is fitted out with plenty of coat hooks so you can always choose the right layer for the day ahead. The first bedroom which is more generous than most, and the bathroom with tub are located here, making perfect use of the space. Arriving at the living room, you'll be very pleased with the clean lines and natural light coming in from the windows illuminating the dining and lounge areas. Ornate plasterwork frames the ceiling and light fixture, and the light hardwood floors give the space a bright and airy feel. Adjacent to the living room you'll find the spacious main bedroom. The south-facing window here overlooks a quiet courtyard, and the large closet is craftily hidden by a customized decorative curtain behind which you'll find a well-organized system along with your own washer and dryer. Throughout this home, you'll notice clever storage solutions, from the bedroom closets to the living room desk space, all the way to the kitchen. Set out in a practical fashion with compact appliances and additional wall storage, the kitchen enjoys open views over the wide street, so you can keep an eye on what's going on outside as well as inside your home. The apartment comes with a private storage unit (9'x6') as well as one bike space. Stroller parking is located under the stairs. Whether you want to be close to Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Botanical Gardens or library, the farmers' market on Grand Army Plaza, or the cornucopia of offerings along Vanderbilt, Flatbush and Washington Avenues, it's hard to imagine a more perfect location - and we haven't even touched on the amazing subway access! Serviced by the 2, 3, B & Q lines, you'll be able to get wherever you need in no time. Barclays is nearby for events (not long now) and the LIRR for when you want to skip town and head out east. This really could be the perfect sanctuary for you. No dogs, sorry!
