Description

Welcome to 295 Saint Johns Place, Unit 5G - a beautiful and airy 2 bedroom co-op with open views and low maintenance, nestled in the charming and vibrant Prospect Heights, just moments from vibrant Prospect Park itself.

Originally built in 1923, this 101 year old gem of a building has stood the test of time, with pre-war architecture preserved, offering the perfect blend of vintage sophistication and modern conveniences to reflect its illustrious past.

Located on the 5th floor of a 6 floor, 54 unit elevator building, Unit 5G at 295 St. John's Place exemplifies flow and function in this bright and elegantly laid out apartment at nearly 1,000sf, with primary open city skyline views to the North, and additional exposures to both the South and West.

For the home chef, they'll feel right at home in the separate, windowed, eat-in kitchen, which provides plenty of storage and counterspace for meals both small and large. A gas range allows for more precise cooking, and a large dishwasher makes cleanup a snap.

Just down the hall, you'll discover 5G comes equipped with laundry in unit, tucked away in very large closet, granting you plenty of extra storage space.

Adorned with classic archways, there's ample space for both a full living room and dining set in the living room, creating the perfect spot for entertaining guests, or enjoying a quiet night at home reading a book (especially if you make use of the extensive amount of built in bookshelves added throughout the apartment).

Both bedrooms are quite spacious, with enough room for a queen bed and home office in one, and a king sized bed plus additional furniture in the primary.

At the northeast corner of Prospect Park, 295 St. John's Place is within a very short distance to many of the major attractions in the area: the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park Zoo, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the Saturday Greenmarket.

Commuting is a breeze, as the 2/3 Express trains are a short distance from your doorstep, with the B/Q just beyond, making this the ideal home for anyone looking to have ease of access to the rest of the city, while still enjoying all of the benefits of Prospect Heights and the surrounding area. If you're looking to stay local, you have the option to make use of the bike lanes featured throughout the neighborhood, including those on both sides of this very wide street, with a convenient CitiBike station right around the corner.

Pets, pied-a-terres, subletting after 2 years of ownership with board approval, and 80% financing are allowed, with no flip tax. This well-maintained cooperative features a live-in super, elevators for both the East and West wing of the building, a gracious landscaped courtyard, a live-in super, and bike/private storage, both subject to availability and fees.

All appointments and open houses are by appointment ONLY. Please reach out in advance to schedule a time to view.
