Description

This immaculate, recently renovated apartment is in a beautiful, historic brick building on Vanderbilt Avenue in the heart of Prospect Heights. A lofty, spacious, light-filled living/dining area leads to an open kitchen, modern bathroom, over-sized master bedroom, and ample second bedroom, with high ceilings throughout. The clean lines, exposed brick, and hardwood floors are complemented by Lutron fixtures, a working fireplace, and a kitchen with stone countertops by Brooklyn stone company Foro, stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher and full-size washer and dryer), and US-made cabinetry. The bathroom has been outfitted with Grohe fixtures, Italian floor tile, a large soaking tub, and a modern vanity with plenty of storage. The master bedroom features two roomy closets and is bathed in light, while the second bedroom (which also has a generous closet) can function as a bedroom and/or office. The location is unbeatable: one block from the B/Q and the 2/3 (among other nearby trains), and surrounded by some of Brooklyn?s best restaurants, bars, and food shops, e.g., Olmsted, Chuko, Sofreh, Weather Up, Faun, Alta Calidad, Fausto, the Islands, Four & Twenty Blackbirds, Mermaid?s Garden, and R&D Foods. The apartment is also blocks from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, the Grand Army Plaza farmer?s market, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, as well as a variety of schools and preschools (such as Montessori Day School of Brooklyn, Berkeley Carroll School, and PS 9) and playgrounds. The unusually low maintenance fee ($785) includes heat, water, and RE taxes. The building is entirely owner-occupied and has recently been repointed and gotten a new roof and water heater. The basement has very large storage areas for each unit. Cats are welcome, dogs require approval.
