Description

Welcome to this warm and inviting 2-bedroom, second floor home at The Florence, an original Finnish coop in Sunset Park. This quiet apartment offers a spacious living/dining room separated by gorgeous original wood pocket doors from the master bedroom - a layout that provides comfortable Brooklyn-style living. The large windowed kitchen has been beautifully renovated and provides loads of wood cabinets, granite counters and commercial grade appliances. The second bedroom features custom wood built-ins, currently used as an office nook, in addition to the sleeping area. This built-in cabinetry also can house a Murphy bed that will come with the apartment, if you choose. Lovely pre-war details throughout include original hardwood floors, 9-foot cove ceilings, wood moldings, and generous clever storage cubbies, closets, and even a built-in glass-fronted cabinet in the dining area. The Florence, a classic 1912 Finnish coop, displays characteristic original detail and charming features, plus its own unique personality. The immaculate self-managed building is 100% owner-occupied (no subletting allowed) and pet friendly. Amenities include a common laundry room, shared rear patio area, private storage closet and trunk room space, woodworking room and bike room in the basement, all included in the low $535 monthly maintenance. Located at 546 40th Street, the building is conveniently just around the corner from Sunset Park, and a few blocks to the N, R and D trains. Industry City is a short walk away, with shops and eateries galore (including Japan Village). Come see what all the buzz is about in this dynamic neighborhood.
