Description

Overlooking a quiet, tree-lined block unit 5B at 283 East 5th Street is a large, open and bright, legal 2 bedroom, currently used as a 3 bedroom, two full bath corner residence. This home is located in an exquisite pre-war, Art Deco, coop elevator building in charming Kensington.

As you enter through the foyer, after hanging your coat in the entry closet, you are greeted by the large, light-filled, open living area. The windowed, modern, highly functional kitchen has generous cabinets and a peninsula ideal for eating breakfast. A large, separate, dining area is perfect for entertaining and flows effortlessly into the sunken living room with gracious pre-war details and windows facing sunny, bucolic, Albemarle Road. The split layout with the two smaller bedrooms and one bath with tub on one side and an extra-large bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower on the other side offers optimal privacy. Other attractive details throughout include original herringbone floors, an arched doorway, five large closets and ten windows for optimal light. Separate storage space included with unit, as well as bike storage in basement.

The building is impeccably maintained with live-in super and card-operated laundry in the basement. Building is wired for Fios and Optimum. Near the F/G trains and express bus to Manhattan. Many favorite neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, yoga studio and other amenities all nearby. Just blocks to Greenwood Playground, P.S. 130, bike paths and beautiful Prospect Park!

The housing stock includes brick rowhouses, prewar co-op apartment buildings along Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue, and detached Victorian homes on the side streets, served by the F and G trains at Fort Hamilton Parkway and Church Avenue. The B and Q express trains are accessible within a short walk, providing a 30-to-35-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan.
