This stunning loft-like, top-floor, three-bedroom, two-bath coop is on one of the most beautiful streets in Prospect Heights. The light-filled, open-plan living room/dining room/kitchen is the point of a pre-war Flatiron-style elevator building. With soaring 12.5 ceilings and windows on three sides, the room offers sweeping views of Brooklyns iconic brownstones and the Manhattan skyline. All three bedrooms have city views and custom-built-out closets. The master bedroom has paired double-doored closets and storage above. The windowed ensuite master bath features a glass-enclosed walk-in shower and marble tiling. The second bath has designer tile and a deep soaking tub. The unit has hardwood floors in 5-wide planks throughout and a walk-in storage closet at the end of a long elegant hallway. The apartment includes washer/dryer, dishwasher, coat closet in the foyer, built-in shelving, well-designed kitchen island with seating, and basement storage unit. The home has Mitsubishi split AC system units in every room and a ceiling fan in the main room. The 1910 building was designed by Cohn Bros. Architects (copy of original drawing of plan for 6th floor hangs in the unit entryway) and was advertised in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle in 1913 as new and highest class in Brooklyn. The building has a common-use courtyard. Subleases are allowed.
