Comfort awaits you in a beautiful 3 bedroom 2 full bathroom apartment at 296 Sterling Place, located in prime Prospect Heights. An entry foyer with 2 large closets welcomes you inside this spacious, well-laid-out apartment boasting 12 windows and a lovely light-filled ambience! Beyond sit 2 generous bedrooms with ample closets (one a walk-in). Between them you?ll find a lovely full windowed bathroom, and laundry closet with stackable washer/dryer. To the right of the foyer is a finely appointed windowed kitchen with abundant wood cabinetry and counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a porcelain farmhouse sink. The cook?s quarters open out to a very sizable living/dining area for relaxing and entertaining, flooded with sunshine throughout the day thanks to three oversized windows.

Other highlights are split-system air conditioning, and private storage space in the basement that complements the home?s extensive (7) closets. This premier apartment in a 21-unit prewar elevator coop is supremely located on Sterling Place at the corner of Butler Place, right around the corner from Prospect Park, and the 2/3/B and Q express trains. Nearby you?ll enjoy great restaurants, cafes and shops along Vanderbilt Avenue, or take a short stroll down Eastern Parkway to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and the Brooklyn Museum.
