Property Details
Description
On beautiful Columbia Heights in the heart of tree-lined Brooklyn Heights, this light-filled studio feels as if it's in Paris! With two enormous west-facing windows measuring over 8' tall, soaring 11+' ceilings, a sleeping loft (tall enough to stand in), hardwood floors and a renovated kitchen and bath, and storage galore, this apartment could not have more charm. The full-size kitchen has solid wood cabinetry, a breakfast bar with seating for three, black granite counters and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and plenty of work and storage space. The bathroom is just-renovated with a new vanity, new medicine cabinet, new tile and new fixtures. Large built-in shelves and cabinetry outside the bathroom are the perfect place to store linens. A large walk-in closet also serves as the platform of the sleeping loft and has a built-in desk area for a home office. Built-in floor-to-ceiling shelving climbs the wall of the living room and frames the stairs to the loft. The sleeping loft is 6' tall and can accommodate a queen-size bed plus a nightstand. Convenient built-in shelves and storage nooks surround the bed. Under the stairs to the loft and under the bed platform is even more additional storage! Just off the Promenade, a few blocks from the 2/3 trains at Clark, the R train at Court, the 4/5 trains at Borough Hall, and the A/C trains at High Street,and close to all the great dining, shopping and amenities Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo has to offer, the location is hard to beat. This well-maintained, financially solid coop allows pets, and pied-a-terres. The coop's ornamental facade dates to the 1920s and the Italian style of sgraffito. The building has been accredited by the Brooklyn Heights Association as one of only a handful of known examples of this style in New York City. "The embellished facade stands in striking contrast to the other buildings on the street and has become an eye-catching novelty in the neighborhood," states the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
