Own for the price of rent! It's a buyer's market ... a chance to buy your piece of The Apple - and build equity - for the cost of a rental! Welcome to this gut renovated home in one of the finest, best-run, full-service co-ops in Downtown Brooklyn, with all the amenities you could hope for. This perfectly proportioned and thoughtfully designed east-facing studio is move-in ready, offering abundant light, new thermal pane windows, and lots of closet space. The floor plan is efficient, making the most for a comfortable lifestyle: a foyer with two large closets, a bathroom with an en-suite dressing area, and an oversized living and sleeping area. And the low common charges make the cost of owning this home comparable. University Towers is superbly operated, offering substantial capital improvements that have enhanced residents' quality of life, all completed without assessments to shareholders! Recent capital improvements include: exterior lighting and parking lot repairs, new rooves, thermal pane windows, new laundry facilities, a manicured and furnished barbeque courtyard, and much more!
