Description

Private Outdoor Terrace! Unit 2L is a beautifully renovated studio apartment at The Griffin, one of the few doorman buildings located in prime Fort Greene. The owner recently undertook a full cosmetic renovation of the kitchen, bathroom and flooring, and the beautiful casement windows open onto a 12'x'14' terrace that is all yours (and which gets amazing afternoon light and sunsets). The kitchen has an upgraded stainless steel gas range/stove and refrigerator, Caesarstone counters and backsplash, and brand new custom cabinets for that super-clean white on white aesthetic. The bathroom was also refinished with a new tiling, toilet, and fixtures, and looks beautifully update while retaining some pre-warm charm (we love the pedestal sink!). And the living space is roomy enough for 4 distinct living needs - sleeping, working, relaxing and eating. There's also a walk-in closet to round it all out. Simply put, this is a perfect studio apartment in an incredible location, and won't last in this fast-moving market! The Griffin is located just one block from Fort Greene park and endless restaurants and bars, and is just steps from the C and G trains and a 5 minute walk to the B/D/N/R/Q/2/3/4/5 and LIRR trains. The building has a part-time doorman, 24 hour laundry room, storage in the building, and a live in super. Pets are welcome! The building was converted to a coop in 1987, it was formerly a hotel that was built in 1931 and retains the grand art deco designs.
