Description

Beautifully renovated and well curated studio at the Griffin, Ft. Greenes most popular 24-hr DM, elevator coop. 2J is one of five units in the building with PRIVATE TERRACE, quietly overlooking serene gardens and "the prettiest block in New York City" (NY Magazine). The kitchen features white lacquer cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, Bosch stove/oven and dishwasher plus dark granite countertops. A modern bathroom features floor to ceiling 12" porcelain tile, dual flush Toto toilet, glass shower shield fronting a mosaic tile accent wall, and radiant-heat floor. High-end light fixtures throughout, original casement window and dark-stained original strip flooring below. The Griffin is a classic art deco building located on a park block in the epicenter of Fort Greenes Historic District, known as much for its placid tree-lined streets as its proximity to virtually every train to Manhattan. The C/G trains are a block away and the 2,3,4,5,D,B,N,Q,R subway lines and the LIRR are four short blocks away. The building features a 24-hr doorman, new elevators, bike storage, laundry room, and private storage. It is pet friendly, there is no formal board approval and sublets are permitted after one year of owner occupancy. Units at the Griffin remain a great investment in any economy and are ideal if you are a first-time home buyer. Co-purchases with parents are permitted.
