25 PLAZA Street W #3A

25 Plaza Street, 3A The first experience upon entering this jewel box of a residence is the cinematic light and efficient layout. The sweet updated windowed kitchen features both form and function. Complete with petite dishwasher and peek-a-boo window in the living room for casual dining at bar stools. Two steps down, the sunken living room creates separation while allowing light and air to move freely through the space. The living room is large enough for a sectional couch with room for end tables and additional seating. Across from the window is the first of three over-sized closets within the apartment. Through the glass French doors, the bedroom can accommodate a queen-sized bed with room for dressers, nightstands and more. As with the living room, there is a wide closet opposite the window for clothing and storage. Around the corner from the kitchen, past the third large closet is the windowed bathroom. Inside is a large soaking tub and vintage in feel pedestal sink. This charmer boasts high arched ceilings, hardwood floors and five west-facing windows offering views of treetops and blue sky above the neighboring bucolic buildings. Built in 1941, The Berkeley is a six-story elevator building with two roof decks: one facing the arch at Grand Army Plaza and the other providing sweeping views of Brooklyn, Manhattan and New York Harbor in between. The building is pet-friendly and allows for co-purchasing, guarantors and pied-a-terres alike. The lobby and hallways were recently renovated and the basement features a common laundry room as well as bike storage accessible via the elevators. Additionally, there is a storage room and parking garage within the building (waitlist for both). There is a live-in super as well as part-time doorman: 8am to midnight, seven days a week. The 2/3 train is at the end of the block; the B/Q trains are a little farther on Flatbush. World class shopping and dining can be found on Vanderbilt Ave or Park Slope's 5th and 7th Avenues. Grand Army Plaza plays host to the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. Just beyond, the Brooklyn Library, Botanic Gardens and Museum line Eastern Parkway. The Park Slope Food Coop is two blocks down on Union and saving the best for last, Prospect Park serves as a respite from the hustle of city life.
