217-219 Eastern Parkway #4-C

Nesting on the top floor of a turn-of-the-century barrel-front four-story white brick condominium on scenic Eastern Parkway, this stunning two bedroom plus office/one bathroom unit has been tastefully gut-renovated by a designer in 2019 from top to bottom with meticulous thought and attention-to-detail and includes mini split a/c units, roof rights, two skylights, shared laundry, and bike and stroller storage. The welcoming entry hall features classic herringbone floors and crown moldings and leads to the intelligently-designed custom gourmet windowed kitchen, boasting distinctive leathered quartzite countertops with a matching backsplash behind the range from Artistic Tile, abundant sleek contemporary cabinetry with sophisticated Pepe & Carols hardware, a deep undermount sink with a champagne gold pullout faucet below the window, and top-of-the-line appliances that include a concealed Bosch dishwasher, a counter-depth stainless steel Haier refrigerator with twin bottom freezer drawers, and a five-burner stainless steel LG range and above-range microwave. Clever storage solutions include a spice drawer, wine rack, and a hidden coffee/countertop appliance station. The breakfast counter with seating space for two opens to the inviting west-facing living room with two windows, two generous closets, an oversized vented skylight, and a wall-mounted credenza. A custom built-in white marble-topped bar/vanity sits in the hallway, which is illuminated by restored antique Art Deco Catskills farmhouse light fixtures. Sliding double pocket doors open to the first bedroom featuring crisp white exposed brick, a closet, and ample space for a king-size bed and two nightstands. Majestically overlooking the Brooklyn Museum and verdant treetops through a trio of tall south-facing bay windows accented by dentil moldings and a France & Son pendant light, the sun-splashed second bedroom possesses a built-in mirrored wardrobe and can accommodate a queen-size bed. A windowed home office/dressing room/nursery with a built-in desk and cabinets is conveniently attached via a pocket door for maximum space utilization. The refined Euro-chic bath is fashionably outfitted with striking Artistic Tile black and white marble flooring, a walk-in shower with chevron-patterned tilework and both rainwater and handheld shower heads, a dual flush Toto toilet system, dual recessed medicine cabinets, an elegant marble-topped vanity, and a unique solar tube skylight. Throughout the airy apartment are newly refinished, richly-stained hardwood floors, high ceilings, eyeball recessed dimmable lighting, newly-installed solid wood doors, and new double-paned thermal windows. Mini split air conditioning units in the living room and both bedrooms will keep you cool and collected. Plumbing and electric have also been updated, including a new electric panel. Ownership comes with the rights to a third of the roof (approximately 8' x 27' or 216 square feet), up just one flight of stairs, with the opportunity to build out the roof deck or cabana of your dreams. Residents enjoy shared communal coin-operated laundry facilities (with the potential to add an in-unit washer-dryer with board approval) and complimentary bicycle/stroller storage, and low common charges that include heat, hot water, and cooking gas. The handsome pet-friendly pre-war building without an elevator is perfectly positioned on the cusp of the vibrant Prospect Heights and Crown Heights communities within close proximity to the best the borough has to offer, including Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, Brooklyn Public Library, and Grand Army Plaza. The 2/3/4/5/S trains are just a block away. Shopping, dining, and leisure are plentiful along nearby Franklin, Washington, and Vanderbilt Avenues, and a new Union Market is opening up a few blocks away. Broker/owner.
