Don't miss this rarely available, over-sized three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with private outdoor space in Flatbush's special, art-filled Philip Howard Apartments, a luxury full-service Cooperative. This 1,518-square-foot apartment boasts the largest layout in the building ? a layout that rarely becomes available for sale. Here, you're welcomed home by a gracious foyer that opens to a massive great room stretching more than 32-feet-long to bright east-facing windows and open-sky views. The generous dining alcove opens to a large private balcony, and the updated kitchen features ample storage space, granite countertenors and full-size stainless steel appliances. The convenient split-bedroom layout places the large primary suite to the south of the living room, where you'll find two large closets and an en suite bathroom. To the west of the great room, two more spacious bedrooms with roomy closets and north-facing windows flank the home's windowed guest bath. There are nine closets total ? add convenience and ease to this fantastic Flatbush home. Offered in move-in-ready, livable condition, this sprawling home would truly come alive with well-planned updates. Bring your contractor to create an expansive showplace in this coveted floor plan. The Philip Howard Apartments is a postwar luxury building converted to cooperative use in 1984. On site, you'll find the 5,000-square-foot Valentine Museum of Art (VMoA) featuring stunning works collected over three decades by Michael Valentine, a former Philip Howard resident. The full-service, elevator co-op also offers 24-hour doorman and security, live-in superintendent, two laundry rooms, a playground and garden, Olympic swimming pool and kids' pool, personal storage (currently wait-listed), underground parking garage (currently wait-listed) and a bike room (coming soon). Pieds-à-terre, co-purchases, gifting and subletting allowed. Sorry, no pets! This ultra-convenient East Flatbush home is near Brooklyn College and the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts, and adjacent to the fantastic shopping along Flatbush and Nostrand avenues, including the Triangle Junction shopping center's Target and HomeGoods. There are abundant city buses nearby, and the 2 and 5 trains two blocks away whisk passengers into Manhattan in under 30 minutes.
