Description

On the top floor of a completely renovated townhouse at the border of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, this beautiful brownstone CONDO is perfectly located. The south-facing living space gets lovely light and features George Nelson and FontanaArte lighting, a gas fireplace, and plenty of space for a separate dining area. Just renovated, the kitchen has an abundance of work and storage space, featuring Brookhaven custom cabinetry and shelving, solid Calacatta Caldia marble counters and backsplash, and Miele, Bosch and Liebherr stainless steel appliances. A large walk-in closet off the kitchen has been outfitted with the Elfa storage system. The master bedroom has wonderful views of the Manhattan skyline, including the Empire State Building, while both bathrooms, including the en-suite master bath, have a mix of modern and classic fixtures and finishes, including white, beveled subway tile and Samuel Heath fixtures. Other highlights of this apartment include a stackable Bosch washer/dryer, wall-mounted split system air conditioning units, beautiful wide-plank wood flooring throughout, and a video intercom system. The four-unit condo has solid financials and low common charges and taxes. Extra storage can be found in the basement and the condo is pet friendly too. Surrounded by all that Fort Greene and Clinton Hill have to offer, including a vibrant dining scene on Dekalb Avenue, Fort Greene Park, and easy access to several subway lines, the location is unbeatable.
