Description
Perched on the top floor of a self-managed 3 unit condo building is the penthouse of 494 President Street.
A truly turn key 2 bedroom apartment is delivered with all the bells and whistles. The kitchen is laden with top end appliances: Bosch, Vulkcan, Viking, Blomberg. A washer/dryer is included in unit. The apartment is well appointed with bamboo flooring throughout as well as high ceilings. A marble decked bathroom includes a skylight. An HVAC split system delivers localized heat and a/c per room. A Juliet balcony extends from the living room looking to a canyon of neighboring backyards and gardens. Is there more? How about a wine cooler and wood burning fireplace? In a condo? Yes.
But the piece de resistance? From within the apartment up the stairs you'll find a private roof deck with a sprawling space set up for dining and entertaining. Included in the sale you'll find a full furniture set up as well including a bar, bbq, umbrella, bar and lawn chairs. The view showcases sunrise and sunset panoramic views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines.
Gowanus is conveniently located between old world Park Slope and Carroll Gardens. Its a hotbed of change and development with a burgeoning array of shops, galleries, bars, restaurants and gyms. Right around the corner you'll find Michelin star Claro, local fave Littlefield and a host of other landmarks. Travel and commute to Manhattan is easy with the R and F/G a short distance away.
And what of finances? 494 President boats an extraordinarily low monthly costs with maintenance and tax -combined- under $300 dollars! Do your research; try to find another property this size in this location with this price with this low a monthly expense. You won't. Book a time, on appointment to see this gem of a home. In the "million-ish" price point there is nothing in the Fall Brooklyn real estate market that compares. This one is special.
