427 ST JOHNS Place #4B

427 St. John's Place, a 16-unit condominium in a pre-war walk-up building, is located in the heart of Prospect Heights. This top-floor rear-facing apartment has been renovated utilizing space in a most masterful way. Its owners have created a home that is at once functional and stylish. The windowed kitchen has been fashioned with Carrara marble countertops, white subway tile, tall upper cabinetry with reinforced lower drawers, open shelving, and charcoal porcelain floor tiles, all of which create a harmonious and functional space. Quality stainless-steel appliances -- Liebherr fridge, Bosch dishwasher, Bosch five-burner stove (plus a built-in water filter) -- are cleverly nestled into this well-designed kitchen. A pass-through window incorporates cooking and dining, and as we resume socializing, the prospect of a dinner party for six or eight is achievable. The dining area flows gracefully into a comfortable living room, bathed in light from south-facing windows. A beveled shelf is illuminated: the perfect place to display your collectibles. A linen closet in the hallway sits across from the bathroom, which has been renovated with a soaking tub and shower, white wall tiles and a charcoal porcelain floor. In the primary bedroom, windows overlook a succession of backyards for a peaceful, restorative sleep. At night, enjoy the poetry of twinkling city lights in the distance. A spacious closet with triple-panel doors is well-appointed with hanging rods, shelves and drawers, and there is plenty of room to accommodate a queen or king-sized bed. The second bedroom has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and its own extra-large closet, also outfitted with built-in file drawers. Light strewn, it functions beautifully as bedroom or home office. Two more hallway closets for hanging clothes and pantry are welcome additional storage. The board prides itself on both its care of the building and the camaraderie of its community. Pet friendly and non smoking, the building has a common courtyard outfitted with BBQ and patio furniture, basement laundry and individual storage cages, all covered in your monthly common charges. Located on a tree-lined double-wide street, the building is moments away from the vitality of Prospect Heights, both day and night: nature in Prospect Park and the Botanic Gardens, culture at the Brooklyn Museum, fresh food at the farmer's market, shopping at local boutiques, and a medley of dining choices, notably Olmstead, Sunshine Co., Cheryl's Global Soul, Lowerline, Most High and Bar Meridian. Commuting? Two short blocks brings you to the 2/3 express train for a quick ride into Manhattan, and the 4/5 and Q/B lines are only a few blocks further. Working from home? This is the perfect choice!
