535 DEAN Street #311

Incomparable space, unparalleled value. Apartment 311 at the famed full service Newswalk Condominium is a massive duplex currently set up as a two-bedroom but easily convertible to a three-bedroom (see alternate floorplan). Spanning more than 2000 square feet, you get the size of a nearby townhouse with all of the amenities you'll ever need: a full-time doorman, elevator, a superior staff and super, onsite fitness center, onsite parking, a lovely new front garden and one of Brooklyn's largest roofdecks replete with BBQ stations, a wet area, and a children's play area, all of which span two levels with views far and wide. Enter the home to a lofted foyer which leads down to the living and dining areas or up to the bedrooms and bonus office space. Downstairs lies a 35 x 22 living/dining room - roughly twice the size of the average such space - and a marvelous, newly upgraded open kitchen featuring full-size stainless appliances, black granite countertops, gorgeous new Carrara marble backsplash and a breakfast bar with plenty of room to dine casually. Just off of the kitchen is the dining area which is currently set up to seat 8 but offers room for a much larger table should the occasion call for it. Approaching the wall of six windows is the wonderfully bright living area which not only offers ample seating and extra room to roam, but it even houses a grand piano without feeling in any way cramped. A newly refreshed full bathroom completes the lower level of the home. Upstairs you'll find two equal and oversized bedrooms each with its own walk-in closet and great light. Just outside of the bedrooms is a lovely bonus space currently used as an office but which can serve many roles. There is also a beautiful limestone bathroom on the upper level which features both a jacuzzi tub and a shower and plenty of storage space. Completing the picture are refurbished hardwood floors and an efficient central heat and air conditioning system. The Newswalk condominium is incredibly healthy financially and has just had a significant reduction in common charges. In addition, the brand new landscaped front garden was paid for from the building's reserves with no additional assessment to owners. Best of all, living at Newswalk puts you within a three minute walk of the Barclay's Center and its transportation options galore, not to mention a quick walk to Prospect Park and the many shopping and dining options in Prospect Heights, Park Slope, Fort Greene and Downtown Brooklyn, all of which are mere minutes away.
