Description

Expansive Pre-war charm combined with modern updates in this highly sought after prime Kensington coop building. One of the largest units in the building and boasting 3 exposures, these rarely become available. Spread out in this spacious 2 bedroom that can easily be used as a 3 bedroom. This open and airy apartment features beautiful period details like soaring 9.5 ft. ceilings, original parquet floors and French doors. In addition to the 5 closets, the unit comes with a free basement storage cage.

This apartment boasts a true formal dining room currently set up with a table for 10, perfect for entertaining and dinner parties. The dining area is certainly big enough to be used as a combined living and dining space to make way for use as a 3 bedroom. The living space is large, sunny and bright. The windowed kitchen provides ample cabinet space, generous granite countertops and a subway-tiled backsplash along with stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher. The renovated subway tiled windowed bathroom features a farm sink and recessed lighting. The master bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed with plenty of room to spare and has a large closet. The second bedroom features a ceiling fan, fits a queen size bed and also has a closet.

This is an impeccably maintained building with a marble lobby, a beautiful shared central courtyard and a backyard. There is a brand new laundry room, a live-in super and free convenient bike and stroller storage. This is a pet friendly building, including dogs.

This 4-story building is conveniently located near the Kensington/Windsor Terrace border. A few blocks from beautiful Prospect Park, 3 blocks to the F/G train lines at Fort Hamilton Parkway, express buses to Manhattan are at the corner. There are plenty of fantastic shopping, cafe and restaurant choices in all directions nearby. This is truly a wonderful place to call home! -Agent owned
