246 5TH Avenue #4R

This bright, top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers classic prewar character in a pet-friendly, 8-unit co-op. Exposed brick, hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, a renovated kitchen and bath, plus an in-unit washer and dryer, basement storage, and roof rights make this home a great find.

The open, airy living space gets wonderful light through large east-facing windows, bringing in lovely light throughout the day. Anchored by a working wood-burning fireplace, there is also plenty of space for dining.

The renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry reaching the ceiling, soapstone counters, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a Bertazzoni range with ceiling-mounted hood, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. Down the hall, neatly tucked away, is a vented Miele washer/dryer.

The renovated, windowed bathroom offers classic finishes and fixtures, including subway tile and chrome details.

The bright primary bedroom is perched high above neighboring gardens, offering tranquil views and abundant light. "Central" air conditioning via a split system blends modern convenience with the charm of prewar living.

This unit also includes roof rights to 50% of the roof, with the potential to build a roof deck with open 360-degree views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines, pending board approval.

This 8-unit, pet-friendly co-op offers storage and bike storage in the basement. With no underlying mortgage, maintenance is incredibly low, and the building is in excellent condition. Ideally located in Center Slope, with easy access to Prospect Park, JJ Byrne Playground, and the many shops and restaurants along 5th and 7th Avenues, and just 2.5 blocks from the N/R and D trains.
