452 15th Street #1L

This first-floor coop apartment in an eight-unit building -- only a half block from Prospect Park -- is as pretty and cleanly designed as it comes! Smartly laid out, the apartment starts at the living room, illuminated by a shuttered two-window bay, and features a wood-burning fireplace, exposed brick and a graceful transition to the well-appointed center kitchen where you can visit and eat informally at a granite-topped breakfast bar. Stainless-steel appliances are the perfect companion to hardwood cabinetry and a white subway tile backsplash. A luxurious one full and one additional half bath take all pressure off morning activities. Built-in bookshelves make efficient use of the long hallway where two well-sized bedrooms sit quietly toward the back of the apartment. A serene and beautifully planted rear garden has plenty of space for quiet enjoyment. Laundry (three washers, three dryers), bikes and generous bulk storage are free in the basement. Moreover, this well-run, self-managed, pet-friendly building has no underlying mortgage and strong financials. The F train is conveniently located around the corner; shopping and dining are all around -- with myriad choices in both Park Slope and Windsor Terrace. To top it off: The timing is right for a summer-full of concerts at Celebrate Brooklyn!
