708 8th Avenue #1-R

This captivating two bedroom, one and a half bath pre-war home with private outdoor deck offers you a peaceful retreat right in the heart of beautiful Park Slope. Spanning the full length of the charming building, this appealing home features sunny eastern and western exposures and lots of light. The living room is a true 'wow!' with it's stately bay window front, original stained glass and a *working* wood-burning fireplace with handsome brick mantel-- time to curl up in front of some crackling logs and a good book! The galley kitchen is laid out with excellent cabinet space and features an oversize walk-in pantry with room for all the bread starter, canned chickpeas and dried pasta you might wish. The separate dining room has more than enough space for a six-seater table, includes a substantial closet, and could potentially be converted to a third bedroom if desired (other units in the building have made the conversion). The two windowed bedrooms are both generously sized with ample closeting and overhead compartments providing out-of-season storage. Access to your own quiet outdoor deck space is in the back of the apartment, and there's plenty of room for dining, hanging out, summer grilling, and if you've got a green thumb, planting! The half-bathroom was smartly renovated recently and has an in-unit stacked and vented washer/dryer, and the full bathroom was also recently beautifully remodeled as well with all new modern fixtures, tile and lighting. The lovely hardwood floors were all refinished, with care taken to bring back all the beautiful base moldings. The apartment also comes with a large dedicated basement storage area included (& room for bikes). Featuring numerous recent updates, this eight unit self-managed co-op is long on Brooklyn charm. There's room off the lobby for stroller or scooter parking. It's both pet friendly and FIOS ready. And with no underlying mortgage, the building maintenance covers heat, hot water, common area cleaning, and garbage/recycling removal. Perfectly situated on tree-lined 8th Avenue between 7th and 8th streets, you're only a block away from the F/G lines and the rambling sylvan fields of Prospect Park. Come see it and make it yours today!
