230 PARK Place #1A

Nestled within the heart of Prospect Heights' Historic District, in a highly regarded co-op, is this sprawling (~1,300 sf) two-bedroom, two-bath apartment. Putting "space-saving" new developments to shame, the architects of this c.1937 building designed rooms to be LIVED IN...that is, big, square living rooms and bedrooms, intended to house full-sized furniture and allow residents to luxuriate in their home. The apartment unfolds from a vestibule with two closets into a large foyer, with yet a third closet so winter coats and accessories, pantry and utility items can all be stored away effortlessly. The sunken living room measures an extravagant 250 sqft. Dining is conveniently located just off the renovated windowed kitchen, complete with full-sized stainless-steel appliances, granite counter tops and plenty of cabinets. The master bedroom can handily house a king-sized bed, bureaus and night tables, and has a finished walk-in closet. The en-suite bath has a slate floor and tiled step-in shower. The serene second bedroom faces rear and is nearly as large as the master; an amply sized closet here makes a total of five. The guest bath has a tub-shower and a new toilet and vanity with quartz top. The building has updated its laundry room and boasts FIOS, a great staff of full-time super and 24/7 door attendance. The choices on Vanderbilt Avenue -- just around the corner to the left -- are dizzying: Joyce Bakery, Olmsted, Faun, R&D Specialty Foods, the newly renovated Foodtown Supermarket, Fatoosh, Branded Saloon, Fermented Grapes wine shop, Weather Up cocktail lounge, Milk Bar, Ample Hills and much more! Turn right on Vanderbilt, and you're at the foot of Grand Army Plaza, the Greenmarket, Prospect Park and all that Flatbush Avenue has to offer. BAM, BAM Harvey, TFANA, Mark Morris and BRIC are right on the horizon, as well. The 2/3 train at Grand Army Plaza and the B/Q at Seventh Avenue (down the block) easily get you to and from Manhattan -- if you can tear yourself away!
