230 PARK Place #2J

The glorious Art Deco co-op building that is 230 Park Place -- in PRIME Prospect Heights -- now offers a meticulously gut-renovated two-bed, two-bath apartment. Stripped to its ribs, this apartment was reimagined and rebuilt with both integrity and style. The capacious layout of over 1,300 sq.ft. offers endless possibilities for furniture arrangement (bring on the biggest sectional and TV!). Enter 2J: two closets and space for a bench to put on or take off shoes, drop mail, and regroup before coming or going. The sunken living room has built-in shelves and cabinets flanking its double bay, as well as an area that works perfectly as a dedicated home office. The windowed galley kitchen is refined and functional, with ceiling-high Kraftmaid cabinets finished in a handsome marine blue with brushed chrome hardware; expansive Quartzite countertops; and a suite of Bosch & GE appliances, including an electric double oven. The adjacent dining area easily seats six with chairs and/or a banquette. Two oversized bedrooms are set off from the common areas for privacy and serenity. The primary suite has a pristine bathroom with a marble-topped vanity, heated floors and step-in shower, and a fully outfitted walk-in designed by California Closet. The guest bath also has a marble-topped vanity, as well as a tub and shower. The apartment has four additional closets, refinished white oak floors, new windows in stained white oak with marble sills, and pristine skim-coated walls. 230 Park Place, a full-service, pet-friendly building, runs like a tight ship with a full-time super, door attendant seven days a week (8am-midnight during the week and overnight on weekends); laundry, storage and a bike room are located in the basement. The address is second to none: just off prime Vanderbilt Avenue with fabulous restaurants and retail galore and only a few blocks to Grand Army Plaza where you'll find the Saturday farmer's market, the main branch of the library and the entrance to Prospect Park. Commuting or welcoming friends? You're equidistant from the 2/3 and B/Q. At 230 Park Place, apt. 2J, LIFE IS GOOD!
