Description
Welcome to Unit 20 at 765 42nd Street — a bright, spacious 2-bedroom home on the second floor of a classic Finnish co-op building, just half a block from the crown jewel of the neighborhood: Sunset Park. This 800 sq ft residence beautifully blends original pre-war charm with thoughtful functionality. With 2 exposures, and tall ceilings, the home enjoys abundant natural light and refreshing cross-breezes. Highlights include two well-proportioned bedrooms, a generous eat-in kitchen with a dishwasher, and period details throughout — from hardwood floors and decorative moldings to a unique, original safe that nods to the building’s rich history. One of the building’s special features is the shared courtyard — a tucked-away space where neighbors connect and a strong sense of community thrives. Set in the heart of vibrant Sunset Park, you’re close to everything that 5th Avenue and 8th Avenue have to offer — from bustling markets to specialty shops and restaurants. Right around the corner, you’ll find neighborhood favorites like Liebre Café for incredible coffee and pastries, Parlay for a casual and delicious lunch, and the iconic Ba Xuyen, widely regarded as one of the best Vietnamese sandwich spots in the city. Ideally located just steps from the D train and a short walk to the N and R lines, this home offers an easy commute and quick access to all corners of the city. When you’re not on the move, enjoy the stunning panoramic views, rolling green lawns, and Olympic-sized pool at nearby Sunset Park. Co-op amenities include shared laundry, a communal family space, private storage, bike storage, a welcoming courtyard, and low monthly maintenance. There is an assessment for capital improvements for $351/month until July 2033. Come experience the warmth, character, and comfort of Unit 20 — classic Brooklyn living at its best.
