Description

Prime Brooklyn's most unique offering is now available! Welcome to 655 Washington Ave, Apt 1A! This spectacular condo offers an approximate 1300 sqft of flexible layout, low carrying costs, two private outdoor spaces and comes with your very own PRIVATE GARAGE!
Upon entry you will be immediately impressed with 10' ceiling height and eastern sunlight pouring in through floor to ceiling windows. Morning light bounces off the original tigerwood flooring, giving the home a warm glow. The modern kitchen includes a full stainless steel appliance package, lots of smart storage, and an oversized island. Off the living area, your private balcony is perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Two bedrooms are just off the living space. The larger bedroom is queen sized. The smaller bedroom makes for a perfect office or kid's room. A full bathroom is on this floor, as well.
Appreciate the separation of going down to the lower level, currently used as the primary bedroom. This flexible space can also be used as an additional living space, or both. The current owners have outfitted this floor with expansive custom storage along with a custom bedframe and headboard. A king-sized bed is no problem at all on this floor! A second full bathroom with double sink vanity is located just off the hallway. Through the bathroom you will find a walk-in laundry room with tons of additional storage space. A wall of floor to ceiling windows leads to your private back yard. This second outdoor space is large enough for entertaining and ideal for home gardeners. Of course, the cherry on top to all of this indoor and outdoor space is the fact that you get your own private garage! No more looking for parking or renting out a storage facility for all of your stuff! This additional space and flexibility is truly a life changer!
655 Washington, known as The Blue Sky Condominium, is a self-managed elevator, boutique condominium TAX ABATED until 2034. Boasting low carrying costs, the building is home to only 10 residences. Additional amenities include a well outfitted gym plus a fully furnished common roof deck with panoramic views. Ideally located at the crossroads of Prospect Heights/Crown Heights, and a stones throw from Park Slope you have 6 trains (including the 2/3 & B/Q!) all a short distance away. Prospect Park, The Brooklyn Museum, Botanical Gardens, The Brooklyn Public Library, Grand Army Plaza, Barclays Center, are all at your door. A plethora of diverse restaurants (the neighborhood is home to at least 3 Michelin starred options) and shopping are all await! Schedule an appointment to upgrade your life today!
