Description

Spacious and airy three bedroom, two bath corner home on a quiet tree-lined block. Formerly a 2BR, this sunny, corner apartment was thoughtfully converted by previous owners to a well-proportioned 3BR with no wasted space. A convenient split layout with 2BR?s on one side and a enormous master bedroom with ensuite bath on the other means complete privacy and noise reduction on playdate days. The large windowed kitchen has been completely opened up and renovated to accommodate a generous amount of cabinets and more than ample counter space. Separate dining area is large enough to for Thanksgiving or dinner parties and flows seamlessly into the sunken living room with generous pre-war graciousness and built-in storage. Other features throughout include original herringbone floors, arched doorway, large and plentiful closets, 10 foot ceilings, and 10 windows for maximum light and air. Located in a charming and intimate pre-war elevator building with live-in super, communal storage, bike room, and central laundry. Just two blocks to the local school, The Windsor Terrace Library, Greenwood Playground, F/G trains and Fort Hamilton Parkway with neighborhood eatery?s, well-loved yoga studio, and Jr. Greenmarket. According to the DOE this apartment is zoned for P.S. 130 in District 15. Cats are permitted, and dogs upon approval. Note there is currently an additional $63/month assessment in place. We welcome you to visit this spectacular home!
