47 Plaza Street W #14-B

This traditionally elegant and beautiful prewar classic six apartment is located in one of Park Slope's finest prewar truly full service buildings. 47 Plaza Street West was designed by Rosario Candela, renowned architect of many of the most prestigious apartment houses on Manhattan?s ?Gold Coast,? including the former home of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, 1040 Fifth Avenue. This grand cooperative apartment has all the traditional prewar details that one would expect, including a gracious layout and beautiful hardwood floors. This six-room home boasts 14 windows with breathtaking panoramic vistas to the north, south and west, and enjoys expansive views from Manhattan to New York Harbor to the Verrazano Bridge to the treetops of Prospect Park. The apartment's gracious layout is true to it's prewar pedigree, featuring two large bedrooms, each with south facing windows, a walk-in closet and full bathroom; gracious entry foyer; oversized living room with custom built-ins; formal dining room; office with custom-built workspace, laundry room, two full baths, and a renovated kitchen with two large side by side windows that appear almost as a single 4? x 4? picture window, revealing the Manhattan skyline. The renovated chef?s kitchen also enjoys ample custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero side-by-side and wine refrigerators; Viking cooktop, range hood and wall oven; and KitchenAid dishwasher. 47 Plaza Street West, known as Brooklyn?s own Flatiron building, was designed at the height of Candela?s popularity and has been heralded by the AIA Guide to New York City (2010) as ?building and space in concert? for the way it ?swoops and embraces the Plaza.? This ornate, brick and terra cotta building stands majestically at the gateway to Brooklyn?s cultural nucleus; steps from Prospect Park (said by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux to be their masterpiece), as well as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Public Library?s Central Branch, and the world-class Brooklyn Museum of Art. It is also a few short blocks from the 2/3; B/Q subway lines, and fantastic local shopping and dining. Residents of this prestigious white-glove cooperative enjoy the highest levels of service.
