Description

LOW MAINTENANCE – ONLY $2,599! 20 Plaza Street East #B2 is a one-of-a-kind home originally designed for the developer's family. This is a perfect opportunity to create your dream space! As you enter the home you are greeted by a large foyer and hidden walk-in closet on your right. The apartment flows with ease. One path will lead you in the den (5th bedroom) where there is incredible woodwork throughout from the doors and shelving to the fireplace. There are two large windows overlooking the gorgeous entrance to the building, lush with trees and flowers. Another path takes you to the bedroom quarters and across the foyer is an enormous living / dining space overlooking Sterling Place. The current owners have a table to seat 12 dinner guests and the living / dining area is large enough to host a wedding reception or a children's jungle gym (and has done so in the past). Heading towards the kitchen you will pass a serving station / wet bar. In the kitchen you find a breakfast bar, dining table, tons of cabinets, 2 Sub-zero refrigerators, built-in microwave and additional oven to compliment the large Wolf oven / stove top with hood and a dishwasher. The wet bar is ideal for overflow glasses, cocktails, wine and more. The home is currently being used as a 4 bedroom + den / sitting room, but can also be a 5-bedroom apartment. The bedrooms are all spacious and there are 3 tiled bathrooms. The first bathroom has both a separate tub and walk-in shower. The 2nd bathroom has a combined tub / shower and the en suite a tiled walk-in shower with makeup vanity space. The primary bedroom is large enough for a California king, in addition to a dresser, end tables and a separate reading nook. Look no further than 20 Plaza Street East to build your next home and create special moments for a lifetime. 20 Plaza Street East was built in 1939 and is a very well-maintained, financially stable full-service building with a 24-hour doorman. Other amenities include a live-in super, porter, bike storage, storage cages (short wait list), laundry room, children's play room (currently being renovated) and lending library. When you walk into the lobby you are greeted by a grand space, beautiful art deco mural and seating areas for guests. The front of the building is very well manicured and the hallways and lobby have been updated. The building staff is incredibly welcoming and the location can't get more convenient. You are surrounded by Prospect Park, Grand Army Plaza, The Brooklyn Museum, The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and tons of boutiques and wonderful eateries lining the streets of Prospect Heights and neighboring Park Slope to the west. Easy access to transportation with the 2 / 3 at Grand Army Plaza and the Q & B 4 blocks away, plus all of the subway lines at the major Atlantic Avenue hub a few stops away. Check out our neighborhood video in this listing for an easy snapshot of the area! **Note: Open Houses are by appointment only. Pied-a-terre not prohibited, but not preferred.
