1409 Albemarle Road #5-C

Located in the only landmarked co-op on Prospect Park South, nestled among turn-of-the-century mansions on tree-lined Albemarle Road, this spacious home is remarkable in many ways. Unit 5C is a rarely available converted 2-bedroom that stands out from the typical cookie-cutter homes. The well-designed layout has a proper entrance foyer with two large coat closets, gracious rooms and three exposures visible through ten windows. The designated dining area and sizable living room with direct access to a private terrace are perfect for entertaining. The renovated windowed kitchen is equipped with beautiful wood cabinetry, granite counters, dishwasher, a brand-new refrigerator, and a 30" range. Beautiful solid wood French doors open to the converted 2nd bedroom, where natural light floods the space through a pair of windows. The bright king-sized primary bedroom has two closets and three windows with treetop views. Prewar details include beautifully maintained inlaid hardwood floors, high ceilings with archways, and stripped solid wood doors with original hardware. The windowed bathroom has pristine vintage tile, a pedestal sink, built-in storage, a shower stall, and a separate soaking tub. This distinguished pet-friendly building offers lovely gardens, an elegantly restored lobby and hallways, a common laundry room, bike room, a private storage room, and a live-in superintendent. Conveniently located very close to Prospect Park, restaurants, bars, cafes, and stores on both Cortelyou Road and Church Avenue, as well as the B/Q subway stations at Beverley Road and Church Ave. Near the Cortelyou Road Farmers Market, and just a block from the Community Garden. Coop board approval required. (Available February 1)
