Why You’ll Love It…
Upon entering this unit, you’ll immediately see one of its best features: the sheer amount of storage space. Three of the apartment’s five closets are located in the entryway, making them perfect for storing shoes, coats, linens, cleaning supplies…anything your heart desires. The unit also gets great light from oversized windows, one of which you’ll find in the living room. The separated dining room has two windows, creating a bright and airy space for eating. Alternatively, you could use this space as a home office, or convert it into a second bedroom.
Also windowed is the kitchen, which has been thoughtfully updated with two-tone cabinetry and white subway tile backsplash for a modern look. There’s also a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher! Down the other side of the entryway, you’ll find the bathroom and the bedroom. Big enough for a king-size bed, the bedroom has two closets and sports the same parquet hardwood floors as the rest of the apartment.
The home is located in a pet-friendly elevator building with laundry facilities, 24-hour security, a package room, and a shared garden. Both pied-à-terres and subletting are allowed. In terms of transit, the C and G trains are nearby, and Atlantic Terminal is less than a mile away for even more commuting options. Fort Greene Park is just a few blocks to the west, and you’ll have your fair share of supermarkets to pick from with Key Food, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods all close. Also nearby are countless eateries like Farmer in the Deli, Olea, Glin Thai Bistro, and Soco.
…And Why You Might Not
From the looks of the floor plan, the refrigerator is in a bit of an awkward spot compared to the rest of the kitchen, but still easily accessible while cooking. Besides that, there’s not much to nitpick here. With tons of storage, oversized windows, and separate living and dining spaces, this could be a dream home for lots of buyers!
