Why it’s so popular
Feast your eyes on this chic, contemporary co-op in the heart of vibrant Fort Greene, Brooklyn!
A spacious foyer as soon as you walk in the front door of this Fort Greene 1-bedroom starts you off on the right foot. There’s room enough for a large bookshelf and entry-way storage furniture, as shown in the listing photos. You could also use this generous space as a dedicated work-from-home nook if you need it.
From there it’s easy to waltz into the combination living and dining room, where a massive exposure serves as an attractive focal point. An artful light fixture hangs overhead, sandwiched between crisp and refined ceiling beams. And an open layout allows for the ultimate flexibility when arranging furniture and artwork.

The main room gives way to the stunning chef’s kitchen, which benefits from abundant blue-gray cabinetry and a fully separate island for prep work. Cleaning up is a breeze thanks to the deep stainless steel sink and a dishwasher. And a tree-top view from the room’s large window sweetens the already delicious deal.
The same black-rimmed windows greet you in the home’s one bedroom, allowing sunlight to illuminate the picturesque grooves in the hardwood flooring. There’s tons of space to spread out beyond the bed — whether you need a workspace, a cozy reading corner, or even a dedicated area to work out, you can really make this room your own.
The unit’s one bathroom has been expertly refinished and comes inclusive of a towel rack for integrated storage and a mirror cabinet above the vanity. Not to mention the funky aquamarine shower tiling, which adds a punchy and exciting splash of color to the room.
Beyond the apartment itself, there are amenities galore in the gorgeous Art Deco building. We’re talking a 24-hour doorman, on-site super, and resident laundry room. Pet lovers, rejoice — your four-legged friends are welcome here, too.
