Why You’ll Love It…
Enter this unit through a sectioned-off foyer that creates the perfect landing spot when you get home. This space also boasts a large closet that could be used for coats and shoes, or as a pantry. The kitchen is definitely the focal point of the apartment, featuring sleek two-tone cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a large two-door fridge. A large island provides both storage and space for up to four barstools, and is well-lit thanks to ceiling pendant lights and the room’s wall of windows.
Because this unit is on the top floor (of an elevator building!), you won’t get any noise from upstairs neighbors, and you’ll get lots of great light through the unit’s many exposures. The windows are dual-paned for soundproofing, and you’ll find lots of them throughout the apartment: three in the living area/kitchen, two in the corner bedroom, and one in the bathroom.
While we’re counting, we’ll also point out the unit’s total number of closets: eight! There are four custom closets in the bedroom, three outside the bedroom and bathroom, and one in the entryway. The living area has even more storage in the form of wall-to-wall built-in shelves, providing the perfect way to show off your collection of books, plants, board games…you name it. The bathroom also features a spacious vanity and a large overhead cabinet. On the topic of the bathroom, the room has major luxury upgrades, including a rain shower and heated floors!
This co-op building has its own courtyard, bike room, recreation room, common laundry, and a live-in super. Parking and storage are also on-site but currently have a waitlist. Location-wise, the building is just across the street from Greenwood Cemetery and a few blocks from Machate Circle and Prospect Park. The F train stops less than a quarter of a mile away, and there are tons of coffee shops, delis, restaurants, and cafes on the surrounding blocks.
…And Why You Might Not
Unfortunately for dog parents, according to the listing this building only allows cats. There’s also no dishwasher. But for a great location at a great price point, this one is certainly worth shortlisting.
