Why You’ll Love It…
Complete with a fresh coat of paint and gorgeous hardwood floors, this unit is spacious and equal parts modern and classic. Plus, there’s central A/C! Upon entering the unit, you’ll find a foyer with a coat closet and entrances to both the living room and kitchen. The corner-style kitchen is stylish yet functional, with butcher block countertops, white cabinetry, and a farmhouse sink. A suite of appliances includes a dishwasher, mounted microwave, and full-size oven and range for easy cooking and cleanup.
French doors separate the living room and bedroom, which is so large that it has space for a home office, seating area, or stationary bike. The bedroom also has a full wall of windows and a generously sized closet. The bathroom is accessible to both the living room and bedroom via a dressing area, and features a tub and pedestal sink.
Located in a pet-friendly elevator building with a part-time doorman, this unit has access to a newly renovated laundry room, additional storage, a bike room, and a furnished rooftop deck. There’s also a flexible subletting policy, and garage parking is available for a fee.
Everything you need is located in the immediate neighborhood. You’ll find ample shopping, restaurants, and gyms on nearby Montague Street, and your fair share of outdoor space thanks to nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 3 and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. But when you do leave the neighborhood, it’ll be a breeze thanks to the ample train lines nearby, including the R, 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, and F trains.
…And Why You Might Not
This unit was converted from an alcove studio, so the setup may seem a bit odd. The French doors allow light to come through from the bedroom windows into the living room, but also separate the space in a way that might not work for everyone. However, the doors can be removed if you’d rather have an open-concept space and use the office space as a dining nook.
