The Price: $349,000
The median asking price for a home in Midwood was $799,000 this July, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That means our Deal of the Week is priced at half the median asking price for the neighborhood!
Buyers who put down the 20% minimum down payment of $69,800 can expect to see monthly payments of $2,492. This includes a mortgage payment of $1,770 and a maintenance fee of $722. These payments are also less than the median asking rent in Midwood, which was $2,800 this July.
Why You’ll Love It…
The unit boasts gorgeous hardwood floors — in a parquet pattern in the living room — as well as 9-foot ceilings and lots of windows for an open, roomy feel. Another great feature is the apartment’s sheer amount of space. You’ll enter through a large tiled foyer, which can easily be used as a work-from-home area, exercise space, or simply a decorative entryway. Ornate doorways lead to the other rooms, which include a large eat-in kitchen, spacious living room, and massive bedroom.
In addition to space for a dining table, the kitchen features quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and a touchless faucet, plus full-size stainless steel appliances. Both this room and the bathroom are windowed, so you should get ample light no matter what room of the apartment you’re in. The bathroom has a full-size tub and vanity with plenty of storage.
The corner bedroom features three large windows across two walls, and has more than enough space for a queen bed and other furniture. The listing photos also show a closet in this room.
Recently renovated, this unit is located on the third floor of a pre-war co-op, with two must-haves for city living: an elevator and a laundry room. Plus, the building has a live-in super and is located right near the B and Q trains for easy commutes. You’ll find plenty of conveniences on the nearby Kings Highway, including restaurants, cafes, bakeries, gyms, shops, and a branch of the Brooklyn Public Library.
…And Why You Might Not
Unfortunately, the building doesn’t allow pets, so this apartment won’t be a good fit for fur parents. The apartment also doesn’t appear to have a dishwasher. Still, for a unit in an elevator building with so much space — at under $400K! — this one is definitely worth checking out.
