385 East 18th St. #6B

This sunny top-floor two-bedroom has wonderful leafy views and plenty of charming pre-war details. A gracious foyer lends elegance and flow to the space and is a great venue for built-in bookshelves or a home office?or both!. Through an archway is the large, light-filled living room, which can easily accommodate both a living and dining area. A hallway, also off the foyer, leads to a windowed European-style galley kitchen where the current owner, a serious baker, has made good use of the ample counter space and great cabinet storage. The kitchen’s thoughtful design incorporates a sleek Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, an under-cabinet microwave, an undermount sink, and a dishwasher. Down the hall is a spacious master bedroom that has a beautiful corner window and a roomy double closet with a custom storage system and above-closet storage. A sweet, cheerful second bedroom also has above-closet storage plus some lovely architectural elements including a bay picture window. Hardwood parquet floors, ceiling fans, deep closets, and a big, bright windowed full bath are among the nice features of this apartment. A well-kept art deco building, 385 East 18th Street is in the heart of Ditmas Park and has a live-in super, a laundry room, a playroom, storage lockers, bike storage, and a backyard. It’s close to the Q train, a short walk from Prospect Park, and steps away from the many shops, restaurants, cafes, and year-round farmer’s market on Cortelyou Road.
