651 Vanderbilt St. #2J

At last, a modestly priced apartment in an exceptional Windsor Terrace elevator co-op! The Park-Vanderbilt is often described as ‘pristine’ because it is, quite frankly, pristine! Landscaped front gardens welcome you to the sparkling entry foyer and lobby, maintained by a super live-in Super on the job here for several decades, along with a staff of assistants and porters to attend to every need in this 100% owner occupied coop!

Whisk on up the dedicated elevator for the left wing, and into the perfect starter apartment!
Welcome to an oversize L-shape alcove studio, 20’ wide by 28’ deep, 560 square feet plus a huge walk-in coat closet. Step onto the parquet floor, stash your wraps, foot gear, sport equipment, etc. in the coat closet, and drop your shopping here in the dining area, large enough for a 4 seat table. Straight ahead is the massive living room with abundant wall space for your artwork and a long sofa with room left over for desk and workstation, and an adjacent wall plenty long for home entertainment screen.

Straight ahead are three large west-facing windows, with A/C unit in sleeve below so no window is blocked. The windows offer a pleasant sunny view out onto open greenery, two in the living area and a third in the ‘sleep alcove’ which is large enough to be closed off as a bedroom if that is your preference. The queen size sleep alcove segues to a dressing room with two rows of closets leading to a spacious renovated bathroom with floor and wall ceramic tile, pedestal sink, vanity lights, and cast iron tub with rain shower, and floor space for your dressing table or storage unit if desired.

Circle back to the kitchen perfectly located next to the dining area, a charming vintage kitchen reminding of the heyday of the Park-Vanderbilt, with original wood cabinets in good condition, an eye level oven and separate gas cook top, a full size dishwasher, and a brand new refrigerator added for your convenience.

You can’t buy a Windsor Terrace one-bedroom for less than $600,000, but here is a potential junior one-bedroom for much less, with all amenities included: lobby level laundry, bike storage, common garden for the enjoyment of all, and onsite parking (wait list). And the location is prime, only steps to Prospect Park and all the things that make Windsor Terrace the ideal place to live!
