Forte at 230 Ashland Pl. #23D

This sunny high-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium features amazing views stretching from the Verrazano Bridge to the Manhattan skyline. The apartment features a large living room, which combined with the contemporary suburban-sized kitchen featuring a new French-door refrigerator and sleek subway tile backsplash, makes a perfect spot for entertaining. There is also a new full size stackable washer/dryer, great closet space, high-speed internet, wall-to-wall oversized windows, and beautiful floors throughout.
Nestled at the edge of the historic brownstone district of Fort Greene, at the north end of the expanding Bam Cultural Center, and just a breath away from the beautiful Fort Greene Park, the Forte features a 24-hour doorman, concierge service, live-in super, complimentary (recently renovated) gym, and manicured courtyard. It is in an exceptionally well-maintained full service luxury building that has a 421-A tax abatement expiring in 2023. With only four residences per floor, you will have the feeling of privacy. Best of all is the furnished roof terrace with community herb gardens and breathtaking 360 panoramic views that will let you experience amazing sunrises and sunsets, Fourth of July fireworks, and the Manhattan skyline.
The apartment is a commuters dream, including nearby Atlantic Terminal (home to 11 subway lines, the Long Island Railroad, a new suburban style shopping mall). Also nearby is Mark Morris Dance Studio, the new Barclay Center, and soon to be open Apple Store and Whole Foods. The Brooklyn Academy of Music Cultural Center located practically at your doorstep is one of the most innovative centers for the arts, and many new restaurants are opening nearby. Also across the street is the just opened Gotham Food Market, and just blocks away is the recently opened City Point shopping, dining and entertainment center (including Alamo Drafthouse, a movie theater and expansive food hall). In short, this is the new Brooklyn at its best: historic and vibrant; earnest and hip; proud and visionary; diverse and inclusive. This property makes for the perfect investment property, pied-a-terre, or a place to call home.
