Pre-War High Floor & Pristine Jewelbox Studio in Fort Greene Doorman Building In Fort Greene’s Premier Doorman Building

Calling all savvy investors, first time buyers, Pratt Students & Parents: this is a one of a kind & rare beauty that’s not only flooded with light & spectacular views, but it’s located in a building that acts more like a condo than a coop with its friendly owner building rules so that one can sublet, have a Pied a Terre or guarantor, pets, and put 10 percent down.

The views are tremendous and you can see both the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges plus the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building too. Plus, there are tons of pre-war details including all of those luxurious details associated with a beautiful 1900s building: hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, walk-in closets, an extended long foyer/gallery and enormous leaded-pane windows.

Dominated by its wall of leaded pane windows, the apartment feels very large due to the combination of its extra-long entrance gallery plus an oversized living room which results in an overall length of 35 feet from the front-door to the bank of windows. The living room is spacious and measures over 19 feet providing plenty of room for a living room as well as a king-sized Murphy bed which is housed in a white cabinet. The open kitchen is right off the gallery with lots of cabinets, new butcher-block counter tops, and a large bar/island. There are 2 walk in closets plus the apartment has additional private storage locker in the basement. Maintenance is $496.
