1710 Ave. H #5E

Move right in to this beautifully renovated large one bedroom apartment which we’ve called home for the past 9 years (and are very sad to leave).This high floor, corner unit boasts plenty of prewar detail, including original inlaid hardwood floors, high ceilings, generous windows, and spacious closets, and can easily be converted into a two bedroom apartment (see alternative floor plans for inspiration).

As you enter this bright and sunny apartment, you are welcomed by a separate dining area that can easily accommodate a table for 6 to 8 people, which leads to a fully renovated kitchen, with new stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, solid wood bamboo cabinets and Moroccan tile backsplash that goes all the way to the ceiling. The kitchen has plenty of storage and counters where you can cook up a storm! Next, there is an oversized living room that can easily accommodate an office (or two). The bedroom, located in the corner of the apartment, boasts northern and western exposures which allows light to flow in most of the day, and can easily be converted into two separate bedrooms. The sunny, all white bathroom has marble floors and modern fixtures.

The apartment is in a boutique co-op with 36 units, a live-in superintendent, and a lovingly well-maintained garden (by our own gardening club!). The garden has two separate dining areas, a small veggie garden and compost area. The building recently underwent a few renovations that include a brand-new intercom system with virtual doorman, new security cameras, redone facade, upgraded elevator, and our favorite feature; a brand-new state of the art boiler that runs like a charm. There is a laundry room with new machines, bicycle storage and storage units.

The building is located at the intersection of three dead end streets, making it extremely quiet and peaceful. Walk the tree-lined neighborhood on a warm summer evening and discover the amazing Victorian houses nearby.

Located just minutes from the Q at Avenue H or the B/Q at Newkirk Plaza, arrive at Union Square in 30 minutes. Within walking distance to the restaurant, bars and shopping on Newkirk and Cortelyou; some of our favorite places include: Rusty Nail, Westwood, Coffee Mob, Purple Yam, the farmer’s market on Cortelyou on Sundays, the Flatbush Food Coop, and the Public Library.

What we love about our place:
The apartment is very large for a one bedroom, and the separate kitchen and dining room make it feel even larger.

There are only 36 units in the building, so we know all of our neighbors and spend weekends grilling with them in the common yard. The gardening club keeps the grounds and common yard in beautiful shape. There’s nothing nicer than spending a spring evening just sitting out and forgetting you’re still in the city. Another favorite thing to do, especially as the days grow longer, is walking the tree lined streets in the evening and discover the amazing Victorian houses nearby.

We also love the beach and the apartment is only about a 20 min drive or 40 min bus ride to Jacob Riis park.

Buyer’s agent welcome!
