About This Home

As of May 2022

Welcome home to this full-floor, two-bedroom (flexible 3-bedroom) home in a well-maintained brownstone in Flatbush. Measuring 1,000 square feet, this charming apartment is expansive and rich with original details. Take one flight up the skylit stairs and enter the space into the living room with gorgeous, south-facing bay windows. Remnants of the early 1900s accentuate the space including original hardwood flooring and ornate details. The railroad style home offers a study/den and dining area leading to the 11' × 16' oversized master bedroom. Adjacent to the living room is an additional room that can be utilized as a bedroom or home office. The windowed kitchen is newly renovated featuring a gorgeous tile backsplash, plenty of cabinetry, stainless steel appliances by Whirlpool & Frigidaire, and recessed lighting. Just down the hall is the bathroom with built-in linen closet plus additional storage space. 159 Martense is conveniently located on a tree-lined street just two blocks from the Church Avenue 2/5 subway station and 10 minutes from the B/Q subway, making it an easy minute commute to Downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan. Video surveillance has been installed for additional security. The area lends itself to grocery stores, restaurants, and is moments away from Prospect Park. No smoking allowed. Small pets allowed on a case-by-case basis.
