About This Home
Step into a bright and spacious sanctuary with this remarkable home.
Presently configured as a 2-bedroom, this serene Junior 4 (legally a 1-bedroom) corner apartment spans 850 square feet and offers a perfect blend of modern style, ample storage, and comfort.
Upon entry, you're welcomed by the elegance of Kahrs Swedish hardwood floors, which seamlessly flow throughout the space. The inviting foyer features two large closets of five total throughout the home, ensuring ample storage for your needs.
The foyer leads into a sunlit living/dining area, exceeding 25 feet in length. With a Western exposure, you'll enjoy picturesque views of Downtown Brooklyn above the lush tree canopy surrounding the property. French bi-fold doors open into a versatile secondary bedroom/office, which conveniently connects to the kitchen with a pocket door.
The kitchen is a chef's dream, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel double drawer dishwasher. It features an Aquasana water filtration system, full-height shaker-style cabinets with soft-close technology & undermount LED lighting, a white subway tile backsplash, and exquisite London Gray Caesarstone countertops.
The primary bedroom offers a sense of grandeur at 200 square feet, with dual exposures (Western & Northern) offering vistas of the East River and Williamsburg Bridge. It includes two spacious closets and can easily fit a king-sized bedroom set alongside a work-from-home area.
The bathroom is fully tiled and vented, echoing the kitchen's high-quality finishes, and has a new large mirrored medicine cabinet & vanity.
With recently upgraded baseboard heating and efficient wall A/C units, this home ensures comfort throughout the seasons.

These include 24-hour security, a package room, a refurbished fitness facility, a new Resident's Lounge, and a modern laundry room. Additional amenities include on-site parking, bike and storage spaces, playgrounds, and a lush BBQ area.
Recent upgrades to the cooperative include a multi-million dollar renovation of the parking lot with LED lighting and new custom double-pane windows. Upcoming projects plan to enhance the interior spaces and modernize elevators. With excellent fiscal health, the cooperative offers a generous sublet policy after two years of ownership and allows co-purchasing, parental purchases, and gifting.
