About This Home
As of July 2021If you need proof that classic New York City living is still possible, pause. Soaring 10 foot ceilings, 5 foot windows, a private patio, two entrances, and a loft-like vibe set this unique property apart. Unit BJ is a rare maisonette with two equal sized bedrooms on opposite ends of the apartment and two impeccably renovated full bathrooms. A massive kitchen features top of the line stainless steel appliances, granite counters and charming custom cabinetry. High-end finishes include, Toto toilets, Duravit sinks, motorized shades and ductless Mitsubishi air conditioning. A total of four enormous closets and a vented W/D accentuate the convenient and luxurious character of this home. Just in time for spring, an enormous gated patio can be used for people watching, straight up vibin', and safe frolicking for people of all ages (and their pets).
Past meets present at the St. John's Condominium, a restored and renovated 1904 school building. A live-in super, bike storage, low common charges, and room to grow make this wonderful property ideal for a variety of uses. 259 21st Street is perfectly located in the heart of serene Greenwood, minutes from the fabulous 5th Avenue dining and entertainment district (Korzo, Nostro, Quarter Bar, Roots, Yardsale, Southside Coffee, Battle Hill Tavern), the R train at Prospect Avenue, Green-Wood Cemetery, PS 295, New Voices, MS 88, PS 10, Brooklyn Prospect Charter, and the Hellenic Charter School.
