354 2nd St Unit A4B Brooklyn, NY 11215

Serene and spacious, with all-day light and not one but two (!) balconies: this Park Slope oasis brings together the charm of an ideal location, the joy of an airy, open layout, and the ease of condo living (with the added building benefit of deeded storage and a long-running tax abatement in place until 2031!).

An intuitive floorplan opens into an oversized living and dining room with elegant open kitchen where cooking is truly a pleasure, with a large gas range, integrated microwave, dishwasher, and suburban-sized fridge (with a stack washer-dryer to complement it, just down the hall). There is ample room and an easeful flow between the dining, kitchen, and living room, all lit by large bay windows that beckon to a perfect, tree-lined window seat.

The first of the apartment's two balconies is directly off the living room, while the second flows from the primary bedroom : ideal outdoor perches for morning coffee and reflection, or evening talks overlooking the gardens. The primary bedroom is itself large and inviting, with ample space for a desk or bureau and reading nook, and plentiful closet space (and remember, if you've got overflow, there's a whole deeded storage room that belongs to you!); the second, full-size bedroom is an ideal child's bedroom, guest room, or home office. Both view over the gardens of the complex and draw in glowing southern light. PTAC units keep the views clear and the rooms cool.

With just two units per floor, 354 2nd Street is a true boutique with a communal spirit and all the most livable amenities: elevator, deeded storage, roof terrace, and a welcoming pet policy.

Perfectly placed at the mid-block off 5th Avenue (read: ultimate convenience, maximum quiet), you're right around the corner from almost too many fabulous restaurants and coffeeshops to list. Our favorites in a five minute radius run the gamut from the NYTimes Critics Pick for South Korean food, Haenyeo, to charming New American at Stone Park Cafe, to airy all-day coffee spot, Kos Kaffe — plus of course Two Boots, Naruto Ramen, Velvette Brew, and many more. Washington Park & JJ Byrne Playground are a block away, and you're equidistant from Whole Foods and the Park Slope Food Co-op. The D/N/R trains at Union are a seven minutes walk at a Brooklyn pace, five if you still hoof it like it's Manhattan — but who's in a hurry to leave? The neighborhood has everything you need, and if you want to get a look at the city skyline, all you have to do is go up to the roof terrace. We'll meet you there!

Showings begin joyfully on June 9th.
