New to market -- and a PLUM location! This condominium on a prime, well-situated park block is one of five apartments that boasts modern living in a 19th-century brownstone. With 1,864 sq.ft. of interior space over two floors and a 425-sq.ft. secluded private garden, you have everything you need to spread out and live large. The first level is marriage of indoors and out. The expansive kitchen, living and dining areas are backed by a wall of glass doors, letting in the light from the garden, lush with plantings bordering a large bluestone patio. The kitchen has been upgraded with top-tier appliances, a marble backsplash, and an expansive L-shaped granite countertop with breakfast bar. The dining area has an oversized built-in banquette with storage below. The living room is extra large: your biggest sectional couch and TV will fit easily here. The primary bedroom has a large closet and a triple bay with original set-in shutters. The oak floors have been redone in a handsome light stain, framed with a cherry border. A coat closet and two newly refreshed full baths complete this level.
Down a proper flight of stairs is an expansive den with an interior windowed room -- suitable for guests, a nursery or as a study. There's a third full bath on this level, as well as a laundry room, oversized pantry/storage area and additional closets. Glass doors lead out to a narrow patio with bluestone stairs leading up to the garden. Amenities and upgrades include new HVAC (heat and cool), French drains and double sump pump, plus walls and walls of built-in shelves and cabinetry, and a washer and (new) dryer. With monthly common charges and real estate taxes totaling just under $2,000/month, this is a very affordable way to have two levels of living - indoors and out - in a perfect location in the perfect neighborhood. Here at the intersection of President Street and Prospect Park West, you'll find yourself close to express trains, the Green Market at Grand Army Plaza, the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, and Brooklyn's pride: its Museum and Botanic Garden. Access to shopping and dining on Flatbush, Vanderbilt and Seventh Avenue delivers a dizzying array of delightful choices. If you're looking for a home somewhere between an apartment and a townhouse, this is a perfect option.
