Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
Private garden access runs from the primary suite, the second bedroom and the main living area, so the outdoor space works as an extension of the home rather than a separate patio. In the city, a private garden is a real amenity, and you'll likely use it more than you expect if the living room opens onto it every day.
The garden is laid out to hold separate areas for dining, lounging and recreation, which matters if you entertain. Glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows give the open living and dining area a direct view onto it. The open plan keeps the rooms connected, though cooking, working and relaxing share the same space.
The kitchen is finished with honed quartz countertops, custom cabinetry imported from Italy, and a set of Bertazzoni and Miele appliances, with a dishwasher included. High ceilings add volume to the main rooms, and the layout moves easily between everyday living and hosting.
The primary bath has a floating double vanity in natural oak, matte cement tile flooring and a glass-enclosed shower. Both bedrooms with garden access get plenty of light, and the third bedroom sits toward the front of the home. The apartment has walk-in closets, central air, zoned climate control and a dedicated laundry closet with a washer and dryer.
The building has an elevator and a courtyard, and it's a small, keyed building with a limited number of homes. Prospect Avenue station on the R is about 5 minutes on foot, and Detective Joseph Mayrose Park is about 4 minutes away. For groceries, Big Apple Fruits and Vegetables is about 1 minute and Marketplace by Key Food is about 2 minutes.
Does the apartment have in-unit laundry?
Yes. There is a washer and dryer in the unit.
Is there private outdoor space?
Yes. There is a private garden, over 60 square feet.
Does the building have an elevator?
Yes. The building has an elevator.
