About This Property

Welcome to 255 79th Street Apt. #B1

Nestled on a tree-lined residential block in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable and vibrant neighborhoods, this pre-war co-op building, built in 1928, is where classic Brooklyn character meets modern convenience.

This spacious second floor one bedroom apartment showcases the best of pre-war details including but not limited to high ceilings, parquet hardwood floors, crown moldings, and generous natural light. As you step inside, you'll first notice the separate entry foyer area leading into the large living room, which can easily accommodate both a living & dining area. As you step back into the hallway area, you'll come across the windowed galley kitchen equipped with plenty of counterspace, cabinets for all of your storage needs & stainless steel appliances. Next, the bathroom features white tiles, a pedestal sink, & glass shower doors. As you pass the capacious closet at the end of the hallway, you will come across the king sized bedroom, which allows for any of your large furniture, two sizable windows letting in lots of natural light & is equipped with two closets perfect for ample storage space.

This well-maintained 6-story elevator building features approximately 72 units and includes desirable amenities such as on-site laundry, bike storage, voice intercom, a storage room and a responsive live-in super. Pets are allowed (with size restrictions >25 lbs). Just two short blocks to the R train and three blocks to the Express Bus to Manhattan, not to mention you are a half block from 3rd avenue featuring dining, shopping, & much more. Subletting permitted after two years. This apartment is a must-see & certainly will not last!
