Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Revived Residential.
A decorative fireplace is the one fixed feature the listing names that gives a room a clear focal point, and it sits alongside high ceilings and hardwood floors. The listing describes pre-war charm and original details, which gives the rooms a settled, classic character.
The listing also mentions ductless cooling and describes the rooms as full of natural light. Light is worth checking in person at different times of day, since that's when you'll see how the rooms really feel.
The listing describes the building as a green building. Pets are allowed and the building is smoke-free, which is useful to know before you plan around the space.
The Nostrand Avenue station on the 3 is about 4 minutes on foot, and President Street-Medgar Evers College has the 2 and 5 about 6 minutes away. Brower Park, about 7 acres, is about 7 minutes' walk, and the Brooklyn Museum is about 22 minutes on foot.
