Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
The renovated open kitchen has a breakfast bar that connects to both the living room and the separate dining area, so the three rooms read as one space when you want that. The dining area is the flexible piece. It can become an office, a den or an additional sleeping area, which is useful because a second room's job often changes over time.
Ceilings measure about 11 feet, and the apartment carries its pre-war origins in the details, including a skylight that brings daylight from above, brick left exposed on a wall, moldings with decorative detail, a colored glass panel over a doorway and a ladder that rolls along a library wall. The height gives the rooms a sense of volume. Ceiling height helps, but I'd still look closely at how the rooms connect before deciding.
The kitchen has soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances and ample workspace. The bathroom has two entries, one from the hallway and one from the bedroom, and it offers excellent storage. A designated basement storage cage and common laundry facilities add to the practical side, and the listing notes that washer/dryer is allowed.
The private rooftop terrace is the outdoor feature to plan around. It sits above the apartment and extends across its full footprint, and the listing names relaxing, entertaining, gardening and simply being outside as its uses. The listing also describes city, skyline, downtown and panoramic views from the home.
Transit is close. The 7 Av station, served by the F and G, is about 6 minutes on foot, and 4 Av-9 St, served by the F, G and R, is about 9 minutes. Prospect Park is a few blocks away, Washington Park is about 11 minutes on foot, and Bar Toto and Crosta are each about 1 minute away. Food Train is about 3 minutes away for groceries.
This is an eight-unit, self-managed co-op, and the listing describes its monthlies as low. Pets are permitted with board approval. Co-op purchases involve board review and building-specific financial requirements, so it's worth understanding those before you make an offer.
