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 lower level has a recreation room nearly 56 feet long, and that size is what sets this duplex apart. It can work as a media lounge, a playroom, a home gym or a second space for hosting, and the layout leaves room for several of those uses at once. At 2,302 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home spreads out across two levels.

The main level has white oak hardwood floors throughout. The living room runs into a kitchen and dining area, and the kitchen has custom cabinetry, a Fisher & Paykel appliance package and a center island with seating. The three bedrooms sit toward the rear, which I like because it keeps the living and entertaining side of the floor apart from the sleeping rooms. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom.

A private garden is a real amenity in the city, and this residence has two outdoor areas. A 318-square-foot courtyard runs along the side of the home for dining and lounging, and a 240-square-foot landscaped yard sits at the rear. The washer and dryer are on the lower level with additional storage, so laundry stays inside the residence.

The listing describes the home as having the scale of a townhouse with the convenience of a condominium, and that's a fair way to put it. Condo ownership works under a different framework than a co-op, so the offering plan is worth reading closely, and the stairs between the two levels are part of daily life here. Prospect Park is about 4 minutes away on foot, the 7 Av station for the F and G is about 5 minutes, and Food Train is about 8 minutes for groceries.
