Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Brooklyn LLC.
Built in 1915, this brick building on West End Avenue has two stories, a vacant storefront at street level, and the apartments above it. The home covers 2,328 square feet, has hardwood floors, and gets plenty of natural light, so the rooms feel open to the day.
The private balcony on the second floor gives you direct access to outdoor space without going down a flight. There's also a private rear garden, which is a useful outdoor space to have in the city.
The washer and dryer are already in the unit, so laundry stays inside the apartment. Private parking sits at the rear and is reached by a community driveway, and the building is listed as a green building.
The Brighton Beach station, served by the B and Q, is about 11 minutes on foot. The boardwalk and Coney Island Beach are about 7 minutes away, and Twins Market is about 4 minutes away for greengrocery.
