From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

It's time to look at Gowanus again. A industrial community going through a radical change into a more residential setting and this apartment is in the heart of it all. A beautiful floor through with a loft like vibe that is ready for you to make your own. Enter into the large renovated kitchen, and I do mean large. This can become the heart of the home as well as the center to any social gathering you might want to have. Big enough for any home chef with two west facing windows it's ready for anything. There is a middle room that would be a perfect office or television room. And then enter the bedroom which is big enough for a King Size bed and all the dressers and side tables you might need. Hardwood floors gleam in the morning through the eastward facing windows. This apartment is close to everything Just a few blocks from the R train at Union means it's just in between Carroll Gardens and Park Slope. But this apartment is in the epicenter of this neighborhood. Two Blocks to Whole Foods; One block from multiple restaurants including the three(!) beloved breweries (Finback, Wild East, Threes) will be mere blocks from your front door. Call to see this one today!
