.Living the Dream on the Windsor Terrace-Kensington Border! High-floor living at its best! This exceptional, generously proportioned apartment offers breathtaking, wide-open treetop views, a spectacular 180-degree panorama of Brooklyn, and, at night, Manhattan's sparkling lights. Peaceful, quiet, and filled with natural beauty, this is truly a special place to call home. The spacious layout features a substantial L-shaped living room and a beautifully renovated, open-plan kitchen that flows seamlessly into a dining area and out to your enormous 18' x 6' private balcony. This is entertaining and everyday living at its finest! Imagine morning coffee surrounded by greenery, dinner parties under the stars, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine while enjoying the evening air. Plenty of room for outdoor furniture, plants, and flowers. You'll be amazed by just how quiet it is, and there's nothing quite like watching Prospect Park and the surrounding foliage come alive each spring. The modern pass-through kitchen features light-colored cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and luxurious brown granite countertops. The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a dinner party of six to eight. The enormous bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, dresser, armoire, and more, with a huge closet to match. Storage throughout the apartment is exceptional, including a double closet outside the bedroom and a HUGE walk-in closet just to the left of the entrance-large enough for bikes and so much more. You'll never run out of storage! The bathroom features attractive brown stone-look tile and a large soaking tub. Caton Towers is arguably the best full-service building in the neighborhood, offering a 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent. Ideally located near the F and G trains, with the Q and B also within easy reach. The express bus stops right on the corner, offering approximately 15-minute service to Wall Street. It's like your own private bus service for those evenings when you've enjoyed your favorite Broadway show. Just five minutes from magnificent Prospect Park, you can also hop on your bike and explore America's oldest bike path along Ocean Parkway, all the way to Coney Island and beyond. And when it comes to dining and neighborhood charm, you're surrounded by wonderful restaurants and cafes, including Der Pioneer, Wheated, Hamilton's, Brancaccio's, Parade, Steeplechase Coffee, and Thai Farm, just to name a few. A spectacular apartment, extraordinary outdoor space, incredible views, and a wonderful neighborhood. Pets welcome!
