From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
Situated on the building's second floor with treetop views, this spacious one-bedroom co-op features an expansive, sun-filled living room with two exposures, warm hardwood floors, and custom radiator covers that add to the home's cottage-like charm. A cozy spot beside the windows is perfect for settling in with a book and enjoying your morning coffee in the natural light. The dedicated dining area comfortably seats six, making it an inviting setting for hosting family and friends. The galley kitchen features a new gas range, ample counter space, and abundant cabinetry. Five closets provide exceptional storage, a true rarity in NYC living. The welcoming foyer features two large closets for coats and everyday essentials, while a convenient linen closet is located just before the tiled bathroom, which includes a full-size tub. Bathed in natural light, the generously sized bedroom is a peaceful retreat with room for a king-size bed and a charming office nook. Two additional closets keep the space feeling calm and uncluttered. This well-maintained elevator building features a part-time doorman and a live-in superintendent. Amenities include two laundry rooms, storage, a bike room, a garage (currently waitlisted), and a shared outdoor space. Ideally located near restaurants and local businesses along Church Avenue and Cortelyou Road, the building is also just a short distance from Prospect Park and convenient to the B, Q, and F trains. Sorry, no pets.
