From the original listing · ZillowShow

Discover the blend of pre-war character and tasteful updates in this generously proportioned one-bedroom, set along the tranquil, tree-lined Ocean Parkway.

Inside, 9-foot ceilings and a tree-lined view provide a relaxing feel. The kitchen, renovated just a couple of years ago and beautifully maintained, features stainless steel appliances and thoughtful detailing. The windowed bathroom offers serene tile work and a deep soaking tub. The bedroom faces east, so it gets the morning light and stays cooler in the afternoon. It fits a king bed with more than ample room to walk around it, and it has two large closets.

What the photos will not tell you is how the light warmly moves through the living room late in the day.

With Prospect Park just 2 blocks away, this meticulously maintained building offers a range of amenities, including two bike rooms, a dedicated live-in superintendent, and lovely landscaped grounds. Located just two blocks from Prospect Park, with easy access to its trails, open lawns, and greenery. Commuting to Manhattan is effortless, with the F, Q, and B trains all close at hand.

With low maintenance covering heat, water, and cooking gas included, the only utility you'll pay separately is electricity. FHA loans are permitted.
