From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome to Residence 16B at 1401 Ocean Avenue, an exceptionally spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom home offering generous proportions, outstanding custom storage, and more than 150 square feet of private outdoor space. The oversized private balcony is perched above the surrounding neighborhood and enjoys sweeping views stretching to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the Downtown Manhattan skyline, creating an impressive backdrop from morning through evening. Inside, the residence opens into an expansive living room with plenty of room for both comfortable seating and a dedicated dining area. Just beyond, the private balcony creates a true extension of the living space and a wonderful setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. The king-sized bedroom is equally impressive in scale, offering plenty of room to create a comfortable retreat. One of the home's greatest highlights is its exceptional storage, with a total of seven custom-built closets thoughtfully positioned throughout the apartment. Three closets are located within the bedroom alone, while a dedicated coat and shoe closet conveniently greets you upon entry and a separate linen closet provides additional organization. With a place for everything, storage is truly abundant throughout this home. Premier House is one of Midwood's most well maintained, close knit communities, offering an impressive collection of amenities. Residents are welcomed through a beautifully maintained lobby and foyer, complete with a community lending library where neighbors can leave, exchange, and enjoy books. A 24 hour doorman and live-in superintendent provide added convenience, while a large, windowed, card operated laundry room makes everyday living easy. Parking is also available for $200/m (currently there is a waitlist). Outdoor amenities are a standout at Premier House. The expansive rear courtyard offers a playground, basketball court, and tables and chairs for residents to gather, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Above it all, the rooftop becomes a summertime destination of its own with a large heated swimming pool surrounded by lounge chairs for sunbathing, separate men's and women's shower and changing facilities, and lifeguard service during operating hours. Ideally situated in Midwood, 1401 Ocean Avenue offers convenient access to neighborhood restaurants, cafes, shopping, and everyday essentials, with additional dining and entertainment options throughout nearby Ditmas Park. Transportation is easily accessible via the B and Q trains at Avenue J and Avenue H, the 2 and 5 trains at Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College, as well as the B49, B6, and B11 bus lines, providing convenient connections throughout Brooklyn and into Manhattan. Subletting is permitted with board approval after two years of ownership. Sorry, no pets permitted. Cats upon board approval. Please note there is a monthly assessment of $124.74 through December 2026.
