From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Don't miss this extremely bright & sunny true one-bedroom apartment located on one of the most bucolic Prospect Heights blocks, available May 15th. This corner unit has hardwood floors throughout, a beautiful renovated windowed tiled bathroom (featuring a vintage tub and sink), and tall double-paned windows-you'll never get tired of the light flowing into your home through the multiple [Southern & Western] exposures! The apartment, only two flights up, is sun-filled and well laid-out, featuring an extra large bedroom with a sizeable closet, as well as updated electrical, plumbing & heating. The bedroom can easily fit a king-sized bedroom set plus a couch & complete office setup. Beautiful tree-top views of Brownstone Brooklyn are visible through the over-sized windows. The landlord gutted the kitchen and installed a pristine kitchen with stainless steel appliances, new white cabinets & stone countertop, but left much of the charm of the 19th century home. The building is quiet, with four units per floor. Mere minutes to the 2/3 train at Grand Army Plaza and the B/Q train at 7 Ave (only two stops 'til Manhattan) as well as an easy stroll to the LIRR & 9 trains at the Atlantic Terminal/Barclays Center. While living in this apartment, you'll enjoy being a stone's throw to all the best Brooklyn has to offer: Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, the Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza, the central branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, the Barclay's Center, as well as hot spots such as Faun, Fausto, Tom's Restaurant, Oxalis, Chavella's, Barboncino, The Social Brooklyn, Blue Marble, Chuko, and many many others (with new delights popping up seemingly every week!). Laundry is right across the street and heat/hot water are included in the rent. First month's rent ($3600) and refundable security deposit ($3600) due at lease signing; $20 credit check fee at application submission. Unit is tenant occupied, so showings require 24 hours notice. Sorry, the NO PET policy is strictly enforced. This apartment is the one of the most affordable true one bedrooms in the neighborhood, so don't delay; please reach out to schedule a viewing.
