From the original listing · StreetEasyShow

Make this beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bath residence your new home in the heart of Crown Heights. Occupying the top floor of a charming walk-up building, 625 Franklin Avenue #3 offers approximately 900 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space, complemented by 9’6” ceilings, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light.

A generous living and dining area provides an inviting setting for relaxing and entertaining, while a skylit entry adds to the home’s bright, airy atmosphere. The adjoining windowed kitchen features white Shaker cabinetry, stone countertops, a white-and-gray tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, gas range, and microwave.

Positioned away from the main living area, both front facing bedrooms feature closet storage, with an exposed-brick accent wall bringing warmth and classic Brooklyn character to one. Two renovated full bathrooms offer contemporary finishes, with a glass-enclosed shower in one and a bathtub in the other. An in-unit washer and dryer, along with split heating and cooling systems in the living room and both bedrooms, provide everyday convenience and year-round comfort.

Situated on Franklin Avenue between Dean and Bergen Streets, the residence places you close to the neighborhood’s vibrant collection of cafés, restaurants, independent shops, and everyday essentials.
