Be the first to occupy this stunning 19th Century Townhouse revival.

Light pouring through the South facing entry makes this Garden two bedroom the envy of the neighborhood. Striking finishes throughout this entire home including White Oak flooring, sleek quarts countertops and backsplash, gorgeous wood cabinets with Bronzed fixtures and an original aesthetic fireplace to tie it all together.

This apartment also features dimmable high hat lighting, multiple split systems for heating/cooling and a Washer/Dryer. Each bedroom has it's own closest and the unit has its own backyard space! The bathroom design perfectly compliments the rich and modern look the rest of the home features.

Neighborhood access is at a premium with the nearby A, C, J subway lines and B7, B26 bus lines. Highly rated restaurant dining features Olmo, Cicchetti and Badaboom right off of Decatur with Associated grocery and Global Farm Marketplace both within the immediate area. Saratoga Park and kids playground is just two blocks away.
