From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome home to Flagg Court, an iconic pre-war elevator cooperative on a peaceful, tree-lined block in prime Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Spanning 825 square feet, this bright 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence perfectly combines timeless pre-war charm with modern updates. In a rare layout feature, every room-including the kitchen and bathroom-has its own window, flooding the home with exceptional natural light and pleasant neighborhood views. The welcoming interior of this pre-war, fireproof building showcases lovely original molding, hardwood floors, 4 total closets, and a windowed, open-plan kitchen with timeless cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a dishwasher. Living here offers unbeatable financial predictability. The monthly maintenance is exactly $1,654.22 and includes all utilities-meaning electricity, cooking gas, heat, water, hot water, sewer, and real estate taxes are completely covered. For primary residents, this value can be enhanced by the NYC Co-op Tax Abatement, NYS STAR credit, and NYC property tax exemptions including SCHE, DHE, and/or Veterans exemptions for qualified buyers. Amenities include intercom-locked entry, elegant lobbies, an intercom system, a live-in super, pristine laundry rooms, a manicured courtyard garden, storage units for $75/month, and on-site parking for $230/month (via waitlist). The co-op is pet-friendly and allows subletting after 2 years. Nestled in a highly desirable education zone for PS 102 (The Bay View), you are just 2 blocks from the greenery of Owl's Head Park and moments from Bay Ridge's vibrant cafes, boutiques, and dining. Commuting is effortless with a short walk to the 77th Street R train station, short commute to the Manhattan Express Bus, and quick local access to both the B37 and B63 bus lines. The board requires a 20 percent minimum down payment, and a $1,500 flip tax is to be fully paid by the seller upon sale.
