From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

A condo opportunity this good deserves a closer look! This Prime Kensington apartment in a classic Pre-War building was thoroughly renovated 4 years ago, and the owners were taking great care of it before putting it on the market. The layout is efficient: no wasted space, with southern and northern exposures. This residence features rich, wide plank hardwood floors throughout, custom millwork, 8 1/2 FT ceilings, clean, minimalistic cabinetry, hardware and fixtures, high-grade stainless steel appliances, and in-unit laundry. You will appreciate the kitchen peninsula with generous Quartz countertops and an under-mount sink. There are a total of 4 closets; heat, hot and cold water are included in the low common charges. The two bedrooms are nearly identical in size, and each one has its own wide closet. Residents enjoy a beautifully landscaped courtyard and bike storage. Common laundry is available as well. The charming Art Deco lobby was recently updated, and the entrance was equipped with video intercom. Over the past 4 years there was a major shift towards increased owner occupancy and stepping up the efforts to improve the visual appearance of the condo. The Commodore is surrounded by picturesque, tree-lined Victorian blocks rich in history and landmark architecture, while offering easy access to recreation and neighborhood conveniences. Enjoy proximity to Prospect Park, Newkirk Plaza, Ocean Parkway's bike trails, and Cortelyou Road's growing collection of restaurants, bars, and shops. The closest subway station is Ditmas Ave of the F, and the 2nd closest is Cortelyou Rd of the Q. Make it a priority to see this great unit soon while it is still available.
