The apartment enjoys good natural sunlight throughout the day, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The generous living room provides plenty of flexibility for arranging your furniture, while the separate dining area creates a dedicated space for everyday meals or entertaining. The sleeping alcove provides separation from the main living area and can accommodate a queen-size bed. Good closet space throughout the apartment provides valuable storage, another welcome feature in a studio home. Refinished hardwood floors, porcelain tile, and an updated bathroom complete the interior. The building offers an impressive array of amenities, including a beautifully renovated lobby and hallways, modern intercom system, security cameras, laundry room, live-in superintendent, seasonal outdoor swimming pool, and an indoor parking garage with a waitlist. Monthly maintenance is just $502.80 and includes heat, hot water, and cooking gas; electric is separate. There is currently a monthly assessment of $135.85 through June 2027. A minimum 20% down payment is required. Subletting is not permitted. Cats are welcome; no dogs. There is a 5% flip tax paid by the seller. The location is another standout feature. Situated just three blocks from the Kings Highway B/Q subway station and only one block from the Kings Highway shopping district, the apartment puts transportation, restaurants, shopping, and everyday conveniences within easy reach. Target is just two blocks away, along with an extensive selection of neighborhood shops, markets, dining, and services. With approximately 550 square feet, good natural light, ample closet space, a separate dining area, seasonal swimming pool, low monthly maintenance, and an exceptionally convenient Homecrest location, this alcove studio offers an appealing combination of space, value, and amenities that's increasingly difficult to find.
