Straight out of a Storybook, the only landmarked Co-op in Prospect Park South comes to market on the most idyllic, tree-lined street in all of Brooklyn.
Unit: A labor of love, the owners completely customized the space stripping away years of neglect: sanding doors, refinishing hardwood floors, installing new windows throughout, creating a cook's kitchen with butcher block counter tops and oversized cabinetry, formalizing the dining area, and refashioning the bathroom with a separate shower and claw bathtub, to name a few of the many upgrades. You can't help but appreciate the attention to detail and the thoughtfulness of this restoration, accented perfectly by 5 closets and a private terrace encased with foliage.
Building: This landmarked co-op welcomes pets, has a recently updated laundry room, bike room, super on premises, and a newly installed dual fuel burner, increasing efficiency. Allowed, case by case: Gifts, Co-purchase, Parents buying, Pied-a-Terre.
Neighborhood: Grab a drink and a bouquet of flowers at the local bar/flower shop, Sycamore; enjoy delicious farm to table fare at The Farm on Adderly (a personal favorite!); join a writers workshop or catch a children's music class at Lark; be spoiled by the close proximity of 5 grocery stores including the Flatbush Food Co-op, plus 4 subway lines (F,G,B,Q); and the best perk of all, Prospect Park for playgrounds, jogging, strolling, skating, the zoo, and more, gives this story a perfect ending.
Every so often, a unit of this caliber comes to market with well-deserved fanfare: a turn-key renovation, generous indoor/outdoor space, and a location to die for! An Oscar nominated neighbor summed it up best, "I love living somewhere that feels like the suburbs but is next to an express train."
The End.
