708 8th Ave, 4-R

This stunning two bedroom, one and a half bath pre-war apartment offers a peaceful escape right in the heart of Park Slope, plus a private roof deck! Spanning the full length of the building, the apartment boasts both eastern and western exposures with treetop views and lots of light. The sunlit living room features original window millwork and a wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround. It is spacious enough for a seating area as well as a dinette set. Next to the living room is a renovated and windowed galley kitchen, featuring cool grey cabinetry paired with pristine statuary marble countertops. A stainless steel sink is complemented by a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The extra wall of pantry shelving across from the kitchen provides additional storage. The separate dining room is spacious enough for a six-seater table, includes a substantial closet, and can be converted to a third bedroom if desired (other units in the building have made the conversion). The two bedrooms are generously sized and include ample closet space, with compartments overhead providing out-of-season storage. A beautifully preserved decorative mantel is the star of the oversized master bedroom, which has treetop and cityscape views with spectacular sunsets. Both baths are bright and modern. While the full bath includes full-length cabinets and a window, the half-bath contains a vented in-unit washer/dryer. If the apartment itself wasnt enough, a private roof deck and large dedicated basement storage area are also included. The roof deck, just under a year old, features a lovely pergola and plenty of space to host gatherings, gaze at the gorgeous view, and catch fireworks throughout the summer. The private basement storage area is large enough for numerous bikes and anything else you can think of. Strollers can be conveniently hung on wall hooks on the ground floor. Featuring numerous recent updates, this eight unit co-op is pet friendly, FIOS ready, and very well maintained. With no underlying mortgage, the building maintenance covers heat, hot water, common area cleaning, and garbage/recycling removal. Perfectly situated on tree-lined 8th Avenue between 7th and 8th streets, the building is just a block away from the F/G lines and Prospect Park. One block the other way takes you to all the shops and restaurants of 7th Avenue, and just two blocks gets you to the Park Slope Library!
