221 5th Ave, 5-B

In the heart of the North Slope, this wonderful apartment offers great space, beautiful light and fantastic views, PLUS AN ENORMOUS ROOF DECK just for the use of the two, top floor apartments! When you enter this lovely home you are greeted by 16 foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with an exposed brick mantel, and oversized, west-facing bay windows that bring in spectacular light and offer views for miles, including those of the Manhattan skyline. The layout easily offers space for a dining area, while the renovated kitchen has custom, double-height cherry cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, an abundance of storage space, and skylights that flood natural light into the center of the apartment, no matter the time of day. The windowed bathroom, which separates the bedrooms from the living space, has marble floors and modern fixtures. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, with the master bedroom featuring a wall of closets and overlooking the lush gardens below, while the second bedroom has two skylights and plenty of space for a queen bed and additional furniture. High ceilings and hardwood floors carry throughout the apartment and closet space is plentiful. Best of all, just in time for summer, the large roof deck, shared only with the other top-floor unit, showcases 360 degree views of Manhattan and Brooklyn and is a perfect place to entertain, relax, watch fireworks, or dine outdoors. 221 5th Ave is a 10-unit coop building with additional storage and laundry in the basement. In the middle of amazing shops and restaurants and just a few blocks from Prospect Park, this well maintained building is also one block from the R train at Union Street, and minutes from Barclays Center and a dozen subway lines. The location is superb! (Cats allowed. Sorry,no dogs.)
