560 State Street, 4-A

Must see this one! An oasis of total calm amidst the busy Atlantic Terminal area with a mews-style courtyard landscaped with flowering trees home to the Spring birds, gas lamps and a barbeque set-up, you will not leave home! But if you do, 13 subway lines (2,3,4,5,A,B,C,D,F,G N,Q, and R) and LIRR within a 1 to 5-minute walks will get you to most parts of Manhattan faster than if you actually lived in Manhattan! But then again, with BAM Cultural District, Prospect Park, the Botanical Garden of Park Slope, the Public Library, and top-rated restaurants and mall shopping within a 15-minute walk, you may not even want to go to Manhattan! The pre-war apartment itself is uniquely double exposed (north and south), and fabulously spacious with 10.5 foot ceilings, a HUGE 25-foot living room that gets the winter sun right on your sofa, an office nook, and storage, storage, storage, storage and storage! (where in NYC do you get 5 closets and a separate store room in an apartment?). Private central heating/cooling controls, sparkling appliances, and noise-isolating/thermally-insulating double glass windows make the home cosy and quiet. Yes, this is the same 560 State Street that Jay-Z lived at and sang about in Empire State of Mind. You really should check it out! There is no comparison to the multi-storeyed towers of corporate-managed anonymous apartments! You will want to live here forever! Indeed, the private landlord is looking for a long-term and friendly tenant-landlord relationship.
