659 41st Street, 2-B

Beautiful, pre-war, 4 room apartment (currently configured as a 2 bedroom) with excellent closet space plus a large storage unit. Large windowed eat in kitchen, windowed bath and south facing front rooms (facing the court yard) in one of the best run, self-managed co-ops in Sunset Park. Open northern views to downtown Brooklyn and NYC from kitchen, bedroom and bath. Well proportioned rooms. Great closets including a walk-in closet, plus 3 other closets and 3 extra overhead storage closets, plus a storage "room" (approx 8'x4'x8') in the basement. Beautiful hardwood floors with the original marquetry, high ceilings, pre-war details and new windows all features. This co-op was the first to go solar in Brooklyn which results in energy costs that are typically about 1/3 less than other wise and the positive cash-flow contributes to the reserve fund, helping to keep the maintenance low. In addition to each apartment having a large storage bin/room, co-op amenities include a large windowed laundry room with an active book trading library, a recycling bin for clothes no longer wanted and a clothesline area for those who prefer to hang dry, a large lounge/community/playroom and workout room, several communal bike storage rooms and the shareholders garden where those who have green thumbs or aspire to have them can request a plot. Many have organic gardens and there is a communal herb garden. The gardening committee is active and keeps the courtyard and front gardens in beautiful condition. The live-in super is a treasure and keeps the garbage and recycling areas in excellent condition. The co-op sits directly across from Sunset Park which offers various amenities including a wonderful Community Center featuring a fully equipped gym, computer center, yoga room, basketball, badminton, and competitive Table Tennis (ping Pong), a seasonal pool, and outdoor sports including soccer, tennis, basket ball, volleyball and toddlers play areas. Subletting not allowed except for unusual circumstances (so not investor friendly). Open House now permitted but to see the whole coop best to set an appointment.
