120 Prospect Park West, 2

NEW SEASON...NEW PRICE! The trees are blooming across the street in Prospect Park at this rarely available -- approx. 2,000 sf -- sprawling two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath duplex apartment. Converted from a single-family mansion, the four-unit self-managed co-op is gracious and stately. Apartment Two is situated on the parlor floor and, as such, boasts gloriously high ceilings, lovely flow from room to room, and copious amounts of 19th-century craftsmanship. Enter the building through a palatial foyer, beyond which this apartment begins. A formal dining room greets you and features a decorative fireplace and mantel and a wall of floor-to-ceiling sliding-glass bookcases. The center living room has another monumental fireplace and mantel and leaded glass cabinetry. Parquet floors with decorative borders enhance the elegance of these two rooms. The rear windowed kitchen has ceiling-high maple cabinets and an efficient design. A powder room is conveniently tucked away on this level, as well, making this floor well suited for lounging and/or entertaining friends. Up the interior spiral stair is a massive galley that could serve as home office or playroom and creates a graceful transition between two wings of bedrooms and baths. On one side is an extra-large master bedroom approached through two walls of closets and has a sunny windowed bay for quiet reflection, as well as three additional closets with stunning bird's-eye maple doors. The bathroom on this side is roomy enough for ablutions and the full-sized washer and dryer. It features an original stained-glass double-hung window, another vestige of the building's Victorian heritage. The other side of the floor accommodates another spacious bathroom and rear-facing bedroom, through which a sweet terrace -- large enough for a table and chairs or chaise lounge and potted annuals -- is accessed. Don't miss this glorious home on the park!
