351 21st Street, 2-R

Perched at the crest of the street, just below the lush and beloved Greenwood Heights Cemetary, stands the Abby Court Condominium. Unit 2R is a functionally designed, one bedroom condo, situated only one flight up, on the second floor of the building, facing the rear.

Converted from an original two bedroom, the apartment was thoughtfully reconfigured to provide a more ideal living space, but the second bedroom could be reinstalled, if desired. A privacy glass door to the bedroom allows extra light to flow to the interior space. Additionally, the bedroom closet was combined with a hall closet and outfitted with moveable, custom shelving. Recessed lighting was installed throughout the unit, as well.

The L shaped, cook's kitchen features a peninsula for breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry and storage and granite countertops. The open kitchen flows into the living space for convenience of entertaining. Charming hardwood floors run throughout the unit. The clean, traditional bathroom is accented by white, subway tile and carrera marble floors.

Nestled between Park Slope to your north, Sunset Park to your south and the much admired waterfront facing the renowned Statue of Liberty, this area is accessible to many amenities that Brooklyn has to offer, such as Prospect Park, Industry City, a variety of train options including the D, N, R, W, F & G, as well as the ferry.

The building maintains healthy financials and replaced the roof and updated hallways last year. In addition, a 15 year J-51 tax abatement remains in effect until 2020, which provides $155 discount on the taxes per quarter, while common charges also remain low. Location, space and affordability make this a practical choice for a starter apartment.
