601 East 19th Street, 6-R

This serene and sunny top-floor home in a fantastic co-op building has a graceful layout and loads of pre-war charm. Its arched entryway leads to an oversized foyer that could easily accommodate a home office. Beyond that, there is a big, bright west-facing living room and a recently renovated windowed kitchen that has quartz countertops, a glass-tiled backsplash, a stainless steel undermount sink, a dishwasher, huge pot drawers, and tons of extra storage, including an enviably deep pantry cabinet. Spacious and stylish, the windowed bathroom, also recently renovated, has both a large showerhead and a handheld shower. The master bedroom, with its western exposure and sweet treetop view, is generously sized. Sunshine streams into a pleasant second bedroom that has both west and north facing exposures. This apartment also features prewar details and hardwood floors throughout, plus six great closets.
A well-kept building, 601 E. 19th is pet friendly - dogs and cats are welcome! - and has especially good financials, high owner-occupancy, and low maintenance costs. Amenities include an elevator, live-in super, porter, two laundry rooms, and a bike room as well as on-site electronics and fabric recycling. Fios is available. Very close to the B and Q trains and the many shops, restaurants, and cafes of Newkirk Avenue, including Milk and Honey, Coffee Mob, and the Ox Tavern. A short distance from Cortelyou Road amenities and year-round farmer's market as well as Prospect Park.
