262 Bond Street, 1-R

The pet-friendly apartment that lives like a house. There's plenty of room to roam in this 2,008 square-foot duplex condo, in what was formerly an electrical warehouse. Big windows, spacious common areas, a flowing floor plan, low taxes/common charges, and two outdoor areas make this one-of-a-kind place an incredible home. On the first floor brick walls and original architectural details reflect the history of the space and help provide its unique feel. On this floor, you'll find a large living/dining area with a tiled Italian porcelain floor, large windows that look onto a shared outdoor atrium, and a half bath. You will also find the contemporary kitchen boasting subway tile, stainless steel appliances, two ovens, Cambria solid surface countertops, and a built-in 56-bottle wine refrigerator. There's also an abundance of storage space and a full-sized washer/dryer tucked into a closet. Upstairs you'll find a flexible layout that allows you to make the space your own. Large windows and skylights provide day-long light, though there are solar and blackout shades to guarantee a good night's sleep. There are also two full baths, both equipped with a Toto dual flush toilet. One bathroom boasts a Jacuzzi tub; the other has a walk-in marble shower. Another level up you'll find your own private roof deck. Almost 650 square feet, the deck is large enough for a dining table, lounge chairs, and a grill. A concealed shed provides storage space for all kinds of seasonal equipment. And electric, gas, and water lines have all been installed for easy entertaining. Incredibly low common charges (only $300/month) pay for overarching building insurance and water and irrigation in both the atrium and on the roof. Taxes are a low $4500 per year. One of the first residential buildings in Brooklyn to be certified LEED, the apartment has incredibly low utility bills, reflecting the building's high environmentally-friendly standards. Energy-efficient HVAC and heating systems give you complete control over both summer and winter temperatures. And, of course, all the mechanicals are in top shape and have been carefully maintained and serviced. The apartment is centrally located in Gowanus, one of the hottest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. It's close to the F/G subway lines, and all of the restaurants and shopping that Smith Street, Court Street, and Atlantic Ave have to offer, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Sahadi's, Ample Hills Creamery and Royal Palm Shuffle Board Club. Words can't do this space justice. Come see it for yourself! Note: currently configured as a 1 bedroom
