85 Livingston Street, 17-EF

Maintenance is 50% tax deductible and includes 24HR doorman & live-in Super. Now that home has become more important than ever, why not live large in a home with space and views that exceed expectation, in one of THE most convenient locations in all of Brooklyn. Unit 17EF is the combination of two apartments in a full-time doorman building at the intersection of three incredible neighborhoods; Brooklyn Heights Boerum Hill and Downtown Brooklyn. With every single subway line at your doorstop, plus a parking garage in the building, there could not be an easier place to call home. Get packages delivered to the 24-hour doorman or step out your door to a collection of amenities rivaled by no other location on Brooklyn. Shops, grocers, parks, fitness options, restaurants, schools and cocktails in every direction including Sahadi's, Trader Joes, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Perelandra, and Colonie Restaurant, to name a few. At approx. 1375 SF, this 2-bedroom, 2 bath home with a large home office (easily could be used as a three-bedroom), plus a formal living room AND a formal dining room, all facing South on the top floor of a 17-story building with three elevators, far surpasses any 2-bedroom on the market in terms of space, amenities and views. Recently renovated and complete with central AC and a fantastic laundry room and wet bar. Your first surprise upon entering will be world-class views facing South and West towards the East River and the Brooklyn skyline, all the way to the Verrazano Bridge and Governor’s Island. When you come back to earth, the newly renovated kitchen welcomes you home complete with new maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a suite of sleek dark gray GE Café Series’ appliances. For the inner chef, indulge in an oversized pantry and cooking island with additional storage. A newly renovated bath with porcelain floor mosaics and a glass-enclosed shower is large enough for a bench and offers the luxury of Grohe fixtures, including a thermostatic shower. Entertain at a large dining table in the light-infused dining room, or lounge in the equally luminous living room, both with views for miles. The apartment is artfully divided into public and private space. Head through the living space into the bedroom and office wing where you will find two sunny bedrooms, also facing due South, including a primary bedroom with an oversized closet. A set of oversized sliding doors opposite the bedrooms provides you with a large home office area that can be closed off for privacy or left open for a more open work or play environment, or guest room. Behind a closet door you will love the hidden kitchenette that includes a discrete fridge, freezer and sink, plus your full-sized washer and dryer and additional area for folding and putting away your laundry items. Work or play from home with comfort and flexibility. There is even a 2nd entrance into the apartment through the office if you want to “pretend” that you are going to the office everyday. The second full bath in the bedroom wing is also newly renovated, but offers a tub instead of a shower, and a soothing palette of oversized gray and porcelain tiles, a Toto toilet and Grohe fixtures. This well-run, pet friendly coop has excellent building financials and offers a basement parking garage with spaces for rent, live-in super, 24-hour doorman, and a location that can’t be beat to indulge any of your desires. The sheer square footage of this home cannot be beat, but when you add in the light, views, and condition, it’s a not-to-missed opportunity. Subletting and parents buying for kids is allowed.
