144 Park Place, 1

THIS IS IT! Finally, a renovated prime Park Slope duplex with an enormous private garden and incomparably low monthly maintenance of just $491. Enter the beautifully bright upper level of the duplex at 144 Park Place to find a wide-open, perfectly symmetrical living/dining room with clearly defined spaces for both living and dining areas. Graced with a working wood-burning fireplace lined with gorgeous exposed brick, the room flows seamlessly into the open kitchen with its breakfast bar overlooking the dining area. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances and black granite countertops. Down the hall beyond the sparkling bathroom with its full tub lies both south-facing bedrooms. Bathed in afternoon sunlight, each bedroom is supremely quiet and private as they face directly onto your nearly 50 foot deep private garden, entirely free of street noise or passersby. Exit the primary bedroom to your massive, south-facing two-level private garden spanning 49 feet. There are two stone patio areas, a rich lawn and gorgeous flowerbeds. The owners have installed a fully hassle-free drip system on a timer to maintain the garden you've always dreamt of without constant watering. Perhaps the surprise star of the show, the lower level's recreation room presents endless opportunities: multiple home offices, a gym, screening room or excess storage to complement the three closets upstairs are just a few of your choices and there is a separate area which already houses your washer/dryer. 144 Park Place is an intimate six-unit coop in an enviable location. While the block is quintessential Brownstone Brooklyn, it's a 30-second walk to the B/Q subway station with the 2/3 subway just a few minutes further. Meanwhile, just around the corner on Flatbush Avenue and 7th avenue, dining and shopping options abound. Prospect Park is a 5 minute walk in one direction, while the Barclay's Center and its 9 subway lines are 5 minutes in the other direction. True Brownstone Brooklyn bliss!
