Four west-facing windows frame the living room and look onto the beautiful trees of South Oxford. A separate dining area leads to the kitchen, with additional space to create a home office. Beautifully renovated with custom white and walnut cabinetry, Caesarstone counters, a modern glass subway-tile backsplash, and a suite of stainless steel Bosch appliances (including a dishwasher), the kitchen offers a ton of work and storage space. The bedroom has oversized windows and a roomy closet. Also just-renovated, the bathroom is sleek and stylish with a floating vanity, a wall-mounted commode, chrome fixtures, including a "rain" showerhead, and a deep soaking tub. Lovely hardwood floors and high ceilings carry through the apartment.
On the third floor of a beautifully maintained, 20-unit pre-war, elevator coop, the building offers a clean and bright common laundry room in the basement and a recently updated video intercom system with remote capability. Around the corner from all the restaurants, coffee shops and great stores on Fulton Street, down the block from Target and Atlantic Center, two blocks from Fort Greene Park (and the Farmers' Market) and within four blocks of nearly every subway line and the LIRR, the location is unbeatable. Pet friendly too.
Quick Profile
Conveniently situated just north of the beautiful and lush Prospect Park, Fort Greene is rich with history. Representative of an aesthetic that Brooklyn is often associated with--the brownstone and row house architecture being an institution of the community--Fort Greene is decidedly singular in visual style. As part of the National Register of Historic Places, this South Brooklyn neighborhood offers unique charm and plenty of character.
Beginning with its early military-oriented inception (the territory was central to the Battle of Long Island), Fort Greene has always been recognized for its spaciousness and a sense of openness. Filled with nature and greenery, it is also home to its very own eponymously named park in addition to being in close proximity to Brooklyn’s largest recreational area, Prospect Park (containing the beloved Prospect Park Zoo within it).
Many residents come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and commute to their workplaces in Manhattan, while keeping Fort Greene as their separate haven. The diversity of the area has proven to be one of the few examples of a Brooklyn neighborhood maintaining its roots in part thanks to its protected status.
