535 Dean Street, 412

Residence #412 at 535 Dean Street is a converted 2 BR, 1 Bath condominium which features an open floorplan that creates a loft-like spatial feeling. The apartment is sun-filled and airy, with a flexible 1,107 square feet of living space. This stunning home represents the best of loft living at the iconic Newswalk building in Prospect Heights. Upon entering, you are sure to be impressed by the expansiveness of the home. Architecturally designed and reconfigured from the once open loft space to a flexible and functional layout. With 12-foot ceilings and a wall of windows, the loft maintains a sense of open space and light while accommodating a flexible living style. This apartment incorporates a one-of-a-kind design that uses angles to create a dynamic space. Enter into a striking foyer complete with a walk-in coat closet, which could easily house a future washer/ dryer. The front bedroom, currently used as a kid's room, has been artfully carved out near the entrance to provide privacy and includes spacious built-in closets. The primary bedroom was imaginatively conceived and exemplifies this well-executed renovation adopting moving walls inspired by Japanese screens to create flexibility within the ample loft space—the apartment centers around a floating loft mezzanine, currently used as a home office and storage area. Entertain and cook in the large open chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ample maple cabinets, granite countertops, and a butcher-block island. Known as NEWSWALK, 535 Dean Street, originally built in 1927, was once the printing facility for the New York Daily News. Converted in 2002, it is now in the top tier of full-service buildings in Brooklyn. Features include a 24-hour door person, refreshed front landscaped front courtyard, upgraded lobby, a massive 16,000 square foot 2-tiered professionally landscaped roof deck, and a large wet bar, bathroom, BBQ Grills, picnic tables, lounge chairs, Wi-Fi, and children's playground. Newswalk is in the heart of the new "Pacific Heights" mixed-use development with 8 acres of open green space, including a new middle school. Additional amenities include indoor valet parking, Zip cars on-premises, bike storage, and a fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, including a Peloton Bike. The modest maintenance charges speak volumes of this building's excellent condition and effective property management. Note that the maintenance charges include heating and water costs for the residence. The surrounding neighborhood's cultural crown jewels — the newly coined BAM Cultural District, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the new "Open Streets on Vanderbilt Avenue" — are all minutes away. The Barclay Center, home to the Brooklyn Nets and great entertainment year-round, is also within walking distance. As far as transportation, you are in the hub of it all, near the Atlantic center with the LIRR and practically all train lines (2, 3, 4, 5, D, B, Q, N, R, M).
