1655 Flatbush Ave, A-2004

Enjoy spectacular updated interiors and private outdoor space in this expansive, high-floor home in one of Brooklyn's most esteemed cooperatives. Completely renovated in 2018, this Junior 4 welcomes you inside with modern bamboo floors, tall ceilings and extraordinary southern sunlight. Stretching nearly 30 feet long, the bright living room provides a generous footprint for lavish seating and dining areas, or step out to the private terrace for jaw-dropping views that stretch all the way to Coney Island and Friday night summer fireworks. Spectacular sunsets, urban gardening and al fresco dining are all possible on this outdoor oasis. Located high on the 20th floor, enjoy this apartment's stunning unobstructed panoramic views. The renovated gourmet kitchen gleams with brand-new floor tile and quartz countertops with silver and blue marbling. The breakfast bar and eat-in area welcome casual meals, and chefs will love the stainless steel appliances, including an LG refrigerator and a range, dishwasher and built-in microwave by Samsung. Sleep soundly in the large primary bedroom featuring two enormous closets and more panoramic postcard views. A built-in Murphy bed allows the second bedroom to function as a perfect sleeping space, home office, or both. Inside the renovated bathroom, you'll enjoy new tile and a convenient storage nook/vanity area that's far more accessible than the outside linen closet found in other units. Two more oversized closets ensure storage will never be a concern in this outstanding Brooklyn sanctuary.
