Nestled on the ground floor of an 8-unit limestone building located between 7th and 8th Streets on Eighth Avenue, this prime Park Slope coop residence offers a three-bedroom, one-bathroom layout and a lovely private garden. With approximately 1,050 square feet of interior space, 250 square feet of outdoor space, 9' high ceilings, updated bath and kitchen, new appliances, new hardwood oak floors, recessed lighting, and tasteful venetian plaster finished walls, this cheerful and lofty floor-thru home is in ready-to-move-in condition.

The gracious entry foyer welcomes you with a warm blue Lotus-pattern wallpaper by Farrow & Ball, an Italian Murano glass chandelier, and a coat closet. Note that part of this windowed room can be converted into a powder room with standard coop review and approval. To the right of the foyer are two of the three bedrooms. Immediately next door is the third bedroom, large enough to accommodate a queen size bed, with a new wool carpet, ample closets and storage area above, and a Minka Aire ceiling fan. At the end of the hallway is the largest bedroom with three oversized windows facing East, each with their original stain-glass transom windows on top, a large well-lit closet also with upper storage space, a Minka Aire ceiling fan, and tastefully reskimmed walls with a light sandstone venetian plaster finish. That bedroom is the only room with original, but sanded and varnished, Douglas Fir wood floors.The rest of the apartment has been outfitted with new 3/4-inch stained-white oakwood floors.

To the left of the foyer is the third bedroom, currently used as the master suite. It features new wool carpeting, large double-door closets with storage above, and a Kafe ceiling fan. The next-door bathroom was completely updated with Thassos white & blue marble basketweave mosaic tiles, a new vanity topped off with 5/4-inch Carrara marble top, new Kohler LED-lit vanity mirror, custom chrome-plated solid brass antique hardware, and walls refinished with alabaster venetian plaster.

The windowed open kitchen was updated a year ago and features resurfaced white KraftMaid cabinets with abundant storage space, including two corner Lazy Susans and a pull-out Reva shelf drawer; a new stainless-steel GE Side-By-Side Refrigerator with built-in ice and water dispenser; a Samsung gas range and split dual-temp oven; a KitchenAid slim microwave combined with a 700 CFM ventilation hood; a KitchenAid ultra-quiet dishwasher; a Haier Frontload combo washer/dryer unit; all wrapped around a Tuscan Granite peninsula and countertops.

The connecting living room faces West overlooking the back garden. It is everyone's favorite room to enjoy a peaceful time together while dinner is being prepped. The adjoining 250SF private garden is the second most favored "room" of the house with its overgrown Privet tree, climbing hydrangeas, Spring flowers, brick patio, and a BBQ station for grilling and al fresco dinners.

The apartment comes with a demarcated storage area in the basement spanning 35 feet long by 4 feet deep by 7 feet high. There is also communal bike room. This is a pet friendly building but no dogs.

This is a self-managed coop with excellent financials, recently updated mechanicals, and no underlying mortgage. There is some cosmetic work planned for the entrance stairs, fa ade, and a possible common roof deck. No assessments are currently planned for that work. The low maintenance of $675/mth is not expected to increase. Can you spell AFFORDABLE in this rising mortgage rate market?
