149 Prospect Park Southwest, 12

Recently renovated, this home captures the spirit and history of its Prospect Park location. You might even imagine, as you look out from the living room, a view of Parc Monceau in Paris. That's because the rooms have a distinct Parisian ambience of sophistication and grace. The apartment has been carefully re-designed to maximize use and flexibility while preserving the vintage finishes and details that are so pleasing to the eye. A new modern kitchen and bath complete the formula for this truly move-in ready home.

Let's start at the beginning with the colorful vestibule, created during the renovation. From the wainscoted hallway, you catch a glimpse of the living room with park views. The first room you encounter is a bedroom presently used as a soundproofed library/study, handsomely furnished with custom hardwood bookshelves. Next, off the hallway is a sparkling bathroom professionally refurbished with new fixtures including Kohler soaking bathtub, Toto toilet and extra storage. We come next to a beautifully architect-designed galley kitchen with a large window providing lots of natural light. Though a galley style, the width is generous enough to accommodate two people working together. The floor is quality cork tile, and the countertops are of a highly durable composite material that resembles stone or concrete. The appliances are current models with a Samsung stove combination convection oven and induction cooktop. The backsplashes are Carrara marble. The large pass-through window to the dining/living area can be opened or closed. The large primary bedroom adjacent to the dining area has a beautiful, coffered ceiling and original hardwood floors. The spacious front bedroom off the living room faces the park and has noise-reducing windows. The comfortable living room with park views is also fitted with noise-reducing windows.

The hardwood floors throughout the apartment have been refinished. The door frames have transom windows allowing natural light to flow from room to room.

You'll appreciate the care and attention that makes this building so desirable. There is a super on the premises; the building is environmentally friendly, having upgraded to all-electric and installed solar panels for greater energy efficiency and savings. There is bike storage and laundry facilities in the basement. A limited number of individual storage cages are also available.

Easy access to the park is the great attraction to this desirable location. You will also find everyday conveniences nearby including a full-service laundromat, the charming Elk Cafe, Prospect Park Deli, Animal Fare pet store, and Bene Pizzeria. It's a short walk to the F train Fort Hamilton stop or hop on the B68 bus that takes you the Bartel- Pritchard Circle where you'll find a full range of neighborhood shops and services.

Pets are allowed.
