225 Baltic Street, 1-R

Prepare to be charmed.

Nestled in the quintessential brownstone neighborhood of Cobble Hill-and on one its most beautiful and historic blocks-is Apartment 1R at 225 Baltic Street. This serene two-bedroom, one bathroom co-op, with private rear, two-level deck has been thoughtfully renovated from head-to-toe. Just move right in.

Located on the parlor level of the building, 1R features western and northern exposures and offers all-day light and views of blooming magnolia trees and the surrounding gardens. You'll see that nothing has been overlooked in this fine renovation. Upon entering, you're welcomed into a proper entryway, perfect for hanging coats and placing shoes, as well as clever storage built-ins above. To your left is the zen and windowed bathroom that features abundant cabinet space, glass hexagonal tile flooring and a soaking tub with shower. As you head back through the entryway, built-in closets flank you on either side.

Natural light floods in through the west-facing windows of the open kitchen, living and dining plan. The clean oak floors have been meticulously replaced and refinished, and add to the overall bright feel of the space. The kitchen is any chef's dream, including all-new everything: a stainless steel 5-burner GE gas range, a Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, a Broan ventilation hood and a Sharp microwave. The kitchen island has a granite countertop, a deep dual basin sink, abundant storage space, shelving and even bead boarding to give it that country-kitchen feel.

On the far side of the living space is an exposed brick wall with a decorative fireplace, which makes it the perfect area for entertaining and relaxing. There's even an ideal nook for an at-home office. Both the dining area and kitchen have direct views of the leafy trees and blooming flowers of the neighboring gardens. Not to be overlooked are the truly spectacular lighting fixtures and lighting design (the owner is an architectural lighting designer) throughout, which add to the overall warmth and comforting feeing of the home. Off of this main room are both bedrooms, which are pin drop quiet and face the outdoor deck and nearby gardens. The smaller of the two bedrooms is on your left and is an ideal nursery or home office and includes a sizable closet with a glassed-mullioned door. The airy primary bedroom is to your right and includes a built-in closet with sliding doors.

Through the primary bedroom is the ultimate sanctuary: your own private and fenced in two-level deck and backyard area. Everything is newly built and stained with an ingenious sense of design. Step down to the built-in L-shaped, bench dining area to your right with space already carved out for a planter. All the seating and decked areas are made with top-of-the-line, environmentally conscious Thermory decking-untreated with chemicals and will age naturally. Descend to the lower level, which is covered in pea gravel and offers an abundant area for seating. You'll find it hard to leave this outdoor oasis as it will quickly become the place for dining al fresco, entertaining and enjoying a relaxing read with a cocktail or your morning coffee.

In addition to the above, this thoughtful renovation includes new windows throughout, a Mitsubishi central AC system, and all new electrical and plumbing, as well as a dedicated storage area in the basement.

225 Baltic Street is a well-maintained, self-managed 8-unit co-op with no underlying mortgage. Shared (FREE) laundry in basement. Cats are OK. NO DOGS or SUBLETTING.
There's nothing quite like Apartment 1R on the market. With incredibly low monthly maintenance, a full-renovation, and idyllic environment with proximity to everything Cobble Hill offers, don't hesitate to come and see this beautiful home today.
