715 Ocean Parkway, 1-F

This cheerful elevated first-floor studio offers the perfect combination of efficiency, convenience, and functionality. The adorable unit features a versatile dining foyer with a large closet and an airy living area with parquet flooring, custom built-ins galore, and two exposures with three oversize windows that envelope the tranquil space with southern sunlight and gentle breezes. The galley kitchen is separate from the living area and has a dishwasher. There is also a full windowed bathroom and a dressing area with an additional closet. Set back from majestic tree-lined Ocean Parkway, the solidly constructed post-war elevator building is just steps from the F train at 18th Avenue along with shopping on McDonald Avenue.

It is also an easy bike ride or drive to both Prospect Park directly to the north and to all the attractions of Brighton Beach and Coney Island to the south. The building features a live-in super, common laundry facilities, storage (with a waiting list), and bicycle storage. Pets are not allowed.
