Architectural details abound -- custom millwork, an enormous skylight that bathes the kitchen in light, soaring ceilings, a spiral staircase, and oversized windows providing the kind of Manhattan views people dream of having.
A welcoming bamboo-lined foyer (with the first of 5 spacious closets) invites you into the space, where you'll be bowled over by the expansive open dining and living areas with a wood burning fireplace, phenomenal views of the Empire State building and Manhattan skyline, and deep window seats where you can spend hours looking out over the neighborhood.
The bright and open, renovated kitchen is a dream. Flooded with natural light all day, it has wraparound Caesarstone counters, Moroccan tile and custom oak cabinetry. The stainless-steel appliances include a Fisher&Paykel refrigerator, Bosch stove and silent dishwasher.
The bright, renovated bathroom has modern fixtures, including a Kohler soaking tub and Duravit sink, and deep storage. An in-unit washer and dryer are discreetly tucked into the adjacent closet.
The primary bedroom, separated from the living space by beautiful bamboo-paneled pocket doors, is king-sized. Its generous proportions are completed by an oversized south-facing window that fills the room with warm light. Exposed brick adds rustic charm, while an enormous walk-in closet is cleverly concealed behind the bed.
Open and airy, the second bedroom is incredibly well proportioned. It features built-in oak bookshelves and is illuminated by the skylight that infuses the room with lovely light. Two deep closets provide more great storage space.
Stairs off the entry lead to your perfect home office. Slightly secluded from the rest of the apartment, the office could also be used as a guest room or workout space.
Throughout the apartment you'll find lovely hardwood floors and Mitsubishi ductless mini-splits for air conditioning.
Last, but certainly not least, the apartment comes with roof rights measuring over 1100 square feet. Create your dream deck and spend the warm months relaxing, dining al fresco and entertaining as you enjoy views over brownstone Brooklyn and across to Manhattan.
