Property Description for 1701 Albemarle Road, B-12
First-time buyers may be eligible for a 5.875% 30-year fixed rate for this purchase!
Palatial two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in one of the area's most sought-after, pet-friendly, co-op buildings!
Upon entering, you will know right away what separates this home from the others as there is so much space here and so many different ways to make use of it! The home has three exposures - southern, western and northern - and lots of light, with leafy green views from every window. The foyer is absolutely massive, and due to its shape and location in the apartment, can easily be used as a formal dining area or home office.
Adjacent to the foyer is a huge eat-in kitchen which is a perfect blend of open and private. There is a large area for a table, a breakfast bar, lots of counter and storage space, dishwasher, and a large window with a leafy, western view.
Across the foyer from the kitchen is the enormous living room which has southern exposures and trees right out your windows. This area is also big enough to add a formal dining space in addition to your living space should you choose to.
Down the hallway from the living room you will find two giant bedrooms. Both have three windows and two exposures. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a shower stall, and two large closets. Due to the double exposures, there is the potential to create an extra, windowed room that would work great as a den or a study.
B12 has been recently updated with a new kitchen and bathrooms. There is a coveted, in-unit, washer/dryer hook-up. There are 11 windows in the apartment, six closets, and hardwood floors throughout.
Berkley Square is an excellent co-op with lots of amenities and very strong financials. Extremely affordable maintenance, high value assets, and additional rental income make this is a very sound building in which to invest. Pets, including dogs, are allowed, and the building has brand new elevators, door attendants, a live-in super, a full-time porter, free bike storage, and a common outdoor space. Extra storage is available for rent (possible waitlist) and parking is $125/month (waitlist). Conveniently located close to Prospect Park, the B and Q trains at Church Avenue, Cortelyou Road and Church Avenue amenities, and the newly revamped King's Theatre. Less than a mile from the new Kensington Dog Run.

Prospect Park South | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Charming tree-lined blocks, grand homes, and grassy center esplanades - Prospect Park South feels more like a quiet suburb than Brooklyn, the most populated borough in New York City.
The small landmarked neighborhood in south Brooklyn is bounded by Coney Island Avenue to the southwest, Ocean Avenue to the northeast, Prospect Park to the south, and Beverly Road to the south.
Don’t let the suburban vibe of Prospect Park South fool you, urban grit awaits you just outside the neighborhood's boundaries. It’s about a 45-minute commute to Manhattan on the B, Q, or F train or a short walk to livelier neighborhoods. Prospect Park South is flanked by Windsor Terrace, Kensington, Ditmas Park, and Flatbush. It’s the best of both worlds.
The history of the neighborhood starts with its original developer, Dean Alvord. If it wasn’t for his unique vision, Prospect Park South may have never blossomed into what it is today. In 1899 Alvord wanted to take advantage of Brooklyn’s newly created railway system that connected the borough. He purchased farmland and began building the neighborhood, which began as a six-block-by-two-block swatch of land with grand homes. Many of the houses were Victorian-inspired. Alvord marketed the neighborhood as a slice of country in the big city and the rest is pretty much history.
Prospect Park South is a few blocks bigger these days. Its grand Victorian-style homes still define the neighborhood. Other architectural styles found in the nabe include Colonial, French Revival, and Spanish Mission. Apartments and a few prewar co-ops complete the neighborhood's housing stock.
There aren’t too many places to shop in Prospect Park South but you might find a few spots in the commercial areas along Coney Island Avenue and Church Avenue. The suburban setting of Prospect Park South is popular with young families, which is why they’ve flocked there for the last decade.
