This purchase may qualify for a 5.875% 30-year fixed-rate loan!
Rare opportunity to own an efficiently designed three bedroom home in one of the area's most sought-after pet-friendly co-op buildings!
As you enter, the first thing you will notice is a well laid out open-concept kitchen/living/dining set-up that is perfect for daily life and entertaining. The spacious and well-designed windowed kitchen has stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, under cabinet lighting, undermount sink, breakfast bar, and tons of counter and cabinet space. The massive living room has plenty of room to add a home office area, and is outfitted with a custom designed bookcase. Adjacent to the living room, and right next to the kitchen, is a perfect spot for a formal dining table.
The primary bedroom has a huge corner window, as well as a second window, with northern and western views of leafy green trees and the Knickerbocker Tennis Club. The second and third bedrooms are both well-sized, and one of them is currently outfitted with a custom made Murphy bed. The bathroom is windowed, and has a nice vanity with plenty of storage and a quartz countertop.
Everything in this home was completely gut renovated in 2018 including brand new oak flooring, new wiring and plumbing, and new walls, doors, window casings, moldings and radiator covers. There is also a coveted in-unit W/D, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans.
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.
