Welcome to 135 Eastern Parkway 15-E, located in Turner Towers. With its graceful flow and generous proportions, it exudes the kind of glamour and elegance you can only find in a classic prewar home.
Spanning 1,850 square feet - and offering a flexible floor plan - there is room to grow. It's light and lovely with thirteen windows across three exposures highlighting views of the Brooklyn Museum in one direction and the NYC skyline in the other.
There are three enormous bedrooms, 2 baths, an expansive 362 sq ft living/dining room, an open, eat-in kitchen, your own laundry room, tons of closet space (including a walkin) and a gracious, welcoming foyer that's practically a room in itself.
The pretty eat-in kitchen has stone counters, abundant cabinetry and a butler's pantry. Both bathrooms are charming and feature classic subway tile, hexagonal floors and the original cast-iron fixtures.
Its prewar pedigree is evident in all the gorgeous details throughout, including: high beamed ceilings, wainscotting, built-ins, a decorative fireplace, plaster walls, exquisite herringbone parquet floors, Art Deco hardware and vintage French doors.
Built in 1926, Turner Towers remains one of NYC's most iconic landmark buildings. It offers concrete construction (which allows for exceptional soundproofing), white glove services, an elegant marble lobby, a professionally landscaped tea garden and basement storage (upon availability). Perhaps best of all, the building will soon be opening a newly updated 24-hour gym featuring a full complement of cardio and resistance equipment. Elevator renovation is funded and underway.
You're situated on the nation's first parkway, designed by Central Park's Frederick Olmsted and designated a National Scenic Landmark in 1978. You're across the street from The Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden and steps away from Prospect Park, with its miles of running and cycling trails, 32,000 sq ft skating rink, playgrounds and tennis courts. The 2/3 trains are steps away and you have all of the neighborhood's destination cafes, shops and restaurants at your fingertips. Offered for the first time since the building was converted to co-op, this is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
