117 Sterling Place, 14

A superb north Slope location on a pretty tree-lined block is only the beginning of the accolades we can assign to this wonderful two-bedroom apartment. Once a stable, this elevator building is home to 18 extra-cool loft-like co-ops, each laid out in an open plan. Enter no. 14. A double coat closet sits just inside the front door, and then behold: almost 500 square feet of living space! The asymmetrical kitchen has a wraparound wood and Caesarstone countertop with breakfast bar, a chic turquoise tiled backsplash, stainless-steel appliances - including Samsung gas oven and Beko dishwasher and fridge - a slate tile floor and plenty of painted white upper and lower cabinetry. A spacious dining area is easily accessible from the kitchen and can host a dinner-party-sized gathering. All windows are south-facing, and the light from the 4thfloor is superb. The living room has beamed ceilings and a grand wood-clad hearth surrounding a wood-burning fireplace. Two bedrooms are substantially sized, the primary with a walk-in closet. The bathroom has a turquoise tiled bath and wood vanity. The floors are oak plank in a handsome walnut stain, and there's both in-unit laundry and central heat and cool. Financially sound and responsibly managed, this pet-friendly building is a short distance to the B/Q and 2/3 trains, and all of the shopping and dining choices on Fifth, Seventh and Flatbush Avenues. Minutes away, you will also find the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Mark Morris Dance Company, Prospect Park, the Grand Army Plaza farmer's market, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden -- and so much more in between!
