171 South Portland Ave, 3-A

171 S. Portland Avenue Unit 3A is a rare, beautifully designed 3BR/2BA condo in coveted Fort Greene, recently named one of the "Nicest Neighborhoods in America." Close to both Fort Greene Park and a dozen subway lines, Unit 3A has an exceptional level of finish but incredibly low common charges ($852/mo.), giving you everything you could hope for in your new home. Step off of the elevator and be spoiled by the intimacy of this boutique, 9-unit building: just two apartments on this floor give you all the privacy you crave. Enter the apartment and take in the abundant natural light streaming into the welcoming living area and its east-facing windows. The living room is generously-sized and has thoughtfully designed custom cabinetry for incredible storage capacity. Just off the living room is the third bedroom, currently configured as a large home office and guest bedroom. The dining area is surrounded in natural sunlight, with sliding glass doors leading out to a sweet balcony overlooking the green gardens below. The chef’s kitchen is large and features abundant European custom soft-close cabinetry, Montclair Danby marble countertops and backsplashes, Bertazzoni range and microwave, Liebherr refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and even a stainless steel chef’s sink with in-sink garbage disposal. Head down the hallway and find the west-facing side of the apartment, complete with two bedrooms, two baths and laundry area. Both the primary and second bedrooms get lovely afternoon light dappling in. The secluded primary bedroom is peaceful and has an enormous custom walk-in closet and spa-like ensuite marble bathroom complete with dual vanities, herringbone marble floor and extra-large shower. The cozy second bedroom is able to comfortably hold bunk beds. The second bathroom has a deep tub and sleek tile work. The unit’s separate laundry area has a vented washer/dryer and additional storage. This unit has wide plank oak hardwood floors and HVAC throughout, a large shared storage closet in the common hall as well as a large deeded storage closet in the basement. 171 S. Portland Avenue is luxury condo living without the typical, incredibly high monthlies most newer developments require. Owners share a common roof deck, large bike room and Butterfly entry system. Close to both Downtown Brooklyn and Prospect Heights, this 3BR condo gives you access to every city convenience possible: the 2/3/4/5/A/B/C/D/GN/Q/R/LIRR lines; big, brand-name stores (Whole Foods, Apple); verdant Fort Greene Park and its vibrant neighborhood community with endless small businesses, shops, restaurants, art and architecture that make this part of Brooklyn so special.
