Property Description for 277 Washington Ave, 6-D

6D is a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking pre-war character paired with modern conveniences - from a virtual doorman system to elevator access, all within a well-managed 65-unit building. Flexible purchase structures, including co-purchasing and parents buying for children, subletting after two years of ownership, along with a welcoming pet policy for both cats and dogs, open the door to a wide range of buyers.

Home 6D
Inside, the apartment showcases classic pre-war charm elevated by thoughtful updates, such as stainless steal appliances, a granite countertop open kitchen with barstool seating, and custom automated Roman shades that convey with the sale. The apartment is a one of four units on the very top floor ( penthouse level) of the co-op, with a proper entry way foyer, dining table space in the living room, and four deep closets. The corner exposure fills the home with light throughout the day - the kitchen faces north, the bedroom faces east, and the bathroom and living room face west - while the top-floor vantage point delivers sweeping views spanning both Downtown Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline. Practical comforts round out the layout, including a dishwasher, steam radiator heat with through-window air conditioning, and a private storage locker included with the unit.
