Historic-Detailed Brownstone 1BR+ Home Office: Chic, Modernized, Private Deck, Low Maintenance
Just-listed, this breathtaking. parlor floor-through unit is unique for its combination of stunning, historic wood detail; exquisitely high ceilings; oversized bay windows; 2 intricate-design mantels with original tile accents; classic, arched plasterwork; crown moldings; roomy, private, rear deck; modernized walk-in-shower bath; modern kitchen with breakfast counter; & a compellingly low monthly maintenance. Its 800 square feet of sun-etched interior space & 180 square feet of a "yours-alone" deck with privacy fencing define this as an inviting home choice for you!
Nestled amidst an architecturally rich brownstone enclave on this treed block in the shopping / services epicenter of the North Slope, this sprawling 1 BR + study commands the 2nd floor of a 4-story, 3- co-op townhome. This wide & deep parlor floor is your perfect urban sanctuary! And entertaining is a breeze here, given that a new, spacious rear deck beckons from your well laid-out living room with double-closeted dining niche. Intimate dinner or bubbly party--it's your preference on planning that 215 St. John's Place housewarming!
A small amount of work converts your living-space’s decorative fireplace to wood-burning. The cook’s kitchen is ripe for your contractor’s / designer’s reimagining. And the tiled bath, renovated 15 years back, will benefit from a little TLC.
The bedroom’s oak-with-mahogany-inlaid flooring, along with another hardwood mantel (topped by period mirror), & original upper & lower shutters seal the deal on a sweet retreat. Outfit the wide-windowed room off your bedroom as a: home office, study, exercise room, hobby studio, or perhaps nursery. Washer & dryer + kit appliances included; solid closet space; track & recessed lighting, punctuated by an antique, Florentine brass chandelier in the living/dining space!
Cherry wainscoting & tall, raised-panel doors embellish the freshly painted public hallway of this prestige cooperative. The building’s rear wall just saw attractive, mission-beige, water-proof sealcoat done; sidewalk resurfacing was a 2024 project in this well-maintained townhouse; roof recently done too. Designated storage in common cellar; vestibule receives packages & has separate unit mailboxes; intercom/buzzer. Central heat/hot water already in co-op maintenance.
There is no underlying mortgage on the building, so your monthly maintenance is appreciably lower than in nearby cooperatives & condos. With extra padding in your wallet, splurge on a renovation here. Add those deliciously high-end kit appliances to match your inner chef’s standards! Spring for that refinished barn-house flooring you've been pining for.
The brownstones on this north side of St. John’s Place were built from 1881-1906. They earned an elite place in Brooklyn’s turn-of-the-century history, particularly for their Eastlake & Italianate detail excellence. Afford yourself the opportunity to bring today’s construction-&-design standouts into this home. Pet/s on approval. Immediately available. Contact listing broker for appointment or before an open house by appointment only.
Just a whisper away from Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, train & bus lines galore, the LIRR, fave restaurants & shopping, & abundant neighborhood services--this well-priced cooperative won’t be available for long. Make this your new address, & you will have chosen wisely!
