This rare and authentic 3,150SF top floor loft is located in a converted schoolhouse in historic Prospect Heights and offers a sprawling flexible layout with charming details throughout. Bathed in natural light from 9 skylights and graced with 14-foot vaulted ceilings and exposed brick archways, this expansive home offers multiple living spaces with two wood-burning fireplaces, a bright windowed kitchen, 2 private terraces and open city views from a wall of oversized windows. The entire home exudes a creative energy that is ideal for artistic live/work pursuits, or, can be transformed into a grand and magnificent 3-bedroom showplace. A rare opportunity for those who appreciate architectural integrity and are seeking a quiet and peaceful lifestyle with private parking and outdoor space! Built in 1895 and designed by James W. Naughton in the Renaissance Revival style, P.S. 9 Annex stands regally at the corner of Sterling Place and Vanderbilt Avenue and is one of the most beautiful and unusual properties in Brooklyn. The building was converted by local artists to a residential cooperative in 1989 and offers a lush communal garden, a visiting superintendent and private gated parking. And of course, there's the prime location, putting you right in the heart of Brooklyn's most vibrant community, just moments from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, all major subway lines and an eclectic selection of restaurants, cafes and local shops that make this neighborhood a warm and inviting place to live. Truly one-of-a-kind!
