Pretty and airy with a balcony made for dreaming. An urban oasis… your sanctuary of peace and tranquility in the heart of Brooklyn…
My serene 2-bedroom home features an efficient, flexible layout for every aspect of daily life and is perched at the top of a charming street, but just a few blocks from an abundance of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and stores for all your daily needs. The open kitchen, with an island that has comfy seating, features full-sized appliances including a gas range and full size dishwasher and is outfitted with an Instapot and Nespresso among the usual gadgets.. Imagine yourself preparing meals for family and friends while you chat with guests as they sit and relax in the living area cooled by central air. Better yet, picture enjoying an afternoon cocktail on your own, huge, private balcony overlooking the historical and impeccably maintained Green-Wood Cemetery decked out with flora.
Green-Wood Cemetery (the eternal home of Basquiat, Leonard Bernstein, and many others) has avant-garde events all year long. It's not your typical cemetery, whatsoever. In the mid-19th century, it was the top tourist attraction in NYC! Today it remains a tranquil oasis with walking paths through 478 acres filled with exquisite landscaping, ponds, statuary, and renowned architecture. If you’re lucky, you’ll even see a group of bright green Monk parrots perched in the trees — flocks of these tropical birds have made this special corner of Brooklyn their home since the 60s. With Prospect Park also nearby, you won’t find a greener or more peaceful place to live in NYC! Very easy street parking is abundant to boot.
The primary bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has functioned as my ceramics space, office, or second bedroom. An in-unit stackable washer dryer makes your life so much easier too… you can spend your weekends enjoying your balcony and neighborhood instead of at the laundromat. The bathroom features a jacuzzi tub, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.
The R is 5 blocks away and the F/G is 14 blocks away. The walk takes you past boutiques and cafes or two bus lines just down 7th ave.
