This stylish pre-war two-bedroom co-op in a prime Kensington building has great flow, sunny views of a tree-lined Brooklyn street, and loads of pretty architectural details such as arched entryways, built-in curio shelving, and a striking stained glass transom window.
The foyer has three huge closets, and off to its right is a handsome, modern, u-shaped kitchen that has a cater-cornered window, plenty of storage and counterspace, an undermount sink, a dishwasher, and a built-in microwave.
Beyond the kitchen is a large living room that gets lots of sun, has dimmable zoned recessed lighting, and wonderful built-in bookshelves. Through its east-facing windows there is a beautiful magnolia tree that graces the building's pretty front gardens, adding to the beauty and charm of this home.
Down a hallway that has two additional closets are the two bedrooms. The bright and airy oversized primary bedroom has big double windows that let in lovely, eastern morning light. A second entrance to the room is adorned by elegant French doors that can open to create a brilliant wall-of-windows effect on the whole apartment. The pleasant second bedroom is nicely sized and has a west-facing exposure. Also off of the hallway is a chic, recently renovated, windowed full bathroom that has a vanity with drawers for storage.
