About this House

Whether it?s the couple block distance to the F & G trains on 9th Street or the beautiful lofty designed hallway adding much character, making this nest a one of a kind. This 3-bedroom apartment is situated in one of the many desired neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Gowanus. Nearby many established supermarkets such as Whole Foods, restaurants such as Table 87, Freek?s Mill, and other known cafes, bars, desserts spots and ?things-to-do? such as: rock climbing, fitness, yoga, fencing, art, and much more. Not including the places in its sister neighborhood, Park Slope which is a stone throw away.

Upon entering the available unit, F2 you?re welcomed in with floor to ceiling windows, flooding the spacious living room with tons of natural light, highlighting the walnut hardwood flooring throughout. The kitchen features wooden like solid colored cabinets, which are topped with a light grey quartz countertop offset by the color of upper storage space, which is great for your seasonal ingredients. The stainless steel appliances complement the kitchen area featuring brand names such as Whirlpool and Summit including a microwave and a dishwasher.

The three bedroom are relatively equally sized, are a great size for shares or a couple looking for an additional room, such as home study, nursery, guest room, bedrooms etc. Have the luxury of controlling your own utilities from the tip of your fingertips, where each room has a ductless heating/cooling remote controlled unit. The bedrooms part many of the fixtures and design flow seen throughout the apartment, such as the LED lighting, stylish light pendants, closets, large windows, window treatments, and much more. The bathroom, which plays a part in the unit?s ?one of a kind? statement, features a glass-enclosed bathtub, an eco friendly toilet, and a modern-industrial design expressed by the tiling and fixtures.

Overall the unit is great, the building design, amenities and location just make it a much cooler place to live. Some features the building boast is: the art expressed in the hallways, an indoor bike rack, a video intercom system, keyless entry, roof deck, laundry and much more. Overseeing the NYC skyline from the furnished roof deck gives you a place to unwind after a long day; you know a place that?ll make reading this description a bit more fun. : )

Disclaimer: This isn't a "Black Friday" special, its just a great deal, that will move quick. No fee to prospective tenant(s), therefore a higher budget for shopping on cyber Monday?

Feel free to email, text, or call me for more info/ floor plans or to arrange a mutual time to view this unit.
