Brooklyn (Downtown Brooklyn), NY, 11201 | $399,000

Offered as an estate sale and sold completely as is, this apartment presents a rare opportunity to create a home entirely to your own taste. Requiring a complete renovation, it offers an excellent layout in a well-maintained cooperative, making it well worth the work. Beyond your front door is one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods, surrounded by acclaimed restaurants, world-class cultural institutions, and outstanding transportation.

A gracious entry foyer opens to a bright, east-facing living room with well-balanced proportions overlooking mature trees and landscaped grounds. The separate windowed kitchen is more than ten feet long and sits directly beside the living room, allowing you to create a spacious great room. The corner bedroom features windows on two sides. Nearly square in shape, it is remarkably easy to furnish.

The bathroom is located off the hall, around the corner from the foyer and beside the bedroom, out of view from the apartment's main living spaces. Four large closets provide generous storage throughout.

One block from Fort Greene Park, the location is among Brooklyn's most desirable. BAM anchors one of New York City's premier cultural destinations with internationally acclaimed theater, dance, music, opera, and film, while Myrtle and DeKalb Avenues are home to some of Brooklyn's most acclaimed restaurants, including Roman's, Sailor, Evelina, Theodora, Café Paulette, and Olea. Nearly every major subway line is within easy reach, making this one of Brooklyn's most convenient locations for commuting throughout the city.

University Towers is a well-maintained cooperative with an attended lobby, landscaped grounds, fitness center, community room, laundry facilities, bike storage, and on-site parking.
