1156 Saint Marks Ave APT 2F, Brooklyn, NY 11213

This beautiful bright 2.5 bedroom has original parquet floors and moldings, good closets, an eat-in kitchen with modern stainless appliances and lots of windows in every room.The building is located on a quiet street which terminates at one end at St. John's Park, so it is not a thoroughfare. Most of the buildings on the block are owner-occupied single or multi-family homes built between 1910 and 1924, and about half, including this one, are semi-detached, with garages in the back.St. John's Park is a 9.39 acre recreational facility, which has in recent years undergone a massive renovation, with a refurbished running track, baseball field, basketball and handball courts and children's playground. The park also offers an indoor fitness facility which includes a pool. Laundry and shopping are convenient. In addition to a full-line supermarket, nearby Park-Way Meats is one of Brooklyn's oldest butcher shops. There are excellent Caribbean restaurants in the area, and the B65 bus a block and a half away provides easy access to Prospect Heights' hippest restaurants and bars, including Beast, Branded Saloon and The Way Station.Private garage space is available for rental for an additional $150 per month.
