1615 Avenue I APT 504, Brooklyn, NY 11230

This 5th floor three-bedroom apartment with a terrace and two full bathrooms offers the buyer looking for a lot of space, unobstructed south and west-facing light and the convenience of a subway one block away, the near perfect apartment. The bedrooms are all king-sized -- in fact, one of them was once the living room of the adjoining apartment, and is huge. There is a large entry room, too big to call a foyer, that can serve as a dining room for the largest family gatherings; the living room is also spacious, and leads out to the terrace. The apartment has been meticulously maintained but will need updating; the kitchen and bathrooms are original, dating back to the 1940s. The kitchen will definitely need a redo and there is room to expand it. The bathrooms are in excellent condition and need nothing unless you prefer a more modern look. The coop, Terrace Gardens Plaza, sits in the northernmost part of Midwood bordering Ditmas Park. It's well managed, financially solid, has a full-time maintenance staff, a part-time (18 hours a day) doorperson. The grounds are landscaped and the streets are tree-lined. There is parking ($115/month with a short waitlist), laundry and bike storage ($5/month) in the basement. The subway, shopping and a library are one block away.
