176 Sterling Pl APT 1L, Brooklyn, NY 11217

176 Sterling Place 1L / 2L is an expansive three-bedroom, possibly four-bedroom co-op perfectly balancing tradition, modern craftsmanship, style, and laid-back luxury.

The beautifully done chef's kitchen is likely to be the heart of the home. You will enjoy the abundant counter and storage space, and the large center island, perfect for informal dinners, homework, late night cards, or a bottle of wine shared with friends. Adjacent to the kitchen you find the dining area with room to seat 10 or 12 of your closest friends and family. The living room and dining area have high ceilings, an exposed brick wall and soundproof CitiQuiet windows. The spiral staircase takes you to the master suite, a delightful retreat with the luxurious spa bathroom, and a walk-in closet which doubles as a home office. Past the kitchen, down the hallway, there are two very large and quiet bedrooms and another beautifully done windowed bathroom. The stairs at the end of the hall lead to the family/guest room, laundry room and a half bathroom. The from the family/guest room there are sliding glass doors to the private patio. The building has an inviting roof terrace with dramatic skyline views. It is furnished with both a sitting area and a dining area.

This savvy co-op installed solar thermal and solar electric photo-voltaic panels to reduce its cost and its carbon footprint. 1L / 2L has its own thermostat to control the heat, although the heating is included in the monthly maintenance. Set in a row of stately turn of the century limestone buildings, on an award-winning green block, and in the center of it all - beautiful Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, the Brooklyn Library, Barclay Center, the Q /B and 2/3 trains, and all of the great amenities on 7th Avenue, Vanderbilt Avenue, and Flatbush Avenues. Cats are welcome, but sorry no dogs.
