535 Dean St APT 603, Brooklyn, NY 11217

Bright, spacious, airy 960-square-foot studio loft in the coveted Newswalk building in Prospect Heights. The unit is 23' x 42', with 12' ceilings. Sunlight floods in through an enormous wall of south-facing windows 8' x 19', which affords a rooftop view of Park Slope punctuated by church steeples, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, and the trademark dome of the Brooklyn Museum -- plus the southern sky. The modern kitchen has granite countertops, stainless-steel GE appliances, a 32" x 62" kitchen island, and a gorgeous mosaic-tiled backsplash. The unit also features a 7' x 7.5' walk-in closet, 3 additional closets, a large overhead storage bin, a "popcorned" ceiling with 2 ceiling fans, a semi-enclosed sleeping area, track lighting, recessed over-the-kitchen-cabinet rope lighting, maple flooring, birch kitchen cabinets, and a Friedrichs A/C reconditioned in 2016. The modern bath is done in white subway tile. The unit now has an open-plan layout, but could easily be reconfigured as a 1- or 2-bedroom space. Newswalk is a well-managed, full-service building constructed in 1926 and converted to 173 condos in 2002. There is a 24/7 concierge/doorman and a full-time super. It features a spacious fitness center with a full complement of machines and weights; a large front yard with garden (which is about to be expanded and re-landscaped, with no special assessment or increase in monthly charges); a 15,000-square-foot common roof deck with barbeque grills, picnic tables, kitchen sink, restroom, benches, lounge seating, plantings, and an enclosed children's playground; and a modern, well-lit laundry room. A separately-owned parking garage in the building has spaces available for rent and several Zipcars. The bike storage area in the garage is free to residents. Pets are allowed. The condo residents' community has an active GoogleGroup discussion board. Newswalk is located near the intersection of Prospect Heights, Park Slope, Fort Greene and Boerum Hill, just blocks from the Barclays Center, the BAM Cultural District, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, and the 585-acre Prospect Park. It abuts the burgeoning Pacific Park development. An enormous variety of restaurants, cafés, bars, shops and other amenities of every kind are nearby in every direction. Access to public transportation is unparalleled: the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q and R trains and the LIRR are all within 3 blocks at the Atlantic Ave./Barclays station, and the C and G trains are within 8 blocks. Open houses: Sunday, June 18, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Sunday, June 25, 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Also shown by appointment.
