The sprawling fifth-floor home spans just over 1,000 square feet, with gleaming hardwood floors running throughout, complemented by lots of natural light streaming in via multiple exposures. A large foyer opens into the open-plan living and dining room, which, along with an adjacent gallery space, provides generous room for living and entertaining. The beautifully renovated windowed eat-in kitchen includes a dishwasher, ample counter space and custom cabinetry. Dual exposures in the corner master bedroom provide plenty of natural light, and the second bedroom and bathroom are also windowed. There are six large closets throughout the apartment and all finishes have been completely renovated. This is truly a turn-key home. This stately elevator building is in excellent condition, a 100% owner-occupied coop complex surrounded by manicured green lawns. The building has a live-in super, plus on-site amenities including a private courtyard, bike room, recreation room, storage and laundry. MAINTENANCE INCLUDES ALL UTILITIES INCLUDING CABLE & INTERNET. Cats are allowed. Sorry, no dogs. Windsor Terrace is one of Brooklyn's most beloved neighborhoods, a serene corner of the borough tucked in between the leafy green expanses of Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery. Brancaccio's Food Shop, Steeplechase Coffee, Jaya Yoga and an array of restaurants are all just around the corner from the apartment, while the F/G trains are just five minutes from the front door, providing rapid transportation to anywhere in Brooklyn or Manhattan.
