Recently renovated, this smartly designed one bedroom, one and one-half bath features soaring ceilings, impeccable finishes, hardwood oak floors, gracious closet space, and is accompanied by an impressively furnished, and landscaped shared backyard. Built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and storage cabinets throughout maximize living with clever uses of space. A shared garden entrance offers additional closet space akin to a mud room that adds to the true brownstone living experience.
The kitchen separates the living and dining areas from the intimate back-of-house sleeping quarters. Rich espresso stained cabinetry pair beautifully with stone countertops and stainless-steel mosaic tiled backsplash. The stainless-steel appliance package includes Bertazzoni gas range, over-the-range XO exhaust hood, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. The half bath is finished with built-in stone countertop, custom wood cabinetry, wall mounted fixtures, linen closet, and wall-papered to add a perception of depth and charm.
The bedroom suite is open and airy with black mullioned triple bay floor-to-ceiling windows and access to the backyard oasis. More built-in cabinets, closets, and en suite bath exudes a serene spa like experience with built-in vanity, medicine cabinets, chrome fixtures and deep soaking tub.
Washer and dryer access are available on the premises, and pets are welcomed.
878 President Street stands within a quiet block yet front and center to world-class cultural destinations such as
the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), and Barclay’s Center. More intimately, Park Slope is known for its tight knit community vibe, stellar restaurants, organic food markets – notably the Park Slope Food Coop, the original Union Market, and the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket – as well as charming independent retail shops, cafes, coffee bars, and so much more. Easy access to the 2, 3, 4, B, and Q trains provides fluid and direct connectivity to Brooklyn’s other dynamic neighborhoods, Manhattan and beyond.
