The top two floors of this turn of the century brownstone encompass the nearly 1,800 square foot apartment. The 3rd floor's open plan is bright, with eastern and western exposures seen through the 5 windows that clear the neighboring rooftops. The kitchen is located in the center of this living/dining area and has grey quartzite counter tops, and includes an island with room for four bar stools. Perfect for casual weeknight meals as well as entertaining guests. A handmade Moroccan tile backsplash graces the kitchen wall and there is a full sized dishwasher and four burner stove. This floor also has a windowed full bathroom with a pedestal tub, herringbone mosaic floors, and marble slab walls.
One of the greatest features of this home is the perfect amount of original detail. The entire living floor has intricate inlaid hardwood floors that border the living and dining room, not only designating the rooms but bringing a depth of character to the space. Pocket shutters are intact, letting you control the amount of light entering through 6 windows. Crown and floor moldings have been preserved as well as the wooden stair banister.
Upstairs is the bedroom floor with two large bedrooms and a smaller, classic hallway bedroom as well as a large laundry room and another windowed full bathroom. The large bedrooms are located in the front and rear of the apartment and each of them receive copious amounts of direct sunlight. The hallway bedroom would make a fantastic nursery or home office but can also be used as a bedroom, fitting a twin or full sized bed. The bathroom has a large, frosted window that lets in light but provides privacy with a full tub. Situated in the middle of the floor is the large laundry room with full sized Maytag washer and gas-vented dryer, and of course a laundry room wouldn't be complete without a slop sink and ample storage space.
459 Classon is located in arguably Brooklyn’s best neighborhood, Clinton Hill. In immediate proximity you will find Alice’s Arbor, Speedy Romeo’s, The Finch and Mecklebergs. The C train at Franklin Ave and the G train and Classon Ave are both 5 minutes away and there is a Citi bike location right on the corner.
Available November 1st, no broker fee, pets upon approval, no smoking, guarantors accepted.
