673 Vanderbilt Avenue, #1C

Serenity is yours! Up one flight from exciting Vanderbilt Avenue is this charming one-bedroom apartment. A long hallway is the perfect photo/art gallery and leads into a beautiful living room with high ceilings, crown moldings and an ornate decorative fireplace with original tiles and cast-iron fireback. Beyond the living room is the eat-in kitchen where two exposures throw beautiful light into the room, and ample counter space, cabinetry and built-ins in both the kitchen and living room will easily contain your cooking accessories, books and collectibles. There's a gas stove and an LG refrigerator and dishwasher. The bedroom has a wall of closets that rise to the ceiling for extra storage. The pristine and handsome blue and white bathroom is accessed from either the bedroom or hallway and has been fashioned with crisp white wainscoting, marine blue walls and a floor covered in blue-and-white ceramic tile. The apartment has a deeded individual locked storage room in the basement, and laundry is free. A common backyard is accessed from the side of the building, where there's also a bike rack. Pets are welcome on approval, solar panels help keep maintenance low, and the building has recently installed a keyless video intercom system. As for the location, it's simply ideal. Grand Army Plaza sits only a couple of blocks away and offers the 2/3 trains (the B/Q station is just down Flatbush Avenue), the entrance to Prospect Park, the Saturday farmer's market, the main branch of the Brooklyn Library, the museum and Botanic Garden. And Vanderbilt Avenue offers a panoply of shopping and dining, supermarkets, Mermaid's Garden, Olmstead, R+D Foods, White Tiger, Patti Ann's, Ample Hills, Fermented Grapes, Milk Bar...the list goes on and on. Gracious calm inside; excitement, activity and culture outside.
