This is a true 1BR/1BA in a building that opened less than a year ago — everything is brand new. The unit is 750 sq ft with 10-foot ceilings throughout, which makes it feel significantly larger than the square footage suggests.
The living room is anchored by floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side, flooding the space with natural light all day. The open kitchen has custom oak cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, a full suite of stainless steel appliances French door fridge, built-in microwave), and a peninsula with bar seating — ideal for cooking and entertaining.
The Living room/kitchen is oversized at 13 ft wide by 25 ft deep, with its own large south-facing window. There are two walk-in closets — one in the bedroom and a second off the living room — which is genuinely rare for a 1BR in Brooklyn.
The bathroom is spa-level: floor-to-ceiling white tile, a deep soaking tub, glass enclosure, brushed nickel fixtures, an oak vanity, and a large backlit LED mirror.
In-unit Bosch washer/dryer — stacked, full-size. No laundry room trips.
Soft, warm lighting throughout. White oak hardwood floors. Central HVAC with individual unit control. The whole place feels like a hotel you actually want to live in.
