Why we have a crush on this property

If I were to ever buy property in a major city like New York, I’d want my pint-sized apartment to have a few specific things: exposed brick, custom furniture or shelving, and one super unique feature that most other units don’t have. This two-bedoom co-op for sale in Prospect Heights checks all of those boxes and more.

Situated steps from Brooklyn’s Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Museum, this little number packs in a slew of enviable features. A standout for me is the exposed brick in the living room and bedrooms. One of the bedrooms, staged as a child’s room, flaunts a colorful mural over its brick wall — that’s exactly the kind of unique feature I’d need. The room comes with custom closets and shelving, plus plenty of sunlight to boot.

Elsewhere in the home, you’ll find more custom features. A built-in bookcase in the hallway leading from the living room to the kitchen conceals a hidden desk for WFH-ers. The eat-in kitchen also has a banquette that seats five, top-of-the-line appliances, and a breakfast bar.

The building itself offers a doorman, a video intercom system, a package room, a fitness center, a common roof deck, and laundry facilities on each floor. Proximity to a coffee shop and an ice cream parlor seal the deal for me.

The place is listed for $825,000 by Matthew Kirby-Smith with Compass. You can see the full listing here.
