Property Description

Ask about the First Time Homebuyer Program that allows for as little as 5% down, competitive rates, and NO PMI! Welcome to Residence 1B, a beautifully designed 1 bedroom duplex, that can absolutely be lived in as a 2 bedroom. Abundant natural light, a flexible layout, fun decor and most importantly approximately 1,000 square feet of private outdoor backyard space (with access from both levels)-a true rarity in Brooklyn. This yard may be the largest private outdoor space to come with any condo unit we have seen.The main level features wide-plank hardwood floors, an open-concept kitchen with abundant walnut cabinetry, white quartz counters all paired with Bertazzoni and Bosch appliances, and an IN-UNIT washer and dryer all flowing seamlessly into the spacious living/dining area. The Queen sized bedroom overlooks the backyard, while the full bathroom features a deep soaking tub and heated floors for year-round comfort. Downstairs, an expansive finished lower level dramatically expands the home's versatility. Complete with a powder room that has plenty of space to be converted to a full bathroom, a walk-in closet, generous ceiling height, great lighting (it does not feel like a basement down there!) and direct access to the rear garden via the areaway. This incredible flex space functions beautifully as an impressive primary suite, living/media room, home office, fitness studio, or guest retreat.Perfectly situated in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Residence 1B places you moments from some of Brooklyn's most beloved cafés, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites. Enjoy local favorites including Daphne's, Saraghina, Peaches, L'Antagoniste, Trad Room, and Chez Oskar, along with neighborhood coffee shops, bakeries, and markets that make Bed-Stuy one of Brooklyn's most sought-after communities.Commuting is effortless with the Kingston-Throop Avenue C station and the Nostrand Avenue A/C stations nearby, providing quick access to Downtown Brooklyn, Manhattan, and beyond. Numerous bus routes and Citi Bike stations make getting around the city just as convenient.
