Welcome home to 269 8th Street, 3R; a spacious two-bed, two-bath condo with a large balcony, low monthlies, and a prime Park Slope location that truly checks all the boxes! Upon entering, one is struck by the substantial size of the large living room. A wall of south-facing windows draws you in and bathes the apartment with light, while another wall of closets ensures everything can be neatly tucked away. The open floor plan extends to include a well-sized dining alcove providing plenty of room for your next dinner party, inclusive of a large storage closet with custom shelving. The adjacent kitchen features an island with seating for two, ample cabinet space, a full suite of stainless-steel appliances, handsome Caesarstone counters, and an elegant Carrera marble backsplash. Down the hall, custom built-in bookcases offer a place to display your treasures on your way to the bedrooms beyond. An in-unit washer/dryer and a full bath are also found off the hall.
At the end are two quiet bedrooms, the smaller of which is well-sized with another custom closet. The oversized primary suite features a walk-in closet with gorgeous custom shelving, as well as ample hanging space. The en-suite bathroom features a walk-in shower and sleek
grey tiles throughout. Beyond the primary, one finds a spacious deck overlooking trees and backyards, a lovely oasis to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day. The home has hardwood floors throughout, and through-wall A/C to keep you comfortable year-round, and ductless A/C is an option should the new owners wish to install. The unit also comes with a storage closet conveniently located right outside your front door!
