SUPER CONVENIENT, UNBEATABLE LOCATION. INCREDIBLE VIEWS. Live in a Storybook Brooklyn Limestone! Nestled in the heart of Sunset Park, this charming apartment offers the perfect blend of old-world character and modern convenience. Just steps from the renovated Brooklyn Public Library and less than a block from the subway, it’s truly a “one-minute neighborhood” with everything at your fingertips. A Rare Gem with Outdoor Space. Probably the nicest apartment in Sunset Park. 1100 sq ft interior + 1000 sq ft private garden = 2100 sq ft total 2 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms 1 Large Bonus Room (office, studio, or walk-in closet) Living/Dining Area + Separate Kitchen Private Entrance, No Stairs Set in a stunning Neo-Grec limestone on a quiet, tree-lined block, this first-floor apartment features a private entrance and a split-bedroom layout for maximum privacy—ideal for roommates, couples, or remote workers. Fully gut-renovated, the space offers pre-war charm with updated plumbing, electric, and modern finishes. Your Private Outdoor Oasis The showstopper: a lush, 1,000 sq ft private backyard garden with a grapevine-draped pergola, cherry plum tree, blueberry bush, flower beds, and composting area. Solar LED lights make evenings magical—perfect for starry movie nights, gardening, BBQs, or simply relaxing. A peaceful, almost storybook-like retreat that feels like a scene out of a Ghibli film. Nature & Views in Every Direction Sunset Park’s high elevation provides sweeping views of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline. Zoning keeps building heights low, so the neighborhood stays sunny and open. You’re also near two waterfront parks—Sunset Park and Bush Terminal Nature Preserve—and surrounded by green spaces. Amazing Location Steps from vibrant 5th Ave, with restaurants, cafes, shops, and a buzzing nighttime food truck scene. Just 1 block to the R train (25 mins to Manhattan), 4 mins by Citi Bike or 10 mins walking to the NYC Ferry (12 mins to Wall Street). 4th Ave has a protected bike lane all the way to Atlantic Terminal. More Perks: Walk Score: 98 Quiet block, low crime, family-friendly Close to Industry City 4 blocks to the future Steiner Studios + “Made in NY” campus (2026) This is more than just a rental—it’s a rare chance to live in a historic limestone with massive private outdoor space, stunning views, and unmatched convenience.
