Tucked away in an elegant pre-war co-op building surrounded by grand turn-of-the-century mansions, this very special junior one-bedroom (converted from a legal studio) presents a unique opportunity for a discerning buyer. In terms of location, there is simply nothing quite like this apartment on the market.

The unit features a gracious entry foyer, extra-large living room with a dining nook, a separate and modernized galley kitchen with ample cabinet and counter space and a dishwasher, a large sleeping alcove with windows on two sides, and a windowed full bath. The homeowner lovingly renovated the space to create a more open feel and flow to the apartment, adding modern touches and conveniences while mimicking the pre-war architectural detail. You’ll find beautifully maintained hardwood and parquet floors throughout, original curio shelving, decorative glass panels, as well as recessed lighting, plenty of storage (three closets!), and windows with bright and leafy garden views.

1409 Albemarle is a pet-friendly elevator co-op located on a broad, esplanaded boulevard which the New York Times once called “one of the grandest residential streets in the whole city.” The co-op offers free storage, bike room, common laundry room, live-in super, and a shared garden area. It’s convenient to the B/Q trains at both Beverley Rd and Church Ave, a few blocks to Prospect Park, and close to myriad shops and restaurants on Church Ave and Coney Island Ave as well as the Flatbush Food Co-op and the bustling commercial district on Cortelyou Rd.
