185 St Marks Ave 1R

Welcome home to this lovely two bed, two bath apartment with your own backyard oasis! It's location on the parlor level of the building provides the perfect combination of first floor convenience, and parlor height ceilings, while still offering the privacy and light that comes from being up the stoop from street level. The sun-drenched living room features a lovely bay window and perfect Prospect Heights views, while a separate dining area off the kitchen ensures you'll have plenty of room to entertain. The renovated, windowed, kitchen features an abundance of custom cabinets, including double height cabinets stretching all the way to the ceiling and a full pantry with convenient pull out drawers within. There is also a suite of full sized, stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, an attractive tile backsplash and under cabinet lighting. A storage closet adjacent to the kitchen makes sure you have a place for everything.

Down the hall is one of two full bathrooms, again with lots of built in storage, a nice sized vanity and a shower tub combo. Continuing down the hall is the first bedroom. It is well sized, and would also make a perfect home office/guest room. At the end of the hall the spacious primary bedroom is nestled quietly at the back of the home, complete with an en suite bathroom and walk in closet beyond. The well designed en suite bathroom features a stall shower and large vanity with ample storage, as well as a separate W/C room. Two large closets are at the back of the space, one with custom built shelving, drawers and rods for hanging shirts and pants and the other with one rod for hanging longer items.

The primary bedroom also features quaint french doors with stairs leading down to your very own outdoor oasis! The oversized backyard is 43' deep and 650 sqft in total, with a front patio ready for your next BBQ, and a winding garden inviting your green thumb to blossom! As if all of that were not enough, the apartment also comes with a large, and private 10' x 8' storage room with 8' heigh ceilings ensuring you have a place for everything! Handsome and pristine hardwood floors are found throughout, as are original moldings and other charming prewar touches.
