811 Cortelyou Road, #4M

Brooklyn, NY 11218

This charming and expansive two-bedroom, two-bathroom in a well-kept building has a wonderfully versatile house-like layout and loads of prewar details. An entry hallway leads to a grand foyer that can easily function as a dining space or a home office. Off the foyer, through an archway, is an exceptionally roomy, windowed eat-in kitchen with white cabinets, butcher block counter tops, lots of storage, and a dishwasher. Also off the central foyer, through another beautiful archway, is the light-filled living room, which is big enough to accommodate both living and formal dining areas. A large master bedroom has two exposures and a renovated en suite bathroom. A second bedroom, also generously sized, has a huge closet and gets great southern light. The apartment also has a windowed, renovated second full bathroom, many south-facing windows, a sweet treetop Brooklyn view, original oak floors, and ample closet space.
There is currently a monthly assessment of $76.90 (until Dec '22).

811 Cortelyou Road has a classic prewar lobby, two elevators, a live-in super, full-time porter, laundry room, playroom, storage space (no waitlist!), and bike storage. Composting and recycling of textiles and electronics is available. The building recently completed a solar roof project which will reduce operating expenses and potentially bring in income; it also has an A energy rating (93). Cats are welcome, and one dog under 40 lbs is allowed per unit on approval. The Kensington location is close to both the Q and F trains and the many shops, cafes, and restaurants of Cortelyou Road, where there is also a year-round farmers market.
