Listing Notes
Located on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the heart of Midwood, this newly renovated three-bedroom, floor-through residence occupies the top level of a charming building, offering privacy and light from triple exposures. The home blends clean, modern design with a soft, neutral palette, creating a calm and inviting living environment. Inside, the layout opens into a generously scaled living room that flows seamlessly into a contemporary kitchen, anchored by a large white quartz island with seating for three to four. The kitchen is outfitted with brand new stainless steel appliances and sleek cabinetry, balancing function with understated style, and is complemented by a walk-in closet just off the space that works easily as a pantry or coat storage. The primary bedroom sits privately on one side of the home and connects to a flexible office or walk-in closet, which opens onto a large private balcony with room for seating and additional use, extending the living space outdoors. The second and third bedrooms are well-proportioned and comfortably accommodate a queen bed with additional space for a desk. Positioned near the B and Q trains at Kings Highway, the apartment offers a straightforward commute to Manhattan in approximately 35 minutes. Everyday conveniences are close by, along with neighborhood favorites such as Pomegranate for Mediterranean cuisine, Taci's Beyti for Turkish dining, and Oasis, all within a short walk of the home. Application Fee $20 per person
