Listing Notes

Welcome to 191 Willoughby Street, Unit 5E, a large alcove studio with eastern light, a flexible layout, and excellent storage in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn. The apartment opens into an entry foyer with two large closets and a wide hallway leading to a fully equipped open-concept kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, and room for a small dining table. The main living area is generously proportioned. This versatile space can easily accommodate distinct living, dining, and sleeping areas while still feeling open and comfortable. The East-facing windows bring in beautiful natural light throughout the day, and the hardwood floors and ample closet space (including a walk-in) add tremendous warmth and functionality to this lovely home. University Towers is a gated, well-established cooperative known for its financial stability and attentive maintenance. Residents enjoy a suite of amenities including 24-hour security, a fitness center, a lushly landscaped barbecue terrace with lounge seating and free Wi-Fi, bike storage, a children's playground, a community room, and two elevators per building. There is no flip tax, and flexible purchase options are allowed, including co-purchasing, gifting, and purchases by parents for children. On-site parking is available for sale or rent when available. Please ask for details. Sorry, no pets except as required by law. Set on over five acres of beautifully maintained grounds, this community offers a peaceful setting just moments from City Point, Dekalb Market Hall, Alamo Drafthouse, Fort Greene Park, Trader Joe's, Target, Lidl, Whole Foods 365, and a wide range of dining, shopping, and daily conveniences. Transportation is especially convenient, with the B, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, and G trains, multiple bus lines, and the LIRR at Atlantic Terminal all nearby. Note: A small assessment went into effect in September 2025 and will remain in place for two years. Please ask for details.
