Listing Notes

Enjoy a lightness of being at the perfect intersection of nature and culture at 817 Classon Avenue. A sense of home where modern design and convenience, including an elevator, seamlessly intertwines with the rich cultural offerings of Prospect Heights and Crown Heights, including Prospect Park, The Botanic Gardens, the Brooklyn Museum, Eastern Parkway, and the Brooklyn Public Library. Just 19 units, take your pick of a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom home, all unique layouts, and most with some type of private outdoor space ranging from dramatic private gardens and roofdecks, to ample balconies. Unit 1A is a spacious 2 bed, 2 bath with an enormous private garden that faces east. There is no other garden apartment like this on the market. Situated in the back of the building with no street exposure assuring maximum privacy and quiet too. Interiors will stop you in their tracks with their soaring 10' plus ceilings, oversized glass doors to the great outdoors, casement windows, wide-plank white oak floors, designer lighting, solid-core doors, and ample closets. And of course, enjoy incredible comfort all year with the multi-zoned central heating and cooling systems throughout and your very own GE washer and dryer. Distinguished by a striking modern brick facade that includes oversized windows with extruded steel lintels that add just the perfect addition of privacy to your sun-blasted new home. Glass railings seem to disappear against the stunning burnished clay brick masonry work, all the better to showcase its distinctive organic patterning. Kitchens are thoughtfully designed spaces that blend beauty and practicality at every turn. Timeless walnut flat-front cabinetry combined with elegantly honed Vittoria marble countertops and spacious islands with fluted detailing, elevate the kitchens to the level of custom design, making them the perfect backdrop for whatever your aesthetic. Additional luxuries include fully paneled Fisher and Paykel French door fridge, Miele Dishwasher, and a Bosch induction range with a hood. Grohe hardware, brushed nickel pulls and unique brushed metal open shelving lends an unexpected layer of style to these spaces. Bathrooms will surround you in serenity and luxury, offering up oversized European Travertine in the primary baths, in addition to double sinks, walnut vanities, and airy walk-in showers complete with frameless glass enclosures. Secondary bathrooms are equally elegant with their creamy oversized tiles and white kit kat accent walls, in addition to deep bathtubs and built-in storage niches. Both bathrooms have been outfitted with custom oversized medicine cabinets and Grohe hardware throughout. We invite you to embrace brownstone Brooklyn at its finest. Enjoy easy access to Prospect Park or immerse yourself in the neighborhood's rich history with an eclectic and Michelin-starred dining scene and many local boutiques. Whether you enjoy nature, culture, or both, the scene surrounding 817 Classon Avenue has it all. Tucked in-between Sterling Place and Lincoln Place, on a quiet block one block from Eastern Parkway, you will have every amenity you could ever dream of at your doorstep. Subway accessibility includes the 2/3/4 at the Brooklyn Museum. Complete terms of the offering are available in an Offering Plan from the sponsor FILE 25-0213.
