In the highly desired Sun Gardens Homes Finnish Co-ops sits this charming and light-filled 1-bedroom with closets galore, custom touches, and amazing views over Sunset Park. Enter the building through either of its beautiful twin archways and to discover the magical courtyard garden, and make your way up to 647 Apt. 3A.
The entry foyer with closet provides ease of access to each part of the home, with lovely views on either side. On the south-facing side of the home, the living room has plenty of space and provides great views over the tree-lined street and Park. French doors open into the bedroom, which includes a custom built-in closet system in addition to the original closet storage. On the other side of the apartment, the updated kitchen includes a built-in banquette and extra storage, and overlooks the verdant courtyard where a beautiful flowering dogwood tree blooms every spring right outside your window. There's even an original icebox under the kitchen window, harkening back to the days before refrigerators in this historic, pre-war building. A tiled windowed bathroom finishes off the apartment and is move-in ready!
Sun Garden Homes Co-op is one of the neighborhood's finest. In addition to the beautiful architectural details and courtyard garden, the building also features a community vegetable garden, solar panels for electricity, a large windowed common laundry room and workshop, and a full-time live-in super. Each apartment has a spacious private storage room in the basement. Cats are allowed, but not dogs.
The Park itself features an Olympic size swimming pool, gym & rec center, soccer field and track, playground, sprinkler park, and a stunning view of Manhattan, New Jersey, and New York Harbor. Bush Terminal waterfront park is minutes away, as is Industry City/Brooklyn Army Terminal with fun and innovative food, art/design, shopping, and community events. The neighborhood also offers a diverse microcosm of NYC food and drink options along 4th, 5th, and 8th Aves, including several right along 41st Street like Slimak, Judy's, Libre Cafe, and Parlay. Just 30 minutes from your door to Manhattan via the N and D express trains, and there are three Citibike stations within 2 blocks.
