Live in a Quintessential Storybook Brooklyn Brownstone with triptych bay windows.
Nestled in the very heart of the most coveted part of prime Sunset Park, this charming apartment offers the perfect blend of character, convenience, and community.

Just steps from the beautifully renovated Brooklyn Public Library — ideal for book lovers — and only 3/4 of a block from the subway, commuting and exploration couldn’t be easier. This is truly a "one-minute neighborhood," where everything you need is right at your fingertips.

A rare gem — the unicorn of apartments — this home is perfect for gardeners, bookworms, and anyone seeking that magical combination of timeless architecture and modern accessibility.

About the space:
1100 Square feet apartment, 2 Bedrooms, 2 full Bathrooms, 1 huge room (can be used as a walk- in closet, office, studio, or workspace), 1 Living Room/Dining Room area, 1 separate Kitchen area + closet =
7 ROOMS TOTAL + HUGE 1000 square foot private garden area = 2100 sq ft of usable space!!!

Welcome home to this rare first-floor garden apartment with its own private entrance—you’ll be inside in under five seconds! Located in a stunning red-and-white Néo-Grec rowhouse on a peaceful, tree-lined street in prime Sunset Park, this apartment combines the elegance of old New York with renovated modern comfort interiors.

Housed in a beautiful pre-war brownstone that's been gut renovated, you get the best of both worlds: the character and prestige of historic architecture with the peace of mind that comes from new plumbing and electrical systems.

This 2-bedroom, 2-bath garden layout is a truly unique gem, especially in a brownstone building. The split-bedroom design offers maximum privacy, making it ideal for roommates or students as the bedrooms and bathrooms are at opposite ends of each other. For couples, the second bedroom is flexible for a home office or guest space—perfect for remote work and flexible living.

Bonus: No stairs, no hassle. Just step in and enjoy the space.

A Bucolic Work-From-Home Oasis in the Heart of the City

Escape the chaos of the city without ever leaving it. This apartment is a true idyllic retreat—a peaceful, picture-perfect place to live and work from home in total comfort.

The front of the building features a stunning October maple tree that turns a vibrant fire-red in the fall, providing a breathtaking view right from your window. In the back, enjoy the serenity of an amazing private backyard—the perfect spot to unwind as you watch the moon rise overhead.

Set on one of the most picturesque blocks in Brooklyn, the street itself looks like San Francisco and Brooklyn had a baby—full of charm, elevation, and beauty. People often stop in their tracks to snap photos of this building. It’s that striking.

The highlight of this home is the expansive 1,000 sq. ft. private backyard garden—an incredibly rare gem in the city. Thoughtfully curated with a variety of plants, flowers, and fruit-bearing trees, this lush space includes a pergola draped in summer-growing concord grapes, a cherry plum tree, and even a blueberry bush.

It’s a space where you can farm, compost, hang a hammock, or simply lie back and gaze at the sky. Whether you're into gardening, reading, BBQing, or just unwinding outdoors, this backyard is your sanctuary.

The pergola glows at night with solar-powered LED lights that twinkle softly. Watch movies under the stars on a projector. Listen to exotic birds chirping, bees buzzing, and butterflies fluttering through the air while pollinating. Cats wander gracefully along white picket fences, basking in the dappled light (like Garfield or that play about cats, called Cats).

Gentle breezes rustle the leaves above, adding to the calm. It’s a tranquil, storybook-like escape—serene, magical, - like something out of a Ghibli film,

Thanks to its unusually high elevation, Sunset Park offers some of the most breathtaking views in the city — including a direct line to the Statue of Liberty and World Trade Center. One of the neighborhood’s greatest assets is its zoning: building heights are capped at 80 feet. This keeps the skyline low, preserving a sense of openness and allowing for unobstructed views of Manhattan from the park that gives the neighborhood its name. You can actually see the sun in the namesake neighborhood for most of the day while walking around.

Nestled between two stunning waterfronts and surrounded by abundant green spaces, this apartment is a nature lover’s dream.

Just steps from vibrant 5th Avenue, you’ll find a diverse mix of national retailers and charming mom-and-pop shops. You’re also just around the corner from an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes, and food markets. Also at night there is an amazing food truck culture that happens nearby at the end of the street. The neighborhood strikes an ideal balance: high foot traffic and low crime in a family‑friendly area with easy subway access—yet featuring an exceptionally quiet building on a peaceful, tree‑lined block.

You’re also within four blocks of both Sunset Community Park, offering jaw‑dropping Manhattan skyline panorama views, and Bush Terminal Park Nature Preserve, a hidden gem with waterfront vistas.  Plus, you’re just four blocks from the soon-to-open Steiner Movie Studios and the EDC “Made in NY” Campus and studio hub, set to launch in 2026.

Cyclists will appreciate the protected bike lane on 4th Avenue, which extends all the way to Atlantic Terminal and beyond. Nearby, Industry City offers a growing hub of retail and business opportunities. With a 98% Walk Score, everything you need—from convenience stores to coffee shops—is practically at your doorstep.

Commuting is easy: The subway is just one block away at the R train station on 53rd Street—approximately a 25‑minute ride into Manhattan. it’s only a 4-minute Citi Bike ride or a 10-minute walk to the NYC Ferry at Brooklyn Army Terminal, with a quick 12-minute trip to Lower Manhattan.
