932 President Street

New to market! This 12-year-old condominium on a prime, well-situated park block is a first-class example of an early 20th-century brownstone single home, transformed into five apartments whose developer maintained much of its 100-year-old charm. This is Apt. One: It boasts 1,864 of interior space over two floors. As you enter the front door you’re struck by the marriage of indoors and out. The expansive kitchen, living and dining areas are backed by a wall of glass doors, letting in the light from a 425-sq ft secluded garden framed by a new wood fence, curated planting beds, and a large patio. Upstairs oak floors are handsomely framed in a cherry border. The kitchen has yards of an L-shaped granite counter with breakfast bar, painted white cabinets and full-sized stainless-steel appliances, including Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher and stove. Options for ways to arrange the furniture are plentiful, with ample room for both large dinner parties and luxurious repose. A coat closet and full bath with shower complete the rear portion of the apartment, with a second full bath and a master bedroom with a large closet and triple bay with original set-in shutters toward the front.
Down a proper flight of stairs is an expansive den with an interior windowed room, suitable for guests or as a study. There’s a third full bath on this level, as well as a laundry room, oversized pantry/storage area and additional closets. Glass doors lead out to a narrow patio, with stairs leading up to the garden. Amenities include central air, French drains and double sump pump, plus walls and walls of built-in shelves and cabinetry. With monthly common charges and real estate taxes totaling just over $1,000 per month, this is a very affordable way to have two levels of living -- and outdoor -- space in a sweet spot in the neighborhood. Here at the intersection of President Street and Prospect Park West, you’ll find yourself close to express trains, the Green Market at Grand Army Plaza, the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, and Brooklyn’s pride: its Museum and Botanic Garden. Access to shopping and dining on both Flatbush and Vanderbilt Avenues hold a dizzying number of delightful choices. If you’re looking for a home somewhere between an apartment and a townhouse, this could just be your perfect option.
