With a NEW LOWER PRICE  and a SPECIAL 5.5% mortgage rate for qualified first-time buyers through Valley National Bank (subject to change), it's now possible to own this beautiful prewar co-op for roughly what many pay in monthly rent - but instead of paying your landlord, you'll be building equity in your own home. This freshly painted and move-in ready home pairs original architectural details with thoughtful upgrades, offering a flexible floor plan with multiple work-from-home options. The unit has been virtually staged to show its lovely potential. The gracious entry foyer, featuring original hardwood floors and high ceilings, provides a versatile space that can serve as a dining area, home office, or welcoming landing zone. The recently renovated, windowed kitchen is as stylish as it is functional, with a marble tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (including a French-door refrigerator and full-size dishwasher), generous counter space, and ample cabinetry. The expansive living room is designed for flexibility. Currently divided into two areas by sliding translucent doors, the main space accommodates a full living setup, while the adjoining area functions as a dining room, office, or guest space. The sliding doors may also be opened or removed entirely and easily to restore the original layout, as shown in the alternate floor plan.  A king-sized bedroom offers room for multiple configurations, including space for nightstands, dressers, and a home office. The updated, windowed bathroom includes a classic shower-tub combo. This elevator building offers bike storage, rentable private storage units, laundry rooms, and a shared outdoor space. Located just three blocks from the B/Q trains at Newkirk Plaza and near neighborhood favorites like Coffee Mob Roastery, Westwood, and Milk & Honey, the home also offers easy access to Cortelyou Road's shops, restaurants, a post office, banks, and the year-round Sunday farmers market - as well as nearby Prospect Park.
