Description
Welcome to Unit #2 at 917 President Street, an impeccable three bedroom, one bath co-op occupying the full floor of a rare, extra-wide 25.5-foot-wide historic brownstone, just half a block from Prospect Park. This exceptionally spacious home combines timeless pre-war charm with modern updates, including original architectural details like artfully inlaid floors, elegant crown molding, and soaring ceilings. The expansive living room is bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling bay windows, while exposed brick and a decorative mantel fireplace add warmth and character.
The newly renovated open kitchen features a breakfast bar and seamlessly blends high-end appliances with the home’s classic aesthetic. The first of three bedrooms lies off the main living room, while two additional quiet rear bedrooms are complemented by French doors leading to your very own private, tree-lined 400-square-foot terrace—perfect for outdoor entertaining or a peaceful retreat. Custom closets throughout maximize storage, and the updated bathroom, in-unit laundry, and split-unit heat pumps for air conditioning and supplemental heat ensure year-round comfort and convenience.
This co-op is located in a meticulously maintained building, which recently completed a full renovation of its basement and plumbing systems. The basement includes dedicated storage for each unit—about 45 square feet per apartment, with two shelves and an open space for additional belongings. The building also benefits from a new boiler and hot water heaters, all replaced within the last five years. Thanks to the building's lack of an underlying mortgage, the monthly maintenance fee is remarkably low at just $988.
The 25.5-foot width of the building is especially rare and provides generous space not only in the apartment but throughout the common areas, which retain their historic charm with original woodwork and detail. Additional building amenities include common laundry and basement storage for bikes and strollers. Zoned for the coveted PS 321 school and just a short walk to the Grand Army Plaza Farmer’s Market, vibrant North Slope, and the 2/3/B/Q trains, this home offers the best of both serenity and convenience in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Please note: no pets allowed.
