Views from this one-bedroom on the 17th floor of the Saint George Tower take in the city's most beautifully historic neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. The apartment's windows, which have a west-north exposure, overlook three bridges (Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg) and the Manhattan skyline, including the Freedom Tower. It has been refurbished from top to bottom during the eight years the current owner has resided here. Every wall was replaced and the ceilings were raised. Beautiful maple wood floors with wide classic moldings have replaced the old wood tiles. An open kitchen-living-dining floor plan was installed to provide a sense of space and--most importantly--take advantage of the jaw-dropping views. The kitchen area features an island with ample food preparation space and room for bar chairs, behind which contain a roomy below-counter pantry. The dishwasher and refrigerator are brand new and the stovetop and oven are Bertazzoni. In the last two years, the owner added two new clothing closets and installed built-ins in the existing walk-in closet to maximize its efficiency. The bathroom has been upgraded with classic subway tile and a new shower. A custom-designed 10-foot long, floor-to-ceiling built-in has been installed in the living area to provide a home for the flat screen TV, shelving for artwork, artifacts, books and albums in addition to storage space in the unit's base with 6 giant drawers. In addition to the view from your 17th floor apartment, the 27th floor roof deck offers the most magnificent 360-degree view in all of Brooklyn--possibly NYC! You can see six bridges, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, all of Brooklyn, as well as Governor's Island, New Jersey and Staten Island. It's truly breathtaking. Life at the Saint George has numerous conveniences. There's no need for a costly and space hogging washer/dryer when there's a laundry room with three washers and three dryers located right on the floor. Time it right (which is easy) and you can do three loads of laundry in less than two hours! Also on the floor is a garbage shoot and recycling bins - no taking your refuse down to the basement! In the basement there are private storage units and a bike room. The newly refurbished art deco lobby contains a package room and leads to a ramp and elevator to accommodate baby strollers, shopping carts, or wheelchairs. Most importantly the 24-hour concierge and maintenance staff become like family - they are friendly, helpful, responsive, caring and competent. AND (as if this isn't enough) the Saint George is located two blocks from the iconic Brooklyn Heights promenade, and is a walking bridge away from the Brooklyn Bridge Parks stretching the East River with easy access to ferries, DUMBO restaurants and carousel, and Downtown Brooklyn. The neighborhood is filled with restaurants, salons, shops, multiple markets, including a Saturday Green Market. One subway stop from Manhattan, there is easy access to the 2, 3, 4, 5, A/C, R and F trains. The current owner has lived here for eight years without a car. Really, there is no better place to live.
