140 Eighth Avenue is coveted for its proximity to Prospect Park, bucolic double courtyard, and exemplary Art Deco details. Arrive at serene No. 1-O via a glorious elongated lobby and find a spacious two-bedroom, one-bath apartment. The foyer, which has three closets, opens to a nearly 300 square-foot dining and living room. The oversized galley kitchen has been completely renovated with cherry cabinets, 16 linear feet of granite countertop - chefs and bakers rejoice! -- a breakfast bar with built-in cookbook shelf, a stone-and-mosaic backsplash, five-burner stove and double oven, side by side refrigerator, and a full-sized dishwasher. The bathroom has also been gut renovated to bring a modern twist to the building's art deco history: white subway tile running halfway up the walls, Kohler toilet and pedestal sink, a proper extra deep full-sized tub, step-in shower with mosaic inset, and an elegant marble basket-weave tiled floor. The primary bedroom is a walloping 228 square feet with two closets and corner windows; the other could be used as a spacious study or perfect second bedroom. The building maintains a full staff of door attendants, live-in super and porter. There's a clean, well-lit laundry room in the basement. A bonus: maintenance INCLUDES electric! In addition to everything else desirable about 140 8th Avenue, its location is stellar: once out the door, you're within minutes of Prospect Park; another few blocks takes you to express trains, stores, restaurants, cafes, the Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden, the weekly farmer's market -- and all the historic grandeur that makes Grand Army Plaza, well, grand!
