"Newswalk" - 535 Dean Street - was originally built in 1927. This neighborhood gem once housed the printing press for the New York Daily News and was converted into a condominium in 2002. The building has recently been upgraded with a new front landscaped courtyard, bright lobby, and enhanced gym. The building is in such good condition that the common charges have recently been reduced. These apartments rarely come on the market and sell fast! This gorgeous, bright loft features 12-foot ceilings and mixes modern chic with industrial steel in a layout perfect for a family. This open, spacious home features an expansive living room with oversized windows and a view of Manhattan's skyline, including the Empire State Building and Chrysler Tower. A focal point of this apartment is the steel staircase and accordion steel and glass doors. The staircase leads to an upper loft - perfect as a media room or kids playroom. Below is a bedroom and a wall of closets. The bedroom doors open to let the owners wake up to the skyline of Manhattan each morning. The second bedroom is also lofted and fits beds on both the ground level and loft, truly maximizing the height of the 12-foot ceiling. There is even a "secret" trap door leading one from the second bedroom to the media/playroom loft. The square footage listed does not include the lofts, which adds an additional 300 square feet. The open kitchen is perfect for entertaining guests and features a large center island, granite countertops, a dishwasher, and stainless steel appliances. This loft includes central heating, exposed original detail, dimmer-controlled lighting, a ton of storage, and a very spacious layout. The building has a huge array of full-service amenities such as a 24-hour concierge/ doorman, super on premises, indoor valet parking and parking garage, bike storage, a newly built indoor entertainment room, and a luxury fitness center with new equipment. A huge asset of Newswalk is the 18,000 sq. ft. common rooftop space with BBQ seating areas, grills, and children's playground. There is a J-51 Tax Abatement until 2021. At the intersection of Park Slope, Prospect heights, and Fort Greene this area has it all. You can't ask for better access to trains with nearly every train line at Atlantic Center (2,3,4,5, D,B,Q,N,M), as well as the LIRR. The flavor of Brooklyn's boutiques and great restaurants are all a stone's throw away on 5th Avenue, Vanderbilt, Fulton, and a 5-minute walk to the Barclay Center.
