This lovely prewar one-bedroom co-op has grand proportions and loads of charm. Its arched entryway opens onto a gracious central foyer, used by the owner as a dining room and easily accommodating gatherings of six or more. Double archways lead to the bright and inviting eat-in kitchen with lots of great features: soapstone counter tops, a built-in drainboard, pretty cabinetry, handmade clay tiles, pull-out under-cabinet storage, deep drawers, a counter-depth fridge, original pine floors and wainscoting. Just off the kitchen are a large walk-in pantry and a separate, ample linen closet. Another arched doorway leads to the oversized living room with a wall of beautiful built-ins salvaged from an Upper East Side townhouse, providing tons of storage for books and media. The large, nicely private bedroom has two exposures, a very deep closet, and an elegant built-in wardrobe unit with both shelves and drawers. Adjacent to the bedroom is a windowed full bath with white hex tiles and a pedestal sink. The apartment overlooks a lush perennial garden designed and tended by the owner who studied at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Vines trail across bluestone tiles, climbing hydrangeas adorn the wrought iron fence, and a Japanese maple adds height and grace to the landscape. Adding to this home's special features are extra deep closets and hardwood floors throughout. 601 East 19th is located on a quiet tree-lined street in Ditmas Park. The well-kept building is pet friendly - dogs and cats are welcome! - and has especially strong financials, high owner-occupancy, and low maintenance costs. Amenities include an elevator, live-in super, porter, two laundry rooms, and a bike room, as well as on-site electronics and fabric recycling. Very close to the B and Q trains and the many shops, restaurants, and cafes of Newkirk Avenue, including Milk and Honey, Coffee Mob, and the Ox Tavern. A short distance from Cortelyou Road amenities and year-round farmer's market as well as Prospect Park.
