Description NO FEE. Really beautiful, big (1,000 sq. ft.) 7-room, floor-through apartment (5 rooms + kitchen and bath) on 2nd floor of owner-occupied, limestone home on East 10th St., a tree-lined block in PROSPECT PARK SOUTH. We're just around the corner from the park's Parade Grounds, Tennis Center, and Kensington horse-riding stables, and minutes walk to the lake and ice-skating rink in PROSPECT PARK. AVAILABLE MAY 1st, POSSIBLY SOONER. The apartment includes heat and hot water and hardwood floors throughout with a parquet floor in one of the large rooms, high ceilings, and beautiful original woodwork in this 99 year-old building. There are bay windows in the front and back rooms, allowing direct sunlight to stream in the back room in the morning and the front room in the afternoon. The newly updated kitchen, with its pressed tin ceiling and garden view, features a quartz countertop and new, high-end stainless steel stove, dish-washer, and refrigerator. THIS IS A NON-SMOKING HOME/BUILDING. The Tenant pays own electricity and gas bills. The rent is $3,000 per month, with one month's rent and security to start. There is NO AGENT OR AGENT'S FEE. Good credit and stable income are required, as are references. TRANSPORTATION: We are conveniently located between the Q/B trains at Church Ave. and the F/G trains at Fort Hamilton Parkway. Each is about an 8-10 minute walk. We also have buses (the B35, B68, B16 and B103) and an express bus nearby, that takes you to Manhattan in 20 minutes during rush hours. We are both licensed Creative Arts Therapists. We have lived here for about 24 years. Since we live in the house, we are very responsive when things come up. This neighborhood is nestled between Windsor Terrace, Kensington, and Ditmas Park, all within walking distance to a variety of destinations. We are around the corner from restaurants and cafes, which for the most part offer delivery, takeout, and some offer outdoor seating (Lark, Wheated, AM Thai, Das Pioneer, La Loba Cantina, Hinterlands Bar, etc). A few minutes walk farther will take you to Werkstatt, a German/Viennese restaurant that New York Magazine's Grub Street column has declared serves "the city's greatest pretzel"! It is mouth-watering. We're also a 10-15 minute walk from Cortelyou Rd., where there are more cafes, restaurants and bars (Sycamore, Castello Plan, Mimi's Hummus, Purple Yam, Bar Chord for the live jazz enthusiastetc, etc), 3 health-food stores, lots of grocery options, wine stores, a Sunday farmers' market, and a library. Another 5 to10-minute walk towards Kensington or Windsor Terrace will take you to more: another library, Lofty Pigeon Books, the adorable neighborhood Windsor Terrace Food Coop, Hamilton's, Brancaccio's, Juice Box wine store, and a classic bar called Shenanigan's, where they host a Karaoke night on Saturdays. A 5-minute bus ride or 20-minute walk north along Prospect Park Southwest will bring you to a Wednesday and Sunday farmers' market and the multi-faceted, multiplex movie theater called the Nighthawk Cinema Park Slope, where you can be served a chic meal/coffee during the movie or in their cafe/bar. The apartment's garden view becomes more lush as spring turns into summer and fall. And for even bigger, grander views, Prospect Park is just one long-block's walk away, offering opportunities to exercise and to commune with nature, while watching the ducks and swans in the lake, riding paddle-boats on the lake, and watching the sunset over the lake. *Pets are on a case-by-case basis. Cats and well-trained dogs are okay. Please note: We do not want to be contacted by real estate brokers.
