What makes a home special? Is it the size? Is it the ceiling height? Is it the finishes? In my experience it's impossible to point to only one thing because incredible spaces are more than that they are felt and not simply 'seen.'
This special home evolved over time and with loving intention by an owner/designer with a keen eye for fine materials and meticulous attention to detail. It is the product of talented people coming together to make a great space in a great building something more than the sum of its parts.
From the moment you open the door into a gracious entry foyer and look beyond to see the eastern light, you can tell that this generously sized apartment has it all, including windows in every room. Gut renovated to a very high standard without being pretentious, you feel the quality of the work, materials, and design at every turn. The refinished original oak floors, high ceilings, and JHworks custom millwork throughout enhance your daily quality of life while bringing a generous amount of storage for life's collections.
The expansive main living space brings you a sense of calm and the room to enjoy dining and entertaining, and the real highlight is the open kitchen, outfitted with award winning Henrybuilt custom cabinets which include an integrated Sub Zero refrigerator and Miele dishwasher. The kitchen was redesigned to seamlessly blend into the greater room to provide a foundation for you to enjoy your friends and family while you explore the world of cooking in style and ultimate functionality.
The oversized bedroom with custom California Closets storage is a sanctuary you will love each day, not just because of the size and gorgeous sunlight but because of the little details throughout like the incredible shoe closet, brass knobs, and lovely lighting. The windowed bath in this residence is one of the finest you will find in an apartment of this size. Designed with Waterworks marble, Dorbracht fixtures, and even a proper WC separation. Throughout the residence there are so many other details that it's impossible to describe.
Located in prime Park Slope, the residence is a block away from all that Prospect Park has to offer, including the weekly farmers market just a short stroll away. Shops, Restaurants and incredible Gourmet Stores are dotted everywhere around you, making for a quality of life that is truly superb. Last but not least 118 8th Avenue is a pristinely managed and cared for Art Deco Coop in excellent standing that will welcome you to an amazing community. Transportation is also quite easy as you have multiple subway and bus lines just a short walk from your door.
This is simply a special residence that must be seen to be appreciated and I look forward to showing it to you during your private appointment.
