Where timeless prewar character meets the effortless rhythm of coastal living, this bright and beautifully proportioned one-bedroom residence offers an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Brighton Beach. Encompassing approximately 700 square feet, the apartment enjoys a sunny southern exposure and partial ocean views from both the living room and bedroom-all just moments from the iconic Coney Island Boardwalk and the Atlantic Ocean. The residence is in need of renovation, presenting an exciting opportunity to thoughtfully reimagine the interiors and create a personalized beachside retreat. Classic parquet hardwood floors extend throughout, while a charming breakfast nook sits just beyond the windowed kitchen. The spacious bedroom features two windows for refreshing cross-ventilation, and the windowed bathroom welcomes natural light. Four closets provide generous storage within this highly functional layout. Set within a distinctive six-story, elevator-equipped prewar cooperative, the building welcomes residents through an elegant Art Deco-style lobby and offers the convenience of a live-in superintendent, porter, laundry facilities, an updated intercom system, secured fob entry, and security cameras throughout the lobby and every floor. Municipal parking may be arranged directly across the street, while nearby B and Q trains, B1 and B68 buses, the Belt Parkway, restaurants, specialty markets, and neighborhood conveniences place the best of Brooklyn within easy reach. With monthly maintenance of just $757.56, no flip tax upon resale, and a flexible board-approval process, this residence presents compelling value as either a primary home or an idyllic coastal getaway. Pied-a-terre arrangements may be considered, and purchases by parents for children or by children for parents are permitted.
