$599,000 Kensington co-op gets plenty of light for your plant collection

Kensington tends to be an overlooked neighborhood, but it’s close to Green-Wood Cemetery and the southeastern end of Prospect Park, and this building at 350 Ocean Parkway is also right near all the shops and restaurants on Cortelyou Road and Church Avenue. Plus, the price is most certainly right for this $599,000 co-op. The listing says it’s one-and-a-half bedrooms, but the second room is still plenty bright and big. And speaking of bright, the unit gets natural light from three exposures, perfect for this lovely plant collection.

Up on the fifth floor, “on the quieter side of the building,” a long entry hall conceals two closets and leads to the open living/dining room. An exposed brick wall, oversized windows, and additional light coming from the adjacent rooms make this the perfect spot for a plant collection. The French doors are original to the 1962 co-op.

Of the living room is the modern, colorful kitchen that boasts teal lacquered kitchen, mixed tiles, and a dishwasher.

Adjacent to the kitchen is what’s labeled on the floorplan as the formal dining room, but what’s currently configured as a second bedroom/den.

The bedroom is off the other side of the living room. It has two closets, and the bathroom (which is super sleek and stylish) is just outside in the hall.

The building, known as Glen Park Coop, has a central laundry, video security, composting, package room, keyless entry, indoor parking in a newly renovated garage (waitlisted), bike storage, newly installed elevators, and a live-in super. It’s just a few minutes from the F/G trains at Church Ave and the Q at both Cortelyou and Beverly Road.
