This thoughtfully renovated 1,000-square-foot Prospect Lefferts Gardens home at 125 Ocean Avenue is a perfectly elegant blend of custom comforts, striking design, and gracious pre-war proportions. Asking $700,000, the one-bedroom (plus home office space) co-op is framed by Art Deco details, like a sunken living room and gracefully arched doorways, with modern additions, adding up to a sophisticated 21st-century home across from Prospect Park.
Crisp white walls with plaster details frame polished parquet wood floors. Contemporary upgrades include ductless A/C, a reverse osmosis water purification system, and built-in sound throughout.
A large entry foyer with two custom closets leads to a sunken living room framed by original 1930s wrought iron railings. Tucked away from the living room, a windowed office nook is accented by dramatic black walls and built-ins.
The soundproofed kitchen is appointed with custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and chef-ready appliances beneath a beamed wood ceiling and designer lighting. There’s room for a dining table and buffet between the living room and the office.
The large bedroom has a walk-in closet and newly installed noise-blocking windows. In the windowed bath, vintage tile adds a hit of color to a clean vintage vibe. In another blend of modern and vintage, a cast iron tub holds a frameless glass-doored shower.
The pet-friendly co-op offers a live-in super and laundry facilities. Best of all, Prospect Park is just across the street.
