Whenever an apartment in Park Slope’s coveted Ansonia Court at 420 12th Street pops up on the market, it gets noticed. The former Ansonia Clock Company factory is a favorite in the idyllic Brooklyn neighborhood, with its industrial buildings arranged around a verdant courtyard. The charming co-op apartments within offer rustic 11-foot beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls, and arched loft windows; this two-bedroom residence–a one-flight walk-up asking $1,495,000–is a fine example.
Sunlight from northern and southern exposures reveals gently patinaed hardwood floors. South-facing windows overlook the building’s park-like interior courtyard with its cobblestoned fountain, trees, flower beds, and benches.
A bright, open kitchen is anchored by a long dining and prep island with lots of storage. A built-in cooktop sits below a sleek, black range hood surrounded by floating open shelves. Warm wood cabinetry adds to the organic, rustic loft vibe.
Two large bedrooms have clever built-in storage. One bedroom converts from a spacious home office to a guest chamber in minutes as built-in shelving becomes a pull-down Murphy bed. The second bedroom also boasts efficient built-ins, a ceiling fan, and arched factory windows.
The home’s only bath is colorful and bright, with a walk-in shower, subway-tiled surfaces, and a soaring beamed ceiling.
The pet-friendly co-op permits subletting–and possibly co-purchasing, guarantors, and pieds-à-terre (with board approval). The building offers a full-time superintendent, a package room, and bike storage. There’s also a separate parking garage on the same block.
