Bergen Modern, 735 Bergen Street, #1B

If your search is all haystack and no needle, we may just have the apartment for you. There’s lots to love here if you are looking for a home with plenty of light, an abundance of space, both indoors and out, and something close to transportation, shops, and restaurants. Filtered light illuminates both floors of this condo duplex, morning and afternoon, as the sun traces its path across your rear private garden. The floor plan says one-bedroom, but the layout is so much more.

Entering the apartment, you’ll immediately appreciate the details. Blonde herringbone wood floors are a welcome change from the usual designs. The kitchen is outfitted with chrome fixtures and a range of gorgeous stainless-steel appliances from Bosch and Fisher & Paykel, while the countertops are surfaced in durable white granite above custom cabinetry.

The open design and generous breakfast bar allow for flexible dining options. You can be the perfect host (or bartender) while whipping up a feast, all the time keeping up with the conversation at your adjacent dining table. The bedroom nearby also provides garden views and amply accommodates a queen size bed with plenty of space for storage. Bathrooms are kitted out with marble tiles all around.

Radiant heated floors, deep soaking tub, and Toto fixtures make it feel like you are at the spa. Heading down to the lower level, you’ll find the perfect place for your favorite pursuits. Is it a home gym and yoga space?

Perhaps a recording studio or screening room? Always wanted a place for that grand piano, or is ping pong more your thing? The open plan allows you to dream big, and the floor-to-ceiling windows make the space all the more inviting while the half bathroom and washer/dryer setup just add to the convenience.

The room seamlessly segues to the outdoor space where you will find a beautiful custom-built deck, invitingly furnished with an outdoor lounge and tables. It’s the perfect space for your horticultural dreams, or just to relax on a warm summer day. As the sun sets and the lights come on, you’ve got the dream location for your private soiree.

Situated just off Washington Avenue, and barely more than a block from Vanderbilt Avenue, you’ll find yourself located on the cusp of Prospect Heights, and rather conveniently, in the middle of all the fun when it comes to Brooklyn. Local favorites include Faun, Olmsted, Nrish, and Alta Calidad for dining, while Weather Up, Gold Star Beer Counter, and Bier Wax are the watering holes of choice for those in the know. Food Town and Mahfood are your go-to for day-to-day necessities and groceries, and the fabulous Natty Garden will satisfy the greenest of thumbs looking to outfit their outdoors - and in.

But what makes this neighborhood truly special is the proximity to both Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Whether you are there to sweat out a few laps or just lie on the lawn, you’ll be wondering how you ever lived without these two gems on your doorstep. The Brooklyn Public Library also resides nearby, as does Barclays Center, and with subway options surrounding you on Flatbush Avenue, Fulton St, and Eastern Parkway, you’ll always find getting around town a breeze.
