Description

Welcome to this beautifully gut renovated Alcove studio that easily converts to a one-bedroom home in a full-service doorman building on the border of Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn. Each detail has been meticulously planned and designed for gracious and comfortable living.
This, high floor, turn key home offers stunning renovation throughout, incredible storage and beautiful natural sunlight all day long. There is a chef's style kitchen with gas range, dishwasher and plenty of counter space for the at home chef.
The Robert Livingston, is a well established cooperative with live-in super, 24-hour doormen, porters and maintenance crew.

There is card-operated laundry in the basement, private storage, bike storage and monthly on-site parking (storage parking for a fee and depend on availability). ALL UTILITIES ARE INCLUDED in the maintenance: electric, gas, water, heat and air. Co-purchasing, gifts, and guarantors are accepted, and pets are welcome.

Located at the crossroads Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill converge, with direct access to the best of Brooklyn. Walk around the corner to prime commercial thoroughfares, Atlantic Avenue, Court Street and Smith Street, each lined with fabulous dining and shops. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Perelandra Natural Food Center are just a few of the many groceries nearby, as well as a well regarded farmer's market at Borough Hall.

Go anyplace in the city with direct train access; the 2,3,4,5,A,C,F and R trains are all nearby, and just a short walk to the Promenade and recently completed Brooklyn Bridge Park. At 85 Livingston, you will live in the beating heart of Brooklyn, but you will also be minutes from Manhattan. The location couldn't be better.
Please note that in addition to the maintenance, there is a $106.85 operating assessment (pending the building's commercial space occupancy) and a $206.57 capital assessment to 2026 for building improvements including lobby renovation, new roof deck, new windows, a new gym and more.

The maintenance is approximately 65% tax deductible.
