Arguably one of the best apartments in Ditmas Park, this top-floor, pet-friendly home on a picturesque street is a rare find. Spectacular apartments like this one, with stunning expansive views, outdoor space, and large sunlit rooms do not come on the market often.

It is currently configured as a spacious two bedroom, plans to convert 6B to a three bedroom are already board and DOB approved (see alternate floor plan). Thoughtfully renovated with tasteful finishes, this home boasts a rare combination of desirable features: a private terrace, an eat-in kitchen, four exposures, prewar details, original oak floors, built-in bookshelves, updated electrical with wiring for projector, recessed lighting, and all new windows with custom blinds.

At the entrance, an alcove and two closets provide storage before the foyer opens onto a large living room with big, south-facing windows that look out onto the rooftops of the beautiful Victorian homes of landmarked Prospect Park South. The open plan of the main space allows for a flexible layout that can comfortably accommodate both a living and dining area. Off of this space is a lovely terrace that provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the leafy neighborhood and the Verrazzano Bridge beyond, with the perfect vantage point from which to watch the sunset every day.

The oversized bedrooms flank the living room, each one accessed through extra-wide pocket doors with textured glass that offer both privacy and light. Both bedrooms have dual exposures and three windows. The main bedroom has both a walk-in closet fitted with convenient shelves and drawers and a second smaller custom California closet. Its windowed, ensuite bathroom is full sized with a bathtub. The second bedroom, equally large, also has a windowed, ensuite bathroom with a carrara marble tiled shower.

The modern and bright eat-in kitchen has western and northern exposures. You can sip your coffee and see the Empire State Building beyond the treetops of Prospect Park in the distance. There are deep storage drawers, an undermount sink, grey quartz countertops, a Bosch dishwasher, and a recessed Fisher & Paykel refrigerator with an extra storage nook above.>br>

1409 Albemarle Road is an elegant, well maintained pre-war building that is smaller than most of the neighborhood's co-ops. The quiet street features grassy center meridians, which are part of the Flatbush Malls that were designed in the 1890s by Scottish landscape architect John Aiken. These park-like islands, the building's front and back yards, as well as Prospect Park two blocks away, are perfect for socially distanced picnics and gatherings. This unique location is even host to the neighborhood's annual Halloween parade. The building has an elevator, a live-in super, bike room, storage, and a laundry room. Close to the B express and Q trains, and the shops, restaurants, and cafes of Church Avenue and Cortelyou Road, such as Wheated, Cafe Madeline, King Mother, Mimi's Hummus, and more. Cortelyou is also home to the Flatbush Food Co-op and a weekly, year-round farmers market, and the building is less than half a mile away from the new Kensington dog run.
