Around the corner from the Brooklyn Museum, Botanical Garden, and all that Eastern Parkway has to offer, Apartment B4 at the Monticello will welcome you home at the end of the day into a quiet and calming sanctuary.

 Apartment B4 is just one flight up but it may feel like you're a world away from the hustle of Washington and Vanderbilt Avenues, despite being less than a block from the 2/3 trains.

 Gleaming original hardwood floors and crown molding throughout the apartment add extra old-world panache. When you walk in, you will notice the foyer is large enough to sit down and take your wet boots off on the ceramic-tiled floor, and three closets to keep   your belongings out of sight and out of mind.

 Enter into the nearly 17' living room with a ceiling fan. With over 200 square feet in this room alone, furniture will not have to be cramped together; they do not build living rooms this big these days. From here, head into a spacious pass-thru kitchen with   dishwasher, as well as laundry machines. There is enough room and storage for even the most discerning and gadget-wielding home chef to cook comfortably.

 The 15' bedroom off the living room is large enough for any size bed as well as all the furniture you could ever need. The 2nd bedroom is sunlit, sizable and contains a full closet as well as overhead storage to keep the things tidy.

 These spacious homes were built for comfort with little details that are so often omitted in recent years. The ceilings are very high, which gives an airy feel to the perfectly proportioned rooms. The windowed bathroom is not near the kitchen. The apartment's   windows face 3 different directions, so ventilation and cross breeze keep it cool.

 Built in 1917, this 23-unit co-op 'The Monticello' has been maintained beautifully. Buildings of this era were constructed with a very different mindset than what is built today. The Monticello building retains its early 20th century charm while providing residents   with modern amenities including basement bike storage, shared laundry facilities, and two communal courtyards. Come embrace the old and the new in this charming building within one of Brooklyn's most favored neighborhoods.
