No detail is overlooked in the seven apartments, which all have floor-to-ceiling windows, 10’ ceilings, central heat and air conditioning, video intercoms, and washer/dryer hookups. Masterfully crafted kitchens are outfitted with Caesarstone countertops, a full Miele appliance suite, and custom cabinetry with soft touch drawers, built-in organizers, and under-cabinet lighting.
Many apartments have private outdoor space, and all residents have access to a common roof terrace with beautiful Brooklyn and Manhattan skyline views. Restaurants on surrounding blocks include Cent’Anni, Mayfield, Berg’n, and Franklin Park make 679 Franklin Avenue a foodie’s paradise. Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Franklin Avenue subway stop are a short walk away.
A one-bedroom home has already entered contract, and remaining one-bedrooms start at $559K. Additionally, a two-bedroom penthouse with two private terraces off the Great Room and bedrooms is listed for $1.025 million. At an average price of $1,077 per square foot, 679 Franklin Avenue is above the Crown Heights average of $927 per square foot (per CityRealty data). See more listings here.
