Contemporary kitchens have lots of storage and a stainless steel appliance package including a paneled dishwasher. Bathrooms are sleek with dark fixtures, a glass shower wall and a large mirror. Rooms have individual climate controls and the larger-sized units have interior glass doors to spaces that can be used as a bedroom, an office or a guest room.
The new building is equipped with amenities including a gym with several cardio and weight-training machines, a large laundry room, bike storage, a communal yard, and a landscaped rooftop with places to lounge and take in the neighborhood views.
Transit options in the immediate require a short but pleasant walk to the F train at 18th Avenue and the B / Q trains at Newkirk Plaza. New residential buildings have recently opened elsewhere in the neighborhood including a rental at 581 Ocean Parkway and a condominium at 222 Parkville Avenue.
