Well laid out corner studio with pre-war charm and modern appointments, including exposed beams and beautiful wood floors. Flexible layout: presently there is a Murphy bed; an alternate configuration would be putting up a wall to create a separate bedroom as other owners have done in this line. Well-designed open kitchen with polished marble counters, Bosch refrigerator, Blue Star stove, dishwasher, lots of cabinet space, and a separate eating nook. The marble bathroom has a window. And there's lots of closet space for a studio: the entry foyer has a large walk-in closet, there's custom built-in closets on both sides of the Murphy bed, and a closet and additional storage in the dressing area. And you won't have to go downstairs to do laundry - there is a laundry room right across the hall!
Looking west there are amazing views across the East River to lower Manhattan and the South Street Seaport, and looking north you look out at the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Once part of the famous St. George Hotel, designed by famed architect Emery Roth and converted to a cooperative in the 1980's, The St. George Tower is full service building with a 24 hour doorman, live-in super, and an on-site building manager. There's a bike room and private storage. And there is the magnificent 27th floor roof terrace, with 360 degree views of the Harbor, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. The building is pet friendly, there is NO Flip Tax, and gifting and subletting are allowed. There is presently an assessment of $129.17.
The St. George Tower is right in the heart of Brooklyn Heights; the famous Promenade and its stunning views are only two blocks away. Brooklyn Bridge Park is nearby. And you're close to the neighborhood's wonderful shops, cafe's, and restaurants. DUMBO is nearby. There's great access to public transportation- the 2 and 3 trains are right around the corner, and the A & C trains are minutes' away. Lower Manhattan is only one stop away on both subway lines, providing the fastest commute possible to Manhattan from anywhere in Brooklyn.
