Extra low maintenance home with 5.5% 30 year fixed financing for first-time buyers. This magnificent loft-like three-bedroom apartment in a highly sought-after pet-friendly co-op is a rare find. Stunning corner-unit apartments like this one, with three exposures, lovely treetop views, and a brilliantly efficient layout, do not come on the market every day. This one is a must-see! Enter into a gracious and practical landing area that is nicely hidden from the main space. There you'll find beautiful architect designed built-ins that will tidily store your things: a deep bench with tucked-away shoe cubbies, coat hooks, and a big outfitted closet. Opposite these is a sleek wall-mounted storage unit for stowing keys and mail. An additional roomy hall closet with three mirrored sliding-door panels is to the left. Beyond the foyer wall is an enormous east-facing open-plan living/dining space that can be configured in many different ways to match your needs. Three large east-facing windows create a gorgeous wall-of-windows effect that lends a bright and airy feel to the room. Adjacent to this main area is a luxuriously stylish kitchen that has so many great features: lots of counter space, quartz countertops, a recessed nook to neatly house appliances, a big baker's island and a breakfast bar that both have tons of storage, a wine fridge, beautiful custom cabinetry, water filter, and recessed lighting. Off the kitchen, and opposite the main living space, is a spacious second common room that can be used as office space, playroom, den, library or media room. Separate from the common areas are three bedrooms, two of which are each accessed through stealthy pocket doors that flank a hallway. The larger of these bedrooms has two exposures, an en-suite bathroom with a stall shower, a platform for a queen-sized bed, and built-in storage and side table. The second of these has custom built-in bunk beds and closet/storage space. The very bright primary bedroom has southern and western exposures and an extra wide closet. Adjacent to the primary bedroom is a pleasant, windowed full bath. This special home also has wide-plank oak flooring with cork soundproofing subfloor throughout and a dedicated laundry room with a side-by-side washer/dryer, storage, and a convenient surface for folding. Stylish details abound such as tasteful and unique light fixtures, Flavor Paper wallpaper in two rooms, and custom closet doors from Sliding Door Company. Berkeley Square is a popular art deco co-op with exceedingly strong financials, no underlying mortgage, healthy reserves, and affordable maintenance.

One block from the B and Q trains at Church Avenue and close to the revamped Kings Theatre, as well as all the amenities of Church Avenue and Cortelyou Road, including the year-round Cortelyou farmers market.
