Welcome to 657 East 26th Street #1S, a beautifully renovated, move-in ready two-bedroom apartment at the crossroads of Ditmas Park and Victorian Flatbush. Offering smart updates, gracious proportions, and a versatile layout, this home perfectly blends prewar charm with modern convenience.
The heart of the apartment is the expansive living and dining area, which spans over 28 feet from the foyer to the far windows. This open-concept space is brightly refreshed with recessed lighting, freshly painted walls, and gleaming original hardwood floors, providing an inviting atmosphere for both grand entertaining and quiet nights at home. The layout is thoughtfully designed to accommodate a full-sized dining set alongside a generous seating arrangement. The versatile space could also be used as a home office.
The newly reimagined kitchen is a standout feature, equipped with stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and microwave. It boasts elegant quartz countertops, sleek cabinetry with abundant storage, and a large window that provides natural light and essential ventilation. Just across the hall, the windowed bathroom has been fully renovated with modern finishes, featuring a soaking tub and a contemporary vanity.
