About 280 Ocean Pkwy Unit 5S

This bright and airy corner one-bedroom jewel dazzles with sunlight, unobstructed western views, and an unbeatably low maintenance of just $450.07 per month. Pre-war charm abounds in this classic beauty with a gracious layout that features a proper entry foyer with arched moldings and French doors leading to a generously proportioned living room with a dining area. The windowed cook’s kitchen has cherry wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, while a peaceful and sunny bedroom with southern and western exposures overlooks the charming rooftops and houses of Kensington. There is also a large windowed, renovated bath and three generous closets. High ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, and prewar details complete this enchanting sanctuary in prime Kensington. Classically designed and built in 1941, this boutique cooperative has a grand entrance lobby, lush landscaped grounds, a new community room, a large central laundry, and bicycle and additional storage, which can be rented upon availability (currently waitlisted). Exceptionally managed and meticulously maintained with a dedicated live-in superintendent, the building features new windows and updated elevators and intercom systems. 280 Ocean Parkway is nestled on a tree-lined corridor set back from the avenue. Its sought-after location offers easy access to the F and G lines on Church Avenue and the Q Express on Beverly Road. A thriving retail corridor with many wonderful options for shopping and dining is close by on Cortelyou Road and Church Avenue. 280 Ocean is in close proximity to the bike path, Prospect Park for outdoor activities, and the famed Greenwood Cemetery, a national historic landmark. Light, views, space, affordability, and a stellar location make this the perfect place to call home. Cats are welcome in this cooperative; sorry, no dogs, please. There is currently a $50.67 monthly capital assessment until January 2026.
