645 East 26th Street #3A

This rare gem is a “Classic 6” 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment that feels like a forever home. With over 1,400 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in a pet-friendly prewar elevator building, this residence blends charm and practicality seamlessly. Original hardwood floors are impeccably preserved, and high ceilings create an airy, open atmosphere. The adjacent living room and dining area feature graceful archways, original built-in curio shelves, and an abundance of natural light from multiple exposures. West-facing windows in the living room and primary bedroom bathe the space in afternoon sunlight and sunset views, while cross breezes and sleek modern ceiling fans in the bedrooms enhance comfort. Freshly painted throughout, this apartment is move-in ready.

The spacious, updated kitchen is perfect for both cooking and entertaining. Freshly painted wooden cabinets and contrasting black quartz countertops provide generous storage and ample workspace. The new wood-look luxury vinyl plank flooring is easy to maintain, and the suite of brand-new Frigidaire stainless steel appliances includes a double-door fridge with an integrated water filter and ice maker, a 5-burner stove, a microwave, and a full-sized dishwasher. There’s even space for a counter or café table to create a cozy eat-in area. A large south-facing window brings in light and fresh air as you cook.

The expansive primary bedroom offers two large west-facing windows, an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, and two closets. There’s plenty of room for a king-sized bed, dresser, desk, reading nook, and yoga mat. The vintage hall bathroom has been refreshed with new fixtures, including an illuminated medicine cabinet, a new shower body, and faucets. The second bedroom is also king-sized and offers flexible space for various furniture configurations, with a closet for added storage. The third bedroom, while smaller, remains spacious and is perfect for an office, guest room, or third bedroom.

Located at 645 East 26th Street, this apartment sits on a quiet, tree-lined street. Blocks from Brooklyn College, Midwood High School, and PS 152, the nearby Bedford and Glenwood playground offers outdoor recreation, while Flatbush Junction is a hub for transportation and shopping, including the Triangle Junction Shopping Center with Target, HomeGoods, and Aldi, just four blocks away. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Brooklyn College’s track and soccer field are nearby, and the building is only a 20-minute drive to Riis Beach.

This well maintained, pet-friendly co-op offers an appealing combination of space and charm. The coop also includes ample storage and bike storage options, as well as a recently updated laundry room. The vibrant neighborhood and nearby amenities make this a lovely place to call home.
