Open Houses are by appointment only. Welcome to Residence 3: a sunny 3 bed/2 bath pre-war condo. 497 9th is a professionally managed historic 20-foot brownstone on a tree-lined block steps from Prospect Park. Inside a wide entry and up just two flights, the home stuns with modern comforts and a private roof area - outfitted with durable Ipe wood decking - that showcases views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty. The south-facing living area welcomes you with a large bay window, original tin ceiling, and solid maple hardwood. Built to entertain, the adjacent chef's kitchen features a marble countertop with space for an island, as well as a brand new GE gas range, oven, and microwave. A Bosch dishwasher (2022), garbage disposal, large Frigidaire refrigerator (2023), and in-unit W/D make convenience no object. Light filtering blinds have been installed throughout, and individual Mitsubishi City Multi HVAC systems heat and cool the space, in which the current owners diligently installed storm windows for added efficiency. Both north-facing bedrooms offer soft light, privacy, and quiet away from the street. The king-sized primary suite boasts a walk-in closet with custom California Closets buildouts and an en-suite bath with radiant heat floor, double vanity, and a marble walk-in shower. In the secondary bedroom, a sweet hand painted mural invites you in. The secondary bath includes a soaking tub for relaxation, and a bonus area in the hallway makes a perfect office, child changing area, or home gym. Communal storage and space for bikes can be found in the basement. Steps from the F/G trains and 7th Ave dining and shopping scene. Pet friendly.
