195 SPENCER STREET · #9A
Description
Rare one-bedroom condo with three private outdoor spaces and skyline views! Keyed-elevator access brings you directly into this sun-flooded home with exposed brick and hardwood floors, perched above a tree-lined Spencer Street. The west-facing balcony off the living room offers unobstructed, panoramic views of Manhattan, from the Freedom Tower to the Empire State Building - ideal for sunsets. There’s an easy flow to the open-plan layout, moving through the kitchen to the east side of the apartment, where morning light floods into a dining area, naturally doubling as a home office. The south and east-facing, king-sized bedroom opens onto its own private terrace - a peaceful, generous space where a garden actually gets planted. From there, a spiral staircase climbs to a private roof deck with more Brooklyn and Manhattan views. City-living is made easy with a Nest-controlled central air/heat system, vented washer/dryer in-unit, video intercom and a fully-equipped kitchen with ample storage and stainless steel appliances - including a Bosch dishwasher. The 421A tax abatement runs through 2031, which meaningfully lowers carrying costs compared to most Brooklyn condos in this category. The building is currently completing an elevator modernization, adding long-term infrastructure value. 195 Spencer Street sits at the convenient intersection of Bed-Stuy and Clinton Hill. Within 1-2 blocks is the Bedford-Nostrand G train, Citi Bike docks and the B38, B44, and B54 bus lines. Herbert Von King Park, Fort Greene Park, and the Pratt Institute campus are all within walking distance. With Bar Birba, The Swan, C’mon Everybody, Greenberg's Bagels, Fan Fan Donuts, Samurai Papa, and Brooklyn Kolache nearby, there’s a great mix of neighborhood dining options. *Common charges listed above include an 18-month special assessment (Feb’26-Aug’27) *$399 base common charges + $410 assessment through June’26; July‘26 assessment comes down to $270/month until Aug ‘27
