1br, 163 Washington Ave, Clinton Hill, $3,150

163 Washington Avenue is a new rental residence rising above all expectation in Brooklyn's new cultural frontier. The 17-story tower is modern, the apartments are sleek and the life is incomparable. Cosmopolitan style is the theme from the exposed concrete columns to the open-plan layouts to the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that frame sparkling views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines as well as the East River. Abundant natural light pours in by day, while the neon lights of NYC landmarks like the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge set the mood by night. These stunning views are complimented by premium finishes throughout your home. The kitchens are the definition of modern form and maximum functionality. Among the highlights: Caesar Stone kitchen counters, custom-made walnut cabinetry and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances from Fagor, Liebherr and Jenn-Air. Bathrooms strike a serene note with stainless Grohe fixtures, custom medicine chests and vanities and glass mosaic wall tiles. Each unit also is equipped with a Washer / Dryer unit. But 163 Washington is more than just a place to live well. It's also a place to play well. On the 2nd floor, a 5,000 SF fully landscaped lawn with loungers provides the perfect place to gaze and relax on a beautiful afternoon. A Zen garden provides the perfect getaway or ample space for a yoga session, while a state-of-the-art fitness center provides the adrenalin rush you crave, and the doorman makes coordinating your deliveries a breeze. The exceptional lifestyle options extend outside the building with the trend-setting new restaurants, boutiques and bars of Clinton Hill and Fort Greene. Heading out to Manhattan is as easy as stepping aboard the C train at Clinton-Washington. Available parking simplifies all your road trips, while optional storage units await any souvenirs you return with.
