400 E 17Th St

A seven-story postwar cooperative located in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, built in 1962. The mid-rise structure is elevator-served and combines modest midcentury proportions with periodic modern updates to its systems and common areas. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, many with generous entry foyers, formal dining or dining-area niches, eat-in or galley-style kitchens, high ceilings, and significant built-in storage such as walk-in and multiple closets. Many residences feature large windows or walls of windows that admit abundant natural light; some apartments have private outdoor spaces ranging from compact terraces to large private terraces exceeding 300 square feet. Common building services and amenities are oriented to everyday convenience: a part-time doorman/door attendant, a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry, bicycle storage, a porter, and an updated intercom system. Garage parking is available on a waitlist basis. The building’s pet policy is cat-friendly but generally restricts dogs. Ground-floor and basement areas provide bike storage and laundry; some apartments include in-wall AC and soundproofing upgrades. Management emphasizes steady maintenance and occasional assessments for capital improvements. Sited a short walk from the Cortelyou Road Q train and other transit options, the building sits amidst Cortelyou Road’s retail strip and food market culture, with easy pedestrian access to Prospect Park, neighborhood restaurants, grocers and community amenities. The overall character blends a residential, suburban-scaled Brooklyn feel with the conveniences of a full-service cooperative building.
