495 E 7Th St

A mid-century low-rise cooperative located in Kensington, Brooklyn, the building was completed in 1962 and rises six stories with elevator service. The property contains mostly studio and one-bedroom layouts plus occasional larger two-bedroom plans, many featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, entry foyers and renovated kitchens with granite counters. Units often include alcoves or dining nooks, plentiful closet storage, and baths with soaking tubs. Common areas were modernized in recent years and the building provides day-to-day conveniences: a live-in superintendent, central laundry room, bike storage, rentable private storage, and a gated parking lot available by waitlist and fee. Security and package handling have been upgraded with a new intercom and package drop system. The co-op’s pet policy is restrictive (management permits one cat only), and subletting is allowed after owner-occupancy with board approval. Located one to two blocks from Cortelyou Road shops and restaurants and a short walk to Prospect Park, the block offers easy access to multiple subway lines (Q, B, F, G) and bus routes, plus nearby greenways and neighborhood services that support an active, park-oriented Brooklyn lifestyle.
