For rent is this lovely two-story carriage house with good light, a charming garden - complete with producing fig tree - less than 300 feet from Bergen Street subway stop (2/3) in the heart of Prospect Heights just across 6th Avenue from Park Slope. Imagine sitting in your idyllic garden in the summer, with the grill going, or in the autumn light and at an open fireplace, lounging with a beverage under your fig tree. What better place to relax and retire to from the daily stress? The house features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, washer/dryer next to the downstairs bath, dishwasher in the open kitchen with a spacious island. Ceiling-high glass French doors open to the garden to make this a light-filled hang-out and ideal living space. You have to see it to believe it! Enjoy all the great restaurants and shops that Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Ft. Greene have to offer, not to mention all the amazing new places on Flatbush Avenue near Barclay's Center. The Best donuts in NYC at the Doughnut Plant are on your corner! Shake Shack down Flatbush and the best Italian, Al di La, not far away on 5th Ave. Very close to bustling Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues, yet peaceful and quiet. The LIRR and nearly every NYC subway line available a few short blocks away at the Atlantic Terminal/Barclay's Center stop. Prospect Park, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden are all just a few blocks away. And if you do have to leave the neighborhood, it is only 5 stops to Wall Street on the 2 and 3 line. This is a jewel box of a house, in the perfect spot. An entire house at this price won't last.
