Welcome to Apartment 3K at 9902 3rd Avenue, a bright studio co-op of approximately 450 square feet on the third floor of Hamilton Gardens in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

The layout is one of the best features of this home. The front door opens into a foyer with a closet on each side, and the living room straight ahead is almost 18 feet long with windows on two walls and beautiful refinished hardwood floors. There is a separate dining area outside the kitchen with room for a dining table, so the living space stays open. A short inner hall with a third closet leads to the windowed bath, which has a tub with a shower. The galley kitchen has white shaker cabinets, a gas range and a full size refrigerator. The apartment faces north and is vacant, so it is ready for a quick move.

Maintenance is $638.20 a month and includes heat, hot water and real estate taxes. The minimum down payment is 20 percent.

Hamilton Gardens is a pet friendly postwar elevator co-op built in 1954, with 144 apartments across six stories and a live in superintendent. The lobby has a checkerboard floor, a glass front and a seating area. Residents have a card operated laundry room, a bike room and a storage room, and garage parking is available by waitlist. Cats and dogs are welcome within the building’s weight limit.

The building sits on Third Avenue in the Fort Hamilton section of Bay Ridge, with shops, restaurants and cafes right outside. The R train at 95th Street is a few blocks away, express buses to Manhattan run nearby, and the Shore Road promenade and waterfront parks are close by.
