This spacious and serene two-bedroom has a house-like layout and loads of prewar charm. Enter into an oversized foyer that could be a gracious formal entryway or a large home office area. From there, pass through a graceful, wide arch to an expansive living room that has recessed lighting. To the left, step up to a wonderful elevated dining area that leads to a tasteful, modern, windowed kitchen equipped with quartz countertops, an undermount sink, under-cabinet lighting and lots of counter and storage space. There is a large, convenient pantry adjacent to the dining area. The open plan living/dining concept with elevated dining lends a open, airy feeling while retaining distinct and separate areas for each.

Another pretty arch off the foyer leads to a hallway, off of which are the bedrooms and bathroom. The large primary bedroom has three windows and two exposures, and a huge walk-in closet. The location of the closet makes the addition of a second bathroom possible (with board approval). Quaint Victorian homes across the way, along with beautiful trees, provide a classic Ditmas Park view. The large and pleasant second bedroom has a deep closet, and the windowed bathroom has both a bathtub and a separate shower stall.

This home boasts so many great features: medium-brown, walnut-stained hardwood floors, prewar details such as arched entryways and a lovely arched shelved inset, crown moldings throughout, skim-coated walls, five big closets plus a deep pantry closet, and top-down/bottom-up blinds that lend both privacy and light.

An art deco co-op building, 1825 Foster Avenue is cat friendly and well maintained. Amenities include an elevator, a live-in super, an evening doorman, bike storage, a laundry room, a community room which has a play area and a small gym, and a common garden. Close to the B and Q trains and the many shops, restaurants, and cafes of Newkirk Avenue and Foster Avenue including Coffee Mob, Milk and Honey, Wattli, Westwood, and Rusty Nail. A short distance from Cortelyou Road amenities and year-round farmer's market, as well as Prospect Park.

There is temporary monthly assessment of $191.61.
