About This Home

Experience bright, renovated condo living in the heart of Midwood at 1494 Ocean Avenue, Unit 2K. Set just one flight up within Midwood Hall Condominium, this beautifully appointed two-bedroom, one-bath residence offers a functional layout, great natural light, and a seamless blend of pre-war character with modern updates. A gracious gallery hallway leads into the spacious open living and dining area, creating the ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The renovated open kitchen is thoughtfully designed with crisp white cabinetry, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous island, making it a true focal point of the home. With sunny Eastern and Southern exposures, high ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, and plentiful windows, the residence feels bright, airy, and inviting from the moment you enter. The two bedrooms are positioned on opposite sides of the apartment, offering excellent privacy and flexibility. The primary bedroom is well-proportioned with great closet space, while the back-facing second bedroom is perfect as an in-home office for those who work from home, a children’s room, nursery, guest room, or study. The windowed bathroom is tastefully finished with clean marble detailing, completing the home’s crisp and move-in-ready feel. Midwood Hall Condominium is a well-maintained pre-war condo building featuring a restored lobby, common laundry room, common courtyard, and resident superintendent. Perfectly situated near the Avenue J Q train, with easy access to Ocean Avenue, Touro University, Brooklyn College, and the neighborhood’s wide array of shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this residence offers an excellent opportunity for end-users, first-time buyers, investors, co-purchasers, pied-à-terre owners, or those seeking a 1031 exchange. A rare combination of space, condition, location, and value in one of Brooklyn’s most established residential neighborhoods.
