Description

This is the Greenpoint home that you have been waiting for a rare gem built 21' x 62' that has been renovated from top to bottom on a landmarked block between Manhattan and Franklin avenues. This impressive turn-of-the century home with a welcoming and rustic aesthetic offers three loft-like floors that have been built extra deep, allowing for wonderful light-filled spaces, including side windows, and less stairs than a typical townhouse. Move right in to a mint condition home, no work required, on a bucolic block, with easy access to greenspaces including Transmitter Park, and endless amenities in every direction. Designed to perfection, this warm and spacious townhouse offers the best of the old and the new worlds. Exposed timber beams, burnished steel columns, original plaster lincrusta, and preserved Arts and Crafts woodwork details throughout blend harmoniously with a renovated chef's kitchen, central heating and cooling, new windows, and modern light fixtures.

The perfect layout awaits behind a handsome brick fa ade with generous bay windows on the upper two floors. Enter through a front patio large enough to store your bikes and motorcycles, or just garden to your heart's content. An easy step-up takes you into the middle of a generous triple parlor with soaring ceilings. Live large with your living room facing front over the picturesque block; a formal dining room in the center; and a sizable chef's kitchen in back with a built-in breakfast table and banquette for everyday dining overlooking a private deck and garden complete with irrigation. There is also a walk-in pantry on this floor, plus a discrete powder room for guests. Custom black ebonized wood cabinetry lives in tandem with open display shelving, an aged-brick backsplash, farm sink, butcher block countertops, and a prep island that seats six people. A suite of professional appliances includes a French door fridge, Bosch microwave drawer and DW, double wine cooler, and the piece de resistance, a Bosch induction cooktop that is accompanied by three GAS burners, in addition to an industrial venting hood. Enjoy a formal dining room, or the casual everyday pleasure of the built-in banquette. No home on the market offers such grand living proportions on one floor.

Head upstairs to an equally large floorplate with infinite possibilities. Currently configured as 4 bedrooms with an oversized laundry room that includes a new LG ThinkQ Washer and Dryer. Use as-is, or make some simple modifications and enjoy a large primary suite. The one renovated bathroom on this floor could easily be expanded into a second windowed bathroom by taking over the laundry room and utilizing the existing waste line already in place for the laundry. This is an easy alteration, and with an additional 1.5 baths in the house, can even be done while you live there. You will be impressed with the leafy-green views visible through every room on this floor. And let's not forget the coziness of well-preserved historic details, and guaranteed quiet for sleeping whether you are in the front, or the back of the house. This one-way street is a light-sleeper's dream!

Head downstairs to a windowed lower level that enjoys its own entrance while also being connected to the upper floors. The separate entrance allows you to rent the space as an Air B and B for extra income, or better yet, use it as-is as a home gym, a comfortable guest area with a full bath, and a home office. Given the unique depth of this house, the back of this floor has been dedicated to the mechanicals and a dry and tidy storage area with garden access. Keep your gardening tools here where they can be easily transported outside, in addition to your luggage and Costco runs. The house also includes a new hot water heater and newly installed hard-wired internet equipment for steady internet and WiFi. Nearby amenities include the Ferry, the G train at Greenpoint Ave., and Michelin-rated restaurants Ilis, House, Oxomoco and Restaurant Yuu. Listing courtesy of Corcoran Group ...
