What could be better than spending the afternoon gardening in your verdant backyard, warming up in your two-level cedar sauna, and then relaxing with a cup of hot cocoa in front of your toasty fireplace? This duplex condo has been thoroughly updated and outfitted with everything you need, from wifi-controlled heat and air-conditioning to a huge laundry room complete with a built-in folding table and drying rack + Electrolux washer and dryer. Its the perfect home to move right in and begin your adventure in Greenpoint, Brooklyns hippest neighborhood. The layout is perfect with the two large bedrooms privately tucked away from the street and adjacent to the multi-level backyard creating the perfect separation of public and private spaces.

The first floor is flooded with light from the almost full wall of windows. With plenty of room for separate living and dining areas, this is a great spot to spend time together. The renovated kitchen with a custom-built Caesarstone-topped island includes a GE suite of appliances with a retro-style refrigerator alongside a top-of-the-line whisper-quiet Bosch dishwasher. The timeless subway tile backsplash finishes off the look with a Schoolhouse Electric light fixture and outlet from LeGrande. If you need more space, there is a full pantry tucked off to the side. The upstairs bathroom was recently gut renovated with spa-like white Nemo tiles and statement piece cement floor tiles from Bisazza.

The lower level holds two bedrooms, a bathroom with a sauna, laundry room and enormous walk-in closet with a window. This level was architecturally designed to maximize space and light with both bedrooms having access to the backyard. The master bathroom has a frameless glass shower fitted with a Hansgrohe shower system. The vanity and fixtures are from Renovation Hardware.

The multilevel backyard is the perfect escape from the city. The upstairs lounge area is separated from the downstairs dining space by tiered cedar clad terraces that are perfect for planting summer flowers or that vegetable garden youve always wanted. Just bring your green thumb and get started. Both the upstairs and downstairs levels feature outlets.

Located just 4 blocks from Greenpoint Avenue and in the heart of Greenpoints food scene, noted restaurants such as Glasserie, Sama Street, Esme, Anella, and of course the world-famous Paulie Gees Slice Shop are only a few of the fantastic dining options within blocks of this home. If you need to get anywhere (why would you?) the G train is conveniently located one block away at the corner of India and Manhattan Avenue and the ferry is just a few short blocks away.
