Description

Originally constructed in 1876, 125 Milton Street stands as a distinguished one-unit brick townhouse within a row of four neo-Grec houses designed by the renowned Thomas C. Smith. Nestled on a coveted block in Greenpoint's Historic District, this cherished residence has been meticulously maintained by a single family for over four decades.
The front yard beckons with its sun-drenched Southern exposure, creating a haven for gardening enthusiasts. As you step into the main level through an inviting foyer, a harmonious blend of living and dining spaces awaits, complemented by a convenient full bathroom. The well-appointed, eat-in kitchen boasts ample wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a charming glass-paneled French door leading to a splendid backyard deck/garden. This thoughtful design promotes a seamless indoor/outdoor living experience, perfect for both entertaining guests and everyday comfort. The 11' ceilings on this level further enhance the overall sense of openness and airiness.
Ascending to the light-filled upper level, featuring 9'2" ceilings, you'll discover three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering a private and tranquil retreat.
The cellar, with a ceiling height of 6'11", provides a canvas for the new owner to personalize and create additional recreation space tailored to their preferences. There is an egress under the stoop and one to the rear yard. This level also houses the practical and convenient laundry room, and the building's upgraded mechanicals.
This historic townhouse not only embodies the classic charm of hardwood floors, two decorative fireplaces and high ceilings, but also presents an opportunity for modern customization. Don't miss the chance to call 125 Milton Street home-where a rich history meets the potential for a personalized future. Contact me today to schedule your private tour and experience the timeless allure of Greenpoint living. Parking space is currently under review.
