91 Pioneer Street

If your dream is living in the heart of Red Hook, enjoying spacious, elegant interiors and generous outdoor space, this charmer is for you! Located in the one of Brooklyn's best neighborhoods on historic Pioneer Street, the wonderful 3-story row house is a turn-of-the-century gem that's inviting and unique. While the home is a legal 2-family, it is currently utilized as a single-family but can be converted back if desired. Original heart of pine wide-plank floors, a wood-burning fireplace in the front parlor, high airy ceilings with striking exposed wood beams, and light-filled windows facing north and south enhance the ambience. Up the front steps, beyond the bright red door you'll find the parlor floor offering 2 generously-sized rooms. One makes a perfect setting for lounging and gathering around the fire; the rear parlor overlooking the lovely lush patio garden can serve as a bedroom, media room, playroom, etc. The garden level is perfect for entertaining with a large open living-dining layout, rustic-style kitchen, terracotta tile flooring, lime-covered brick walls, exposed beams, and a pot-belly stove. Other highlights are a pantry closet, sky-lit laundry/utility room, and full windowed bath with a European shower. Access is afforded to the private rear patio garden oasis brimming with greenery where you can barbecue, host guests, relax and read, or tend to your plantings. Back inside, a solid staircase brightened by a skylight and big window rises to the top story. The oversized bedroom suite with a decorative mantle can easily become 2 bedrooms or a sitting room; plus there's a small adjoining den/ office, and a partially-enclosed full bath graced by a claw-foot tub and an antique oval pedestal sink. A high-efficiency heating system with Bosch boiler saves on costs and emissions. There's also a green roof that helps keep the climate cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This special residence offers so many possibilities, and is in a community you'll love calling home. Right nearby are the shops and restaurants along Van Brunt Street, Food Bazaar and Valentino Pier showcasing amazing Statue of Liberty views.
