Description

Located in the dynamic Gowanus neighborhood, this extraordinary two-family brick home exudes contemporary elegance. 171 13th Street has undergone a breathtaking renovation, unveiling a spacious and modern living area meticulously crafted to meet your every requirement. With seamless integration of living spaces, this home includes a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom owner duplex over a one-bedroom duplex rental with dedicated recreational room/flex space. Due to the completely separate entrance, the setup allows for one to comfortably enjoy their home while collecting additional rental income. Upon entering the parlor level, you'll instantly sense the welcoming atmosphere of this bright, open-concept home. The oak floors in a herringbone pattern paired with recessed lighting enhance the elegance of the expansive layout, which easily accommodates two distinct seating areas, a large dining area and a spacious kitchen with center island. The open kitchen, complete with double casement windows facing the backyard, is the true heart of the home. It comes equipped with a stainless steel double-door Fulgor Milano fridge featuring a pull-out freezer drawer, a vented six-burner Fulgor Milano gas range and oven, a Bosch dishwasher, and an integrated wine fridge. The countertops and matching backsplash are crafted from Caesarstone. The design also includes timeless white cabinetry, an oversized island with overhang for stool seating, and a waterfall edge in matching Caesarstone. Exit through the back door and you’ll step onto a large deck with enough room for seating for four or more, a BBQ and plantings. From here, take the stairs down to the recently revamped, oversized backyard where you’ll find an outdoor oasis featuring mature plantings, an ipe fence for privacy, and custom flower beds - a perfect spot for al fresco dining, gardening, or simply relaxing in the fresh air. The primary bedroom is a serene haven, featuring an en-suite bathroom for enhanced privacy and convenience. Additionally, there are two more bedrooms, providing plenty of space for family, guests, or a home office. Natural light floods the interior of this stunning townhouse, courtesy of beautiful skylights in the hallway and middle bedroom. The home also includes zoned split heating and cooling, ensuring year-round comfort, and a convenient half bath located on the parlor level. The lower level rental duplex is similar in feel with its open-concept living/dining areas, hardwood oak floors, stainless steel appliances, a spacious layout and zoned heating and cooling through a dedicated split system. Here you’ll find a large bedroom on the upper level in the rear of the house, as well as a full bathroom, plus a half bath below, along with a washer/dryer and flexible rec space that works well as a home gym, office, second sleeping area or den. Thanks to the large skylight in the front of the house, this area enjoys natural light streaming in from the street. Situated in Gowanus, this house benefits from its prime location. The neighborhood is renowned for its artistic charm, with many art galleries, studios, and creative spaces just steps away. Indulge in the vibrant artistic scene and immerse yourself in the local culture. Gowanus also boasts trendy cafes, such as Casita, Buttermilk Bakeshop, By Clio, Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Table 87, and acclaimed restaurants such as Olivier Bistro and Alma Negra, along with boutique shops, ensuring that you'll always have something new to discover. Transportation is a breeze, with the F, G, and R subway lines just three blocks away. You'll have easy access to other parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan, making commuting and exploring the city a seamless experience. Images of the rental unit have been virtually staged.
