Description

231 Albany Avenue was originally constructed in 1901. This newly renovated home offers both high-end finishes and classic details as well as modern technology. 231 Albany is a two-family townhouse that features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, a large parlor deck, as well as a private backyard for the garden unit. From American Walnut floors to thoughtfully designed molding, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home. As you enter the owner's three-bedroom duplex, you are greeted by a large parlor adorned by a beautiful arched window. You realize the breadth of space as the 10.5-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the left, a formal living room area with a wood-burning fireplace offers a great space for entertaining. In front of you a large dining area. Toward the back, your kitchen features a two-seat island, custom cabinetry, and floor to ceiling glass door looking out to the backyard. With a full complement of appliances including Viking refrigerator, Wolf six-burner stove, and in-island microwave, this kitchen is perfect for those home-cooked meals. Upstairs you find three bedrooms and two full baths. The elegant master bedroom faces the serene backyard garden and features three windows and a double closet. The master bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, a glass-enclosed rain shower with bench. As you head down the hall, you pass the complementary second bathroom adjacent to two comfortable bedrooms. The private basement has a separate entrance and is finished with textured tile floors and can easily be transformed into a home office or artist studio. The separate garden floor convertible three-bedroom unit can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment. This masterfully reimagined townhouse is located on a tree-lined block in the heart of Crown Heights. In speaking with the neighbors they all love and take pride in their block. You are moments away from great establishments such as Bakerie, MEAT, Boeuf and Bun, and Basil Pizza & Wine Bar, as well as Brower Park and the Brooklyn Children's Museum. Nearby public transportation includes the 3 & 4/5 trains, and JFK is a short 20min drive.
