Description

Welcome to a quintessential Prospect Heights townhouse-an enchanting Brooklyn residence that combines historic charm with modern comfort. This beautifully maintained brick home offers 4-5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, soaring ceilings, a renovated kitchen, and versatile spaces tailored for any lifestyle.

Currently configured as an owner's upper duplex with a garden-level rental apartment, this three-family townhouse offers flexibility for both end-users and investors alike. The raised garden-level unit boasts an open floor plan, a modern kitchen in a cozy extension, and direct access to a deep garden with lush trees and plentiful southern sunlight. Highlights include 10' ceilings, elegant moldings, wood floors, and a bright, airy atmosphere. Updated kitchen boasts a Pitt stove and Gaggenau appliances. The laundry for this unit is conveniently located in the full basement with Miele washer and dryer, and also offers ample storage or potential for a workshop or studio space.

The owners residence, in the upper duplex, impresses with a chef's kitchen featuring Gaggenau appliances, custom walnut cabinetry, a live-edge island, and a full-size wine fridge. The open main level accommodates a spacious dining area and living room, while new double-paned windows create a peaceful ambiance. A full bathroom with laundry is located on this floor, and a sunny rear deck off the kitchen steps down to the garden, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Upstairs, the duplex continues with three well-appointed bedrooms, an additional den or sitting room, and two full bathrooms. The quiet primary bedroom faces the rear garden includes an ensuite bath and huge walk-in closet. Each floor enjoys abundant natural light from new six-over-six French-paned windows at both the front and rear. Plumbing on the top floor offers the option to convert the home back into a three-unit property, ideal for those looking to maximize rental income. Annual estate taxes are a less than $5000/year and mechanicals (including HVAC) are in excellent shape.

Situated between Vanderbilt and Carlton Avenues in the heart of Prospect Heights, this townhouse places you within reach of Brooklyn's best cultural landmarks, including BAM, the Brooklyn Museum, the Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park. Stroll to Grand Army Plaza's Farmer's Market, explore local boutiques and dining along Vanderbilt Avenue, or enjoy the nearby Barclays Center and Atlantic Mall.
