Description

Stately 20' wide 2-Family Brownstone featuring bay windows on all three stories, a classic L-shaped stoop, landscaped south-facing garden, sleek finished basement with full height ceilings, and newly renovated top floor rental. Located on a gorgeous tree lined street in the Sunset Park South Historic District, with easy access to N / R trains, NYC Ferry, BQE and Belt Parkway. A mix of classic and contemporary, this unique offering includes an owner's unit comprised of three floors of living space with three bedrooms, a huge rec room with laundry and storage, and three full baths; plus a lovely two bedroom rental unit on the top floor. The garden level features a spacious full-width living room with original inlaid parquet flooring, an open kitchen, and a formal dining room with tin ceilings that leads to the sunny back yard. This private outdoor oasis includes several seating areas, garden beds, and matured trees including a Japanese Maple. The parlor floor boasts 10' ceilings, original plaster medallions and moldings, three bedrooms (oversized master measures 10' x 24'), and a full bath with clawfoot tub. The 5-room floor-through apartment on the third story has its own entrance and features 9' ceilings, hardwood floors, original details, a brand new eat-in kitchen, updated bathroom, and loads of sunlight. Last but not least, the custom-designed finished basement offers full-height ceilings (just under 8' tall), gleaming white epoxy flooring, and recessed lighting throughout, creating a comfortable and cheerful sanctuary. Can be used as an awesome guest suite, play room or media room, complete with wet bar/kitchenette, bathroom and ample storage. Lower level also contains a separate laundry and storage area, and boiler room. [All mechanicals are new or newer and in excellent condition.] This one-of-a-kind townhome has been lovingly maintained and updated by its owner occupants since 2005. This is a rare opportunity to own a property of this quality with so much space plus rental income in burgeoning Sunset Park. The neighborhood offers recently designated Historic Districts, many convenient transportation options (subway, ferry, and easy access to the BQE and Belt Parkway), and its renowned namesake park with famous NYC skyline views, as well as Industry City and vibrant local communities.
