Description

Completely gut-renovated just two years ago, this gorgeous 3100-square-foot, two-family home features designer interiors, stunning outdoor space, generous storage and an ideal Greenpoint location just a block from leafy McGolrick Park. With a lovely three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom owner’s duplex and a sun-kissed two-bedroom, one-bathroom top-floor flat, this is the perfect find for an investor or homebuyer seeking additional rental income or multigenerational living space. The 60-foot-deep owner’s duplex greets you on the first floor with beautiful beamed ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, thoughtfully curated details and a 19-foot-wide, loft-like layout. The cozy living room flows to an enormous and grand open kitchen topped with soaring double-height ceilings. Here, custom cabinetry, solid countertops and an extra-wide breakfast bar surround upscale black appliances, including a vented range, dishwasher and French door refrigerator. Ahead, the dining area leads to an indoor-outdoor family room flanked by an oversized walk-in closet and a large laundry room with a side-by-side washer-dryer and shelving, underscoring the excellent storage found throughout the home. An under-stair office nook, coat closet, and a powder room with handsome penny tile, tall wainscoting and designer wallpaper complete the first floor. Off the family room, French doors open to a charming backyard oasis, featuring a covered tile patio, a lawn area and a convenient casita perfect for storage, an art studio or a fitness space. Upstairs, a dramatic mezzanine hallway leads to the primary suite, where a big sitting room could easily accommodate a nursery, media lounge or home office. Barn doors reveal an expansive king-size bedroom featuring a walk-in closet, exposed brick and direct access to a huge private deck overlooking the rear yard. The en suite primary bathroom impresses with a walk-in rain shower and custom double vanity surrounded by chic black and white tile and gold hardware. Two spacious and bright south-facing secondary bedrooms with roomy closets are joined by two hall closets and a full bathroom with a large tub/shower and wood vanity. The top floor of the building is dedicated to a sunny, cheerful apartment featuring painted wood floors and rich exposed brick. The open-plan layout includes a separate dining area, a large living room with north-facing views over the backyard, and an open kitchen featuring penny tile floors, butcher-block countertops, open shelving and stainless steel appliances. Two bedrooms, including one with a huge walk-in dressing room/bonus room, share a full bathroom. A coat closet and stacked washer-dryer add excellent convenience to the unit. Perfectly positioned where Greenpoint meets Williamsburg, this fantastic house is surrounded by the best of Brooklyn living. Less than 400 feet away, McGolrick Park boasts towering trees, European promenades, a seasonal farmer’s market, a playground and a dog run. Explore the many local stores, lounges, coffee bars, cafés, and restaurants, including Nonna’s Pizzeria, The Palace, Campbell & Co, La Sandwicherie, Variety Coffee Roasters and Met Foodmarket, or catch a show at nearby Brooklyn Steel or Warsaw. McCarren Park’s pool, tennis courts, fitness center, track and year-round greenmarket are less than a half-mile away, while nearby L and G trains, excellent bus service, CitiBikes and the BQE provide easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.
