Property Details
Description
253 Hoyt Street is a 20-foot-wide three-story two-family townhome comprised of a 4-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom owner's duplex and a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom garden residence, which is currently used as an income-producing rental property. Located at the crossroads of coveted Brooklyn neighborhoods Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens and Gowanus. On the parlor level, a gracious entry foyer leads into an expansive great room, where a wood-burning fireplace anchors the room and generous dimensions allow for both a formal and casual seating area. At the southern end of this level, light streams into a windowed kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances by Wolf, GE and Bosch. Adjacent to the kitchen, a formal dining area seats many and flows outside to a Cedar deck overlooking a lush and green garden oasis -- perfectly suited for seamless indoor-to-outdoor entertaining. A powder room for guests is also located on this level. Upstairs, a four-bedroom layout presents abundant opportunity and flexibility; accommodate a home office and guest arrangements along with your primary bedrooms. Skylights in the hallway and bath stream all day sunlight and a double-height whitewashed exposed brick wall frames the space and adds warmth and charm. A laundry closet with a new Whirlpool washer/dryer set-up and ample storage space are also found here. Situated in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods, 253 Hoyt Street is a move-in ready solution for those looking for a wonderfully appointed home with the added benefits presented by an income-producing garden level rental property. Boerum Hill, Gowanus and Carroll Gardens are known for their tree-lined streets, award-winning restaurants and easy access to the best of Brooklyn.
