490 WARREN Street

Tucked away on a quiet, Boerum Hill block rests this elegant, Federal style brick row townhouse, currently configured as a 2.5 BD/1.5 BTH Garden/Parlor duplex with full basement and a 4BD/1.5 BTH upper duplex. A bright and sunny legal two-family, the four story house is 20 feet wide and 40 feet deep on a 100 foot lot. With units this amply sized, there's plenty of room to live comfortably in one and rent the other to greatly offset the mortgage or, with a little tweaking, transform the house into a gorgeous one family home. Classic original details such as marble mantles, working wood burning fireplace, original carved wood bannister and oak floors abound, but the piece de resistance is the secluded, spacious, south-facing Parisian style garden designed by the current owner, a noted landscape architect. To literally 'top things off,' the upper duplex enjoys a roof deck with 360 degree views that include the Freedom Tower, Manhattan skyline and Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower at 1 Hanson Place. As the only roof deck on the row, with full stairway bulkhead access, it is exceptionally private. This thoughtfully planned and well maintained home features numerous closets, and new gas boiler, roof, water and sewer lines. The best of both worlds are truly found here-an expansive home on a peaceful block with garden sanctuary, yet steps away from Boerum Hill's 'foodie-centric' Smith Street restaurants, amenities, Bergen Street F/G station and burgeoning Atlantic Avenue high end retail strip. A 6 minute walk brings you to Barclay's Center where you'll find the 2,3,4,5,N,D,Q,R,LIRR; the A, C and G at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station as well are just a few minutes away. Do not miss this rare opportunity to truly 'have it all!'
