Description

526 Leonard Street sits in the middle of a tranquil tree-lined block, close to the best of Greenpoint and Williamsburg. McCarren Park and McGolrick Park are close by, and the G train is around the corner on Nassau Avenue. With its original 19th century staircase and three stone mantles intact, this four-story, three-family townhouse is flooded with light and exudes a sense of warmth. 526 Leonard Street is fully renovated, with a lower duplex and two sunny floor through apartments above. One could easily convert the building to single-family use, or move right into one of the apartments and keep the other apartments for income. On the garden level a large eat-in kitchen leads to an extra deep and sunny backyard bordered by the lush gardens and trees of the neighboring yards.
