Description

Serene, bright and charming 26? wide x 40? deep two-family house nestled on a quiet tree-lined block in East Williamsburg. This well-proportioned, versatile, three-story home measures over 3,100 interior feet and is currently configured with two separate floor-through apartments on the parlor and top floor, plus a workspace/office on the garden level. The south-facing, 35? deep, landscaped yard was recently redesigned with a retaining wall built from reclaimed original brick and bluestone slabs, and the back of the house was re-faced in wide-plank, 9? cedar siding. The sun-flooded top floor apartment features a large open kitchen with original glass cabinetry and cupboards. The windowed bath has a claw-foot tub, pedestal sink and antique lighting fixture. Additional charming add-ons include built-in shelving, a large cedar closet in the master bedroom, high ceilings and original pine floors throughout. The parlor level is currently laid out as a large open studio with a sunny kitchen, a new glass-enclosed separate stall shower and ceiling height over nine and a half feet. New structural support running the full width of the house allows for a wall of windows on the lower level facing the peaceful, manicured garden. This garden level functions well as a home office or guest suite and could easily be reconfigured into an open living / dining area feeding into the yard. (See alternate floor plan for potential conversion to an owner's lower level duplex with top floor rental.) Located a few short blocks from the Graham Ave. L train station stop on a cozy residential street, this home is perfectly situated in emerging East Williamsburg among top restaurants, shops, and more. House can be delivered vacant or with the current tenant in place.
