Originally constructed in 1905, this home is located on a beautiful treelined street on the cusp of Stuyvesant Heights. The townhouse is a 20-foot-wide, two-family brownstone with approximately 2520 square feet and features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, a large parlor deck, and a spacious backyard garden.

As you enter the owner's three-bedroom duplex, you are greeted by a larger foyer. Stepping into a 42-foot parlor, you realize the breadth of space as the 10.5-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the right, a living room area with tall windows and a wide expanse is great for entertaining finished beautifully with hardwood floors. To the left, a large dining area and stylish powder room. In the back, the windowed kitchen features a four-seat island, wine cooler, ample cabinetry, and granite countertops. The second kitchen area features stainless steel appliances and is the perfect canvas offering you the opportunity to make the space your own. Toward the back of the kitchen, a door leads out to a deck that fits a six-seat dining area and grill as well as steps leading to the garden.

Upstairs you find three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom faces soft trees in the front and features two windows and a large closet space. The primary bathroom was beautifully reimagined with new tiled floors and vanity. A smaller second bedroom sits adjacent to the primary bedroom and fits a full-sized bed. The third bedroom is the full width of the building, faces the serene backyard, and has two large closets. Off the hallway, there is a newly updated second bathroom and washer/dryer.

The private basement can be accessed through an interior staircase and is finished with textured tile floors and also has a washer/dryer. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, home office, artist studio, or included with the garden rental unit. The separate garden floor two-bedroom unit can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment.

This townhouse is located moments away from great establishments such as The Wilky, L'Antagoniste, Saraghina's, and Peaches as well as three local parks that feature playgrounds, basketball or tennis courts. Nearby public transportation includes the A/C & J trains or the Halsey B26, and JFK is a short 20min drive. Additionally, the acclaimed coop school is located one block away on the corner of Marcus Garvey and Gates.
