Updated mechanically and aesthetically just a few years ago, enjoy the best of both the old and the new; renovated kitchens and baths, an extraordinary lighting suite, updated split AC systems and a hot water European heating system, all living in harmony with the warmth of wide-plank floors, soaring ceiling heights, exposed brick, elegant sweeping hand-carved staircase, and shiplap paneling. Delivered fully furnished as per the listing photos! Enter through a garden into a vestibule, perfect for strollers and coats, and head up a graceful center staircase into the main living floor complete with a sunny South-facing chef's kitchen in back and living room in front. The center staircase expands the scale of this 17' wide house giving both front and back rooms the same width as a 20' house with no wasted hallway space. The middle of this floor accommodates a full bath and laundry area plus a fantastic mudroom and pantry, all customized to perfection. Entertain in style in a large kitchen that accommodates an oversized farmer table and banquette, a butcher-block island perfect for prep, and a country-style kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, aged-bronze hardware, porcelain farm sink, and practical yet stylish leather-finished quartz countertops. A suite of appliances include a Bertazzoni gas range and Miele DW. Flow easily into the garden through a glass door, or head into the stylish living room complete with warm white-washed exposed brick and a cinematic lighting suite to match your mood. This dramatic custom lighting is employed throughout the home and includes Edison bulbs, hand-blown glass pendants and sconces, all in concert with dimmer switches, ensuring the perfect illumination at every turn. The next level up includes two spacious bedrooms, a walk-in closet customized to perfection, and a Jack and Jill bathroom with double sinks. The enchanting top floor feels like a treehouse with two more spacious bedrooms, multiple skylights and closets, and a home-office with built-in desk. Enjoy radiant-heated floors and marble mosaic tiles in the Primary bathroom, and a nod to the natural world in the top floor bath with its pebble tiled walls and oversized earth-toned floor tiles. The lower duplex is unique in scale, style, and projected rental income. Designed with a distinctly English cottage vibe, you enter on the garden level into a hallway past a bathroom imagined with Carrara mosaic tile, aged brass fixtures and double vanity. The bedroom on this level has a door to the garden where meandering paths of aged brick and lovely plantings frame your everyday view. Head upstairs to a sunny and loft-like kitchen complete with shiplap cabinetry, Moroccan-tiled backsplash, and a generous living and dining area with garden views and access. A bedroom in the front is spacious and set back from the street for privacy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true icon of Brooklyn style...warm and homey, spacious and convenient, with green space galore and room to grow.
