163 Wyckoff Street #1

This stylish, renovated floor-and-a-half apartment with private garden is splashed with sunlight from south-facing front windows. A true two-bedroom in an owner-occupied, 19th-century Boerum Hill brownstone, Apartment 1 features newly polished hardwood floors, a chic master bath with double sinks, and a second bath in a unique configuration that allows it to function as a separate powder room for guests. A sculptural spiral staircase leads from the floor-through garden level to the half-parlor-floor above, with its generous ceiling heights and mini-loft-like feel.

The top floor accommodates a handsome, well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher and butcher-block countertops and an open entertaining space accented by a decorative marble fireplace. The master bedroom looks onto the bright, grill-ready patio, and connects to a feature of the apartment that will be more and more appreciated the longer you live there: a spacious mud room/utility room with a soaking sink and full-sized washer and dryer. Added bonus: easy access to basement storage
