Description
This meticulously restored two-family house, built in the 1890s and boasting a classic 19-foot wide Brownstone facade, sits on a tree lined street in a prime Bushwick location. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by an array of architectural elements including built-ins, crown mouldings, decorative mouldings, and high ceilings, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Hardwood floors grace the interior, while a decorative fireplace adds a touch of warmth and character. The home features northeastern and southern exposures, allowing for beautiful natural light throughout the day. The spacious home offers three floors plus a full unfinished basement, perfect for flexible living arrangements. Currently configured as a garden apartment with a duplex above, the layout cleverly allows for easy conversion into a single-family home with a continuous interior staircase. For multi-family use, separate entrances ensure privacy for both units. The modern kitchen boasts granite countertops, custom cabinets, deep sinks, stainless steel appliances including a silent dishwasher, gas range, double door fridge and ample space for culinary creations. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet for added convenience and easily fits a king sized bed with nightstands. The primary en-suite bathroom features a custom soapstone and brass vanity, an antique cast iron soaking tub and soapstone floor tiles. There are 3 other bedrooms and an additional bathroom on the 3rd floor which features an extra-long and extra-deep Duravit soaking tub.
A complete renovation between 2009 and 2012 ensures modern comfort while preserving the home's original character and charm. From brand new kitchens and bathrooms to updated plumbing and electrics, adding a whole house water filtration system, the house combines modern functionality with beautifully restored details. Inclusive in this renovation, critical steps were taken to retain many original details such as decorative woodwork, slate fireplaces, antique pine floors, shutters, doors, and railings - all meticulously restored. A vented waster and dryer system completes the home. The back yard is landscaped with a bluestone patio and a garden with open skies and full sun.
