Description

Spanning approximately 3,551 square feet across four levels, this 20-foot-wide two-family residence has been meticulously renovated to combine timeless architectural character with elevated contemporary finishes.
The owner’s duplex offers three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two powder rooms, all curated with warm, sophisticated materials and refined detailing throughout. Sunlight pours through oversized bay windows and multiple skylights, illuminating the wide-plank white oak flooring and beautifully proportioned interiors. Central heating and cooling provide year-round comfort, while the home’s generous layout was designed to balance effortless entertaining with everyday living.
The expansive living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a stunning chef’s kitchen featuring Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, premium Bosch appliances, a six-burner range, wine refrigerator, pot filler, and a dramatic center island with seating. Full-height rear glass doors open directly onto a paved terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience ideal for dining, entertaining, or relaxing overlooking the garden below.
The upper level is anchored by a serene primary suite with oversized windows, excellent closet space, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath complete with a double vanity, soaking tub, spa-like shower, and elegant marble finishes. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, home office space, or growing households, complemented by a second full bath and a dedicated laundry area.
The finished lower level provides additional living space, perfectly suited for a recreation room, media lounge, fitness area, studio, or work-from-home setup.
Over 1,100 square feet of private outdoor space further enhances the home, offering a rare urban retreat with landscaped areas, bluestone hardscaping, and multiple spaces for entertaining or quiet enjoyment.
Completing the property is a beautifully designed two-bedroom, two-bath garden-level apartment with central HVAC, in-unit laundry, and an open-concept layout, ideal for rental income, guests, or multi-generational living.
Ideally positioned with access to the J, Z, L, and A/C subway lines, the home is surrounded by neighborhood favorites. Marion Hopkinson Playground is a fun hang for the kids. Thomas Boyland Park is close by, offering softball, handball, and basketball courts. When it’s time to eat, the neighborhood more than delivers — grab an amazing coffee at Cobbler Brooklyn Roaster, settle in for drinks at All Night Skate, or wind down with a night of comedy at Tiny Cupboard.
