A wrought-iron gate reveals the famed pink house — a home unlike any other in the city — beginning with its 57-foot-deep front garden oasis filled with lush foliage, a meandering path and a charming pergola with benches. Once you arrive here, all signs of hectic city life fall away, replaced by the sounds of singing birds and gentle breezes perfumed by flowers. A large patio area welcomes al fresco dining alongside a gas grill, while storage sheds neatly stow gardening equipment and outdoor furniture in this south-facing sanctuary.
A classic front porch invites you inside the delightful 2,520-square-foot, rose-colored house, where nearly every room looks out to treetops and greenery. The expansive, flexible layout stretches to 25 feet wide with tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and large windows on all four exposures, creating an exceptionally bright and airy ambiance throughout. The gracious foyer opens to the stately staircase and a large living room overlooking the park-like grounds. Ahead, a separate sunroom allows all-season enjoyment of the surrounding gardens, while the oversized dining room accommodates even the largest dinner parties alongside leafy views. In the windowed kitchen, long rows of wood cabinetry surround full-size appliances. A bedroom and full bathroom complete the parlor floor.
Above, discover a sprawling primary bedroom with sunny garden views and a walk-in closet. Across the stairway landing, a south-facing balcony is perfect for enjoying morning coffee and watching birds flit from tree to tree. The spacious family room on this level is flanked by two more bedrooms and another full bathroom.
This legal three-family residence also includes a full-height, walkout basement with tall, beamed ceilings, double exposures and a private entrance, making it ideal for a potential rental unit. Here, you'll find a large rec room lined with built-in cabinetry and shelving, a sink area and a full bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. Outside, a charming walled patio provides even more desirable outdoor space. An expansive storage room and laundry room accessible from the interior stairwell add wonderful convenience to this one-of-a-kind Greenpoint favorite.
This outstanding location at the border of Greenpoint and Williamsburg is at the epicenter of Brooklyn's best amenities and attractions. Just over a block away, beloved McCarren Park offers a pool, track, tennis, a greenmarket and more, while revitalized waterfront parks deliver extraordinary outdoor space and recreation alongside iconic city views. Explore fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife venues along Manhattan and Franklin avenues, or visit one of the chic local hotels, including the William Vale and Wythe Hotel. If live music is your passion, Warsaw, Brooklyn Bowl and the Williamsburg Hall of Music are all nearby. The G train is just 300 feet from your door, and the L train, excellent bus service, two ferry terminals and CitiBikes are within easy reach, providing easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.
