Description
The renovated kitchen includes high-end appliances and radiant heat floors,...Welcome to 285 Empire Blvd, a charming single-family townhouse on the border between Crown Heights and Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. This exquisite property spans 1,466 square feet (not including the finished basement) and offers a thoughtful layout with two spacious bedrooms, a third room perfect for a home office, two elegantly renovated bathrooms, and a total of seven rooms, ideal for contemporary living and entertaining.
The renovated kitchen includes high-end appliances and radiant heat floors, and leads to a formal dining room with a door to your private backyard. The sunny, south-facing living room features bay windows to let in the springtime sunshine. There's a half bath on this level, finished with designer ceramic tiles.
Upstairs you'll find two big bedrooms separated by a home office, as well as a full bath, also with radiant heat flooring.
The finished English basement makes an ideal recreation space, home office, or guest suite (or all three - it's certainly big enough!). There's a full bath on this level, along with a kitchenette.
You're so close to all of Central Brooklyn's greatest attractions, including the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, and, of course, Prospect Park, with easy access to the 2/5 and B/Q/S trains. Notable nearby restaurants like Agi's Counter, The Bobbed Bandit, Trove, and Camillo ensure you'll never want for places for weekend brunch or a night out - or how about an Italian breakfast or aperitivo at Bomberino?
Whether you're seeking a cozy retreat or a vibrant living space, 285 Empire Blvd offers the ideal setting. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this beautiful townhouse your new home.
