Enter into the lower duplex on the garden floor and be thrilled by the open space of the custom kitchen with Brazilian slate floors, birds eye maple veneer custom cabinets and honed granite countertops. The kitchen offers a versatile layout for accommodating a separate home office or an additional seating area. A perfectly designed half bath with washer/dryer are smartly tucked away. This floor has been expanded in order to accommodate an oversized and open living room/dining room with skylight, and many built-ins. The living space with a wall of windows overlooks a wonderful Zen-inspired garden with birch, climbing hydrangea, boxwood privet and bamboo for privacy. A koi pond with waterfall adds to the tranquility. On the second floor you will find two bedrooms with a renovated Banultra massage bath, slate floor and bidet. Keep the configuration as is or, incorporate the top floor rental and create a special master suite. Or, build the house out further by adding an additional floor or, potentially add on top of the existing extension. This house was renovated in 2006 with new windows, roof, heating system, plumbing, electrical and lighting throughout. Certainly a true gem in Center Slope and certainly a smart choice over a condo or cooperative apartment. Just half a block to all the attractions along 5th Avenue and one block to the M/R/F subway stops.
