Brooklyn, home of iconic NYC spots like Coney Island and the Botanical Gardens, has become the place to be in recent years. Characterized by hip restaurants, family-friendly parks, and Instagram-worthy backdrops, the borough has tons of allure with buyers and a new listing in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood asking $3.6 million is sure to garner attention.
Sat in a row of other townhomes designed by E. H. Bishop, the 1893 townhouse has been meticulously renovated to enjoy modern conveniences while maintaining its historic touches. Whether you prefer ornate ceiling moldings, original dark woodwork, or fashionable 21st-century light fixtures, this five-bedroom home displays all that and more.
There’s a total of 4,635 square feet across five floors, but the anchoring feature is a luxurious chef’s kitchen. Adorned in deep navy cabinetry, the kitchen’s new appliances are mirrored by original parquet flooring and a contemporary chandelier. From the fruits of this cooking space, guests can dine al fresco on the private deck or in the dining room.
Carrying the deep hues upstairs, the primary en-suite is a moody retreat “inspired by Vanessa Hudgens’ bathroom” per the listing. With the show-stopping rain shower and free-standing tub, it wouldn’t be all too surprising to spend more time in the bathroom than the bedroom itself.
But, as many New Yorkers love possibilities for a side hustle, the home’s biggest opportunity is on the lower level. The garden floor serves as a separate, full-fledged apartment. Living in Brooklyn does not come cheap, so this creates an outlet for extra income while a new owner can occupy the upper three floors.
Tricia Lee and Jeffrey St Arromand of SERHANT. hold the two-family Brooklyn listing.
