Property Description for 242 Leonard Street

New to Market! Newly Renovated 2-Family Townhouse in the Heart of Williamsburg! Welcome to 242 Leonard St, where every detail has been carefully planned out... Walk inside this incredible home and you'll find a massive open floor plan, a common theme you'll find throughout. Located on one of the bigger lots you'll find in the neighborhood, everything is massive here. The open sun-lit kitchen gets a beautiful view of the yard and allows for plenty of seating space, while the proper dining room right off the kitchen gives you even more options and room to entertain. Next you'll find the open living area that’s drenched with afternoon sun from the building’s western exposure, a walk in laundry room/pantry with plenty of extra storage, plus a half bath and extra storage closets throughout the floor. Head back to the yard where you’ll find the largest lot on the block. This huge open space features an open concrete area with soil trim for all your planting desires, while leaving the yard neat and easy to maintain. Currently set up with two storage sheds and a natural privacy fence, this is the type of outdoor space you’ve been looking. Head back inside and upstairs to the second floor of the duplex and you’ll be greeted by another living room/siting room and custom built bathroom complete with powder room. This floor also boasts two strikingly large bedrooms, ones you almost have to see to believe. Both comfortably fit king size beds plus other large piece of furniture, while the master bedroom has an enormous walk-in-closet that spans the entire length of the room. Both bedrooms feature nearly wall-to-wall windows with plenty of closet space and floor space for dressers, desks or any other large furniture pieces. On the top floor you’ll find the second unit of this two family house, which has it’s own private entrance from the building’s stoop. With the same footprint as the second floor, the sun-drenched bedrooms and living space are absolutely enormous and allow for plenty of layout options, while also gaining an extra home office/walk-in-closet thanks to being on the top floor. Sitting on a 20x100 lot with a max FAR of 2, the house is currently built to 0.84 leaving you plenty of room and options available if you happen to need even more space. This beautiful property is a rare find that will not last.

East Williamsburg | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

East Williamsburg is a mixed industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn, with many working factories that make everything from beer and wontons to clothing and concrete. You are likely to hear screeching, pounding and the deep thump of industrial machinery throughout the day. East Williamsburg has become a haven for artists and musicians of every description, who are attracted to the large open loft spaces of the converted industrial buildings. The area has attracted a younger crowd of 20- and 30-somethings that are drawn by affordable rents and a generally lower cost of living.

There is a rich history of immigrants from Puerto Rico and Italy, and oddly enough, they chose to settle on opposite ends of Graham Avenue, with the Italians on the north and the Puerto Ricans on the south.

Housing in the area consists of mid-rise apartment buildings, row houses, and public housing complexes. There are also smaller multi-family apartment buildings available. Lofts are becoming more prevalent as the older, abandoned factory buildings come up for sale and are converted into residential properties. 

East Williamsburgfairly pulses with a creative vibe. There are unique shopping venues, numerous tiny coffee shops, interesting restaurants, and cafes, along with food trucks that frequent the area. The grocery stores are affordable and carry a wide variety of goods that appeal to the eclectic tastes of the neighborhood residents.

There is a vibrant bar scene, where you will find mostly local residents imbibing, so it is easy to make friends among your neighbors if you stop in frequently at your favorite watering hole. There are many interesting shops, bars and restaurants tucked in amongst the warehouses and factories. Many do not invest in elaborate signage, so it can be difficult to find some of the best spots. Keep an eye out for hand-painted signs on the sides of buildings with arrows pointing to nondescript, nearly invisible entrances.
