Rare top-to-bottom renovated single-family jewel in Greenpoint’s coveted historic landmark district, blending prewar charm with the modern luxuries the discerning New York buyer seeks. This meticulously restored and reimagined home is truly unique and beautiful, with 2 stories of gracious living space and a finished basement boasting an incredible 1,200 sq ft each! Its extra-long footprint is an impressive 62' deep x 20.5' wide. Adding to the appeal is a stunning private backyard that is richly-designed and landscaped, providing a serene, elegant backdrop for outdoor enjoyment. The love affair begins as you walk down enchanting Milton Street lined with trees and landmarked architecture, arriving at distinctive 115 set well back from the street. A gated planted front courtyard welcomes your arrival and provides a lovely place to sit. The main entry, which is tucked away down a walk, leads to the parlor level, while a separate lower entrance accesses the lower level. Once inside you’ll be awed by the breathtaking interiors that reflect a fine preservation of many original pre-war details, enhanced by a contemporary spin. Among these are original vestibule floor tiles, restored original wood floors, original exposed brick, wood beams & thick moldings, original staircase, railings & banister, even four original skylights, some with original stained glass. The skylights and large windows on 3 exposures invite brilliant sunlight in. High, airy ceilings enhance the voluminous feel. The expansive parlor level is a perfect backdrop for large-scale entertaining, with wide-open living, dining space & kitchen. A light-filled eastern bay window, which looks down the magical landmarked street, anchors a charming room with original exposed brick and custom sliding doors. Carefully hidden modern technology, like a Smart Home system, a projector, a drop-down screen, and built-in surround sound, add to the allure.
