175 Columbia Heights, GARDEN

Primped and primed, this garden apartment in a 25ft wide brownstone could not be more move-in friendly or better located. This two bedroom, two bathroom home with central air conditioning has all the appeal and the right amount of convenience one could ask for, beginning with its top-of-the-line kitchen. The island counter with breakfast bar has a beautiful Shaws Original apron sink, Calcutta gold marble countertops and all the storage needed in an efficient kitchen. Cooking is an absolute pleasure with appliances such as a 4-burner Viking range (venting to the outside), large GE Monogram refrigerator, GE Advantium microwave convection oven, a hidden dishwasher and even a separate plate warmer. The kitchen is open to the living room, which has built-in bookshelves, two quaint benched windows with pocket shutters, and complete with a built-in Bose sound system. The hallway to the bedrooms is lined with ample custom closet space, a washer/dryer and a full guest bathroom. There is a perfectly sized, windowed, 2nd bedroom which opens into the master bedroom through pocket doors. A luxurious en-suite master bathroom has exposed brick and a steam shower, also wired with Bose speakers. The master bedroom has an oversized window with views onto your own huge (1000+ square feet) private garden. Lined with beautifully aged brick and stone walls with two huge old trees creating an ultra high canopy, this garden makes a very special tranquil retreat. Multiple irrigated garden beds to do all the gardening you want (or don't want) without the hassle of maintaining a full growth backyard. There is even a large heat lantern to warm you in the cooler months.

Just beyond the enchanting streets of Brooklyn Heights and all of the wonderful restaurants, markets, and shops in the area, a major gem of the neighborhood is the Brooklyn Bridge Park - 1.3 miles of sustainably designed, recreational waterfront just minutes away from your door. With ample green space to lounge while people watching, hidden paths to wander through, and all the courts and sports fields you can imagine. A turn-key home on one of Brooklyn's most desirable and exclusive streets, 175 Columbia Heights is perfection in the perfect location.
