146 Java Street

*Showings begin Sunday March 14th Welcome to 146 1/2 Java Street; your dream home on a dream block in the most highly coveted part of Greenpoint. This stunning 20' wide, five-story townhouse set up as a two-family but currently used as a single-family has been tastefully renovated while maintaining many of the original details from its construction in 1890. With four bedrooms, two large, windowed home offices and a beautifully finished basement, the distribution of space is yours to determine. The original hardwood floors have been sanded and bleached throughout to reflect a rich light-wood tone and every room features a brand-ne- HVAC system controlled per floor. Three full bathrooms round out the home's functionality. Step into the parlor floor through the main double door vestibule, and you are greeted by dramatic 11' high ceilings, a large living room, and a renovated kitchen equipped with a custom Italian ILVE stove, Fisher Paykel refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and Ruvati sink with modern gold hardware and fixtures. The kitchen provides direct access to a brand-new deck leading to an oversized garden. Walk up one flight to find a large, windowed laundry room with a side-by-side GE washer/dryer, two large bedrooms and an adjacent room that can be used in a multitude of ways. Each of these bedrooms has two large windows with open views and either a bright southern exposure or a beautiful northern tree-lined view. The top floor clears the surrounding buildings for unobstructed views from all rooms. The southern-facing spacious master bedroom provides warm, ambient light throughout the day, has an abundance of built-in shelves and drawers, and an en-suite bathroom that connects to another large bedroom currently set up as a home office. Adjacent to the office, you will find an additional room that is currently being used as a nursery and features a full wall of closets and an attached sliding ladder. A stepladder leads to the rooftop which offers 360-degree views of Manhattan and Brooklyn cityscapes- the ideal place to watch a sunset or fireworks. There is room to add a staircase on the top floor leading to the roof if you so choose. This already amenity rich townhouse has the added benefit of 700 square feet of FAR remaining to suit your future needs either on the roof or in the yard. The bottom duplex can be used as a separate rental/income property as it has its own entrance on the street level. It is bolstered by a large mudroom/entryway and features a large living room, open kitchen, full bathroom and direct access to the garden. Walk one flight down to the fully renovated rec-room. With 8' ceilings, open space and a brand new combo washer/dryer, it has a multitude of potential uses. The 20x48 south garden has been landscaped to perfection. The newly added deck offers two levels of outdoor space and the beautiful, recently installed cedar fence adds a much sought-after element of privacy. Additionally, there are five fireplaces throughout the home, one of which is wood-burning and functional while the others can be put back to use. The location, in the charming neighborhood of Greenpoint, is unbeatable. You are 1.5 blocks from the G train, 3 blocks from the ferry, and situated on a gorgeous tree-lined block in between Franklin Street and Manhattan Avenue both brimming with convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars, shops and more.
