288 Leonard Street

Extremely rare, mint two family home in Williamsburg. Everything about this home has been reimagined from the elegant living space to the standout facade of "architect grade" cedar. The home is three stories and consists of a three bedroom "owners" duplex with a private backyard and a two bedroom investment apartment or in-law suite with an expansive roof deck. On the main level, you walk into an open floor layout with one bedroom, living/dining, and the open kitchen. There is hardwood floors throughout and, just as impressively, ceilings with reclaimed wood beams. The windowed kitchen is appointed with custom cabinets from Leicht; Bosch cooktop, oven, microwave, and dishwasher; Marvel stainless steel refrigerator; and a true venting hood. This airy and open space flows naturally to the dining and living rooms. Right off the dining room is the backyard with a separate patio area for grilling. Massive windows open to a full 90 degrees letting in light and air. Downstairs, you have the second bedroom and the primary bedroom with a walk-in closet. The en suite bath features a two person deep soaking tub with rain shower, heated floors, and Duravit and DXV fixtures. One level below, there is a finished basement featuring stone walls. This space would be fantastic for a wine cellar, game room, gym, media room, playroom, or work space. There is also a washer/dryer.

The upper most level is a separate two bedroom, one bath home. The kitchen features the same appliances and fixtures of the main unit. Oversized windows in the living area let in great morning light. The floor to ceiling windows in the bedrooms give you a lot of sky and sunsets. There is a tenant in place until June 2022. This provides instant income generation. Above, there is a roof deck with two separate seating areas and glass railings. The building is zoned for R7A and the foundation has been reinforced as part of the renovation. This home is outfitted with a split-unit H/C system which offers multi zone flexibility and is very efficient and quiet. Low monthly taxes. Located just a block from the L and G trains, commuting is a breeze. Great local bakeries and butcher shops meet the ever expanding list of restaurants and bars in this historic part of Williamsburg.
