147 Bayard Street

Reimagine Greenpoint townhouse living. Welcome to 147 Bayard Street, a fully redesigned Greenpoint single-family townhouse moments from McCarren Park. Carefully curated over three floors, with access to outdoor space from each level, this is a home both for entertaining and for creating your own private enclave in the city. The result of a complete renovation, 147 Bayard was built with no detail overlooked, creating a generous, flexible space to call home. Loft-like and open, and with floors of Vienna White Oak, the first level stretches from the entry foyer through the dining room, the extended kitchen, and the living room, all the way to the rear garden and patio. The oversized kitchen island was built to flow with the home’s layout, elegantly connecting the living and dining rooms. The kitchen counter and backsplash are made of Dekton, which is both easy to clean and highly resistant to stains, scratches, and abrasions; the transparent staining on the wood complements these surfaces. With a range, refrigerator, and dishwasher from the Bertazzoni professional series, a microwave drawer by Bosch, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets providing ample storage space, the kitchen is built to perform at the highest level. An elegant powder room with pocket door makes the floor ideal for hosting guests without having to access the bedroom areas. Through the living room at the rear of the house, oversized windows gaze over the patio and garden and allow sumptuous northwestern light into the first floor, accentuating the loft-like feel of the space. The garden itself - the first of four outdoor spaces in the house - is almost 40’ deep, and has a multi-functional finished shed. The stairs to the second floor have a slatted rail design that creates continuity between the floors and creates distinct light patterns as the dual exposures pour light in throughout the day. The second floor has two bedrooms with a shared en suite bathroom, a home office, and two terraces, one on each end of the house off of each bedroom. While built as two bedrooms, the floor smoothly flows from one end to the other, and the rooms can easily be converted to other purposes, like a playroom, TV room, or a home gym. The second floor also has a laundry room with an LG washer/dryer and a sink. The third floor is the primary suite, a self-contained private oasis. With natural light coming from nine windows and two skylights, plus 14’ ceilings and access to both roof decks, it’s a sanctuary in the city. An enormous dressing room, currently set up as a home office, and a walk-in-closet with a pocket door, allow room for the most expansive wardrobe, and the five-fixture bathroom is as functional as it is luxurious with a separate water closet, stall shower, and freestanding tub. In reimagining 147 Bayard, the designer appointed the home with top-quality materials and systems to fully modernize the space for comfort and efficiency. Black Absolute granite is used for the front entryway and rear patio. Frost-free hose bibs are also at both the front and the rear and a Honeywell system has been installed to purify fresh air intake. All lighting in the house is LED and dimmable, and heating and cooling are high-efficiency split Mitsubishi systems, both gas and electric. All the perimeter walls are insulated with spray foam, and the floor and ceilings are insulated with batt insulation. 147 Bayard Street enjoys immediate proximity to sprawling green space at McCarren Park, close proximity to both the L and G trains, plus access to the many wonderful experiences and amenities of both Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
