Enter into a beautifully thought-through open kitchen, living, and dining space with eastern and western sun exposure. The windowed kitchen is a chef's dream: AGA Elise appliances, newly built cabinetry and shelving, a Shaw's of England deep farmhouse sink, and Carrera marble slab counters. The dining table has a custom-built banquet, and the living room is pre-wired for surround sound.
Throughout, the flooring is reclaimed wide oak. The primary bathroom is wrapped in marble, and a brass-clad deep soaking tub is the centerpiece. 8-foot solid Walnut doors are featured throughout the rooms.
A wood-burning fireplace was removed but can be re-installed.
The 2nd bedroom has an en-suite bathroom similarly wrapped in marble, brass, and vintage tin ceiling tiles.
The dining terrace has multiple access points, offering an option to host guests outdoors without going through a bedroom.
The 3rd level has an office nook and leads to the rooftop observation deck with sweeping views of Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines.
623 Leonard St is a boutique 2-unit condominium on a classic tree-lined street, with private entrances to each apartment.
Located one block from the subway, easy access to the city is critical. Green spaces like the well-known McCarren Park, joined by the newly opened riverfront park: Bushwick Inlet Park. The foodie culture is alive and well in Greenpoint, with Oxomoco earning a Michelin star, joining neighborhood destinations like 21 Greenpoint. Retail would be amiss without mentioning icons like Beacon's Closet vintage store.
Quick Profile
Go north, not west. Greenpoint’s placement at the furthermost tip of Brooklyn makes it peak “North Brooklyn” territory. Bordered by the East River, its geographical location has long made Greenpoint integral to maritime activity, present day ferry service to Manhattan included. With Williamsburg to the south and Long Island City to the north, Greenpoint’s “hip factor” often experiences crossover traffic from these areas.
Particularly bustling on the weekend, the edge of McCarren Park at Bedford Avenue and Lorimer Street filters out into prime Greenpoint, where brunch has become a hallowed tradition for newer and longtime residents alike. Bars and restaurants such as Spritzenhaus and Five Leaves also provide close proximity to a post-dining jaunt in the park.
As the neighborhood continues to grow and develop, the old world feel of a tradition of Polish immigrants has commingled with the arrival of enterprising millennials that have become a part of the go-getting spirit of the neighborhood. Filled with small coffee shops, vintage boutiques and award-winning restaurants (as well as tailored bars like TØRST offering up specialty beers on tap), Greenpoint truly is the jewel of North Brooklyn.
