Enter through a set of period and picturesque doors on Hoyt Street, once an enchanting storefront, into a wide space with high ceilings that has been perfectly divided into a dining room and kitchen area on one side, and a spacious living room on the other. Two loft spaces have been cleverly carved out of the high ceilings, one for sleeping and the other for storage. Or, if you would prefer a more traditional one-bedroom set up, the living room is easily separable with the easy addition of a wall, and the lofts can simply offer extra storage. The possibilities are endless! A brand-new kitchenette was just renovated and features a stainless fridge, Quartz countertops and backsplash, a deep undermount sink, white Shaker cabinetry, and a gas 5-burner Frigidaire range. The newly redone bathroom is a timeless classic that features the perfect combination of Calacatta Gold marble mosaics behind the sink, and classic white subway tiles in the tub/shower area. Chrome cross handle fixtures, Carrara marble-style floor tiles, a Toto toilet, and a spacious vanity cabinet with porcelain sink and mirrored medicine cabinet complete the picture.
Additional special features include oak floors, six spacious closets, two custom iron staircases leading to the loft spaces, and my personal favorite addition, two capacious window seats running along the oversized front windows. A welcoming garden in front offers privacy from the street, and an opportunity to indulge your green thumb. And if that isn't enough, don't miss the basement storage in the main building, and the opportunity to live in a well-maintained coop but your very own private entrance. This gem is a one-of-kind find just one block to Smith Street and Atlantic Avenues, with every subway line (F/G/A/C/2/3/4/5) and amenity at your doorstep, including fine dining at Rucola and French Louie, Trader Joe's, Sahadi's, Chelsea Piers, Bien Cuit, Los Paisanos, to name just a few of the nearby gems. And don't miss the low monthlies too! A true original and pet-friendly too. And if you need to commute to Manhattan, it is just a subway stop away. This home truly represents the best of all worlds. Washer/Dryers are also allowed to be installed and there are many closets that would easily accommodate its addition.
Quick Profile
Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill.
Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.
The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
