Property Description for 141 Calyer Street

141 Calyer Street - A Rarely Offered, Fully Restored Historic Townhouse in the Heart of Greenpoint

Step into a one-of-a-kind designer restoration where timeless prewar elegance meets thoughtful modern living. Built in 1899, this grand three-family townhouse spans over 3,000 square feet and is a masterclass in preservation and artistry. Currently configured as a 4-bedroom, 2-full and 2-half bathroom owner's triplex above a charming 1-bedroom rental, 141 Calyer is truly a gem in the heart of Greenpoint.

From the moment you enter through the rounded French doors, you'll be greeted by an abundance of original architectural details: wide plank wood floors, intricate wall moldings, soaring ceilings with intact medallions, and beautiful decorative fireplaces on each level, each detail lovingly revived by the current owners to honor the home's rich past.

The formal living room flows into a stunning, windowed dining room adorned with antique Victorian artwork and separated by original wood and glass pocket doors. A custom Grohe water system provides chilled still and sparkling water on demand, an elegant and rare touch. The renovated kitchen features marble countertops, green tile backsplash, a walk-in pantry, and opens directly to a deck leading down to a lush, landscaped garden reminiscent of the English countryside. A discreet powder room tucked beneath the stairs adds convenience for entertaining.

On the second level, enjoy a luxurious suite-like setup with your choice of a front-facing bedroom with a walk-in closet and decorative fireplace, or a serene primary bedroom overlooking the garden. This floor is complete with a wall of custom built-in closets, a washer/dryer, and a spa-like windowed bathroom featuring a rare copper and wood soaking tub for the ultimate relaxation.

The top floor offers two more bedrooms, a powder room, and a versatile bonus space currently used as an office and closet. The rear room includes built-in storage, the original farm sink, and vintage tiling, making it a fully functional studio, creative workspace, or potential fourth bedroom.

In addition to all of this, 141 Calyer includes a full length, dry cellar floor below the garden apartment, a rare and luxurious commodity in the Greenpoint neighborhood. This allows for a huge amount of storage accessible from both the triplex and the garden apartment, as well as the ability to corral all of the utilities (boiler, electrical meters and panels, water) away from the living spaces of the home.

The charm doesn't stop inside, 141 Calyer's curb appeal is just as special. The original wood plank siding and window trim have been beautifully restored and freshly painted, giving this home a storybook facade that stands out on one of Greenpoint's most sought-after blocks.

Perfectly positioned near all the shops, restaurants, and culture that define this beloved Brooklyn neighborhood, 141 Calyer is a rare opportunity to own a lovingly restored piece of New York history with unmatched character and soul.

This is more than a home, this is a legacy.

Greenpoint | Brooklyn

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.
