65 Jackson Street

Welcome home to 65 Jackson St, a truly one of a kind two family townhouse offering an oasis of tranquility right in the vibrant neighborhood of Williamsburg. You can literally hear a pin drop as the neighboring building blocks off the BQE, so do not be fooled by the location on the map - come visit and hear for yourself! The perfect blend of luxury and comfort, this expansive semi-detached townhouse offers 4,059 (above grade) square feet and was meticulously reimagined and rebuilt in 2016, expanding the footprint and including an additional 3rd floor, with modern structural materials, all new mechanical systems–boilers, water heaters, plumbing, electrical, radiant underfloor heating, central AC cooling system, and a roof complete with self irrigating garden beds and a 900+ sf roof deck. The whole house features water filtration, with the owners kitchen and primary bath having a five-stage reverse osmosis drinking water system. Enter apt 1, the owners 2,668 sf lower duplex (+ garden with covered patio and 1,250 sf of finished and semi-finished basement) boasts three sleeping areas with room to add another bedroom on the 2nd floor, 3.5 baths (including 2 toto toilets) and a one of a kind motorized retractable skylight that creates a cooling breeze tunnel in the Summer. The huge skylight lets in abundant light, so you can enjoy sunlight throughout the home. Top of the line engineered white oak floors finished with Danish oil and engineered walnut finished with tung oil throughout the home create a warm and inviting feel while optimizing heat transmission from the radiant floor heating system. The open kitchen is a chef's dream, with a vented 6 burner range, large kitchen island, 2 dishwashers, 2 ovens with warming trays, 2 sinks and island seating. You'll be cooking up a storm while having room to entertain. The dining area (elevated to create another unique feature of the home) comfortably seats 12, with more seating room in the expansive living room. The made-in-Brooklyn Icestone countertops and bamboo butcher block island provide beauty and function using sustainable materials. The custom open shelving was created from joists salvaged from the original house, blending the history of the home with a modern lifestyle. The expansive living room with its ~11’ ceiling has hosted several intimate live music concerts, and can be a place for movie nights with a wall perfect for large projections. Alternatively, create a more intimate environment with multiple seating areas. Floor to ceiling glass doors and transoms look out onto the beautiful backyard, and the transoms above the doors can be opened separately for constant airflow in the warm months. Let's not forget the experience that's to be had in the nearly 1,000 sf backyard: the cherry blossom trees and saucer magnolia put on an explosion of beauty in the Spring, while the 2 Japanese maples and fuyu persimmon tree make the backyard magical well into early Winter as the leaves turn and the persimmons ripen. Before stepping down into the backyard, there is also a covered patio for you to enjoy outdoor dining or morning coffee while being shielded from the elements. Each bedroom offers ample space and storage, the primary inclusive of a custom walk-in closet with a luxurious ensuite bathroom, complete with a separate waterfall shower, soaking tub large enough for 2 people, double vanity and a window overlooking the garden for a spa-like experience. The open 2nd floor landing gives you the possibility for endless types of spaces: office, meditation/yoga area (with a salvaged original beam to mount aerial yoga silks, gymnastic rings, etc.!), create a guest area and more. There is also a laundry area with washer, dryer and shelves. Enter apt 2, currently set up with an income producing ~1,400 sf 2 bed 2 bath rental (with in unit washer, dryer and vented range), on the top floor with access to the incredible roof deck! Or easily include the top floor as an extension of the main apartment if you wanted to use it as a single family home, connected through the doorway on the 2nd floor. Some other features not to miss: Semi-finished basement offers the workshop of your dreams. Finished portion of the basement with radiant heat floors, full bath and rockwool sound proofing offers a great guest or media area, a secure covered alley on the side of the home with parcel delivery hatch, bike/scooter parking and an area to keep your trash receptacles tucked away, as well as an engineered system to access the highest parts of the skylight well.
