Residence 1 at 2132 Bleecker Street is a thoughtfully renovated duplex that blends modern minimalism with warm, natural materials across two expansive levels totaling 1,048 square feet of interior space.
The main level features a bright living and dining area that flows seamlessly into a sleek kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and refined detailing designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Oversized windows bring in beautiful natural light, while wide plank wood floors and soft neutral finishes create a calm, intentional atmosphere. This level also includes two well proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with an en suite bath, plus an additional full bathroom for guests.
Downstairs, a full lower level opens into an exceptionally large recreation room that can function as a media lounge, studio, gym, office, playroom, or second living area. This level also includes a dedicated office space, additional storage, and an in unit washer and dryer, making the home incredibly functional for modern living.
A rare highlight is the private garage offering secure off street parking, along with a second private entrance directly into the apartment, further enhancing the townhouse feel and convenience. Housed in a newly renovated two unit condominium, the building offers exceptional privacy, low density living, and a sense of ownership that feels more like a private home than a typical condo.
Located near Ridgewood's cafés, restaurants, parks, and transit, this duplex balances neighborhood charm with modern comfort and flexible living space that is nearly impossible to find at this scale.
Quick Profile
Unique for being a symbolic and literal bridge between Brooklyn and Queens, Ridgewood incorporates both distinct elements of these boroughs into its persona. Originally considered part of Brooklyn, the neighborhood broke off with Bushwick in the 1700s at a point called, appropriately, Arbitration Rock. When the blackout of 1977 occurred, the residents of Ridgewood only further wanted to dissociate themselves from their Bushwick neighbors as the bedlam that ensued in between the looting and the riots made them feel just a tad superior.
And yet, just because its zip code changed didn’t mean Ridgewood could ever fully break free from its proximity and entwined identity with Bushwick. Pegged as the next “it” destination and hipster haven to move to circa 2016, Ridgewood has surprised many with its steady pace of growth, therefore well-maintained “neighborhood” feel.
Rife with quiet blocks filled with quaint, colorful buildings, Ridgewood offers the bodegas and local businesses one also expects of “old world” Brooklyn. An increase in the number of coffee shops, bars and DIY venues have continued its natural association with Bushwick, however, the deeper into the neighborhood you go, the more apparent it becomes that Ridgewood is very much its own very Queensian thing.
