From the moment you approach the hunter green brick facade and sleek black cornice, you'll know this is a special property. A brand-new stoop and a dramatic black entry door framed by new black windows create an unforgettable entrance. Step into a charming arched vestibule and prepare to be wowed by a thoughtful blend of modern design and restored period details.
The owner's residence is a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath duplex with a fully finished basement. The parlor level welcomes you with an open-concept living and dining space, anchored by a stunning wood mantel fireplace and original pier mirror. A coat closet and elegant powder room offer convenience, while the chef's kitchen is a showstopper - custom cabinetry, a dramatic waterfall-edge island, stainless steel appliances, and a panel-ready refrigerator.
From here, step out onto a massive steel deck overlooking a huge backyard - perfect for outdoor entertaining or serene city escapes.
Upstairs, the primary suite boasts wall-to-wall closets, a beautifully designed ensuite bath, and a bay window with treetop views. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a stackable washer/dryer complete this level. Two solar-powered skylights flood the space with natural light.
The finished basement - with a half bath and interior access - offers ultimate flexibility as a home office, gym, media room, or play space. It can also be combined with the rental unit to create a larger garden apartment.
The lower-level one-bedroom apartment has been renovated to the same high standard as the owner's unit. It offers a spacious living area, modern kitchen, ample closet space, full bath, and in-unit washer/dryer - ideal for generating income or hosting guests.
This townhouse is essentially brand-new construction behind a classic facade. Everything - from the roof, electric, and plumbing to every wall and floor - has been replaced with quality craftsmanship. Designed by the acclaimed team at My Beautiful Home Designs, every inch has been carefully planned for beauty, comfort, and function.
Quick Profile
Originally known as Crown Hill by the Lenape Indians that lived there, Crown Heights has evolved into a diverse neighborhood, occupied primarily by Hasidic Jews and one of the largest Caribbean populations to be found anywhere outside of the West Indies.
Head over to Nostrand Avenue, one of the main West Indian commercial areas in the neighborhood, which is lined with stores that have been in those exact same places for generations, providing their goods and services to area residents. Kingston Avenue has similar commercial activities that support the Jewish community, and Franklin Avenue shows the most signs of change and gentrification, with an ever-expanding mix of yoga studios, coffee shops, and organic grocery stores that serve the influx of young professionals. No matter which of these areas you visit, you will find an interesting mix of businesses that you wouldn’t normally picture as existing side-by-side. It is all part of the cultural diversity of Crown Heights.
The neighborhood is bisected, from east to west, by Eastern Parkway, which is a beautiful, 3-mile-long boulevard lined with mature trees. This leafy oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of Central Park, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D. C.
You will find a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, large middle-class elevator buildings, brownstones, and some luxury buildings. Century-old architecture stands next to modern residential developments in a visually interesting mix of styles, much as the diversity of the residents exists. People who would not normally meet and mix are forging new pathways to cultural understanding by working, living, and playing together in the same neighborhood.
