From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
Combining townhouse character with a brand new contemporary renovation, this spacious 2BD 1BA lower duplex on a lovely tree-lined Bed-Stuy street offes ~1,700 sq ft of thoughtfully designed and expansive living space - including a flexible lower-level rec room - plus a private outdoor patio. The spacious living / dining space is sunswept and open, highlighted by oversized windows, newly installed hardwood floors, and a decorative white exposed brick fireplace. The kitchen, which has also been newly renovated, anchors the space with clean finishes and brand-new appliances. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and quietly situated overlooking the home's rear garden. A spacious, white-tiled bathroom and split HVAC units complete the upper level. Downstairs, a bonus recreation area offers plenty of flexibility for a lounge, home office, or workout space, along with additional storage. A separate laundry room houses an in-unit washer/dryer, while direct access to the newly redone patio extends the living space outdoors. Vibrantly located near to Bed-Stuy's neighborhood cafes, restaurants, and independent shops, with access to the J and M subway lines. Pets ok
