Set on an expansive 36-foot-wide lot in South Slope, 285 20th Street is a truly distinctive residence offering approximately 2,280 square feet of interior living space, two beautifully landscaped gardens, and the rare convenience of a private two-car garage. The property also offers an estimated 6,475 square feet of potential additional buildable area. With its loft-inspired design, abundant natural light, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living, this home offers a unique retreat in the heart of Brooklyn.

A wall of windows overlooks the front garden, while generous proportions provide ample room for dining and entertaining. Beyond the kitchen, the interiors showcase exposed wood beams, hardwood floors, multiple skylights, and thoughtfully integrated storage. The inviting living room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace framed by custom white oak built-ins. Both bedrooms offer tranquil views of the rear garden, and the primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and an oversized cedar-lined walk-in closet. Outside, two private gardens offer a rare sense of tranquility, including an approximately 750-square-foot side garden complete with a fountain and raised planting beds. Additional highlights include central air conditioning, radiant and forced-air heating, in-home laundry, and the potential for further expansion, subject to approvals. Conveniently located near the restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and transportation options of South Slope, 285 20th Street presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the space and privacy of a standalone home with the creative character of a Brooklyn loft.
