From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Brand-New Luxury Townhouse with Solar Power and Near-Zero Utility Costs Be the very first to live in this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath single-family townhouse, the result of a meticulous five-year gut renovation that has just been completed. Powered by solar panels and newly converted to all-electric heating and cooling, this home offers something rarely found in Brooklyn: monthly utility costs that are close to nothing, with cooking gas as essentially the only bill. Every detail was finished to the standard of a high-end new development. Solid red oak floors run throughout, bathrooms are appointed with Kohler fixturesand tub, and the kitchen features quartz countertops and brand-new GE and Frigidaire appliances. Paired with striking light fixtures, the quality of the craftsmanship is best appreciated in person. Spanning over 1,870 square feet across three finished levels, the home begins behind a black wrought-iron gated front garden with a classic covered porch and a solid wood entry door framed by sidelights. Inside, the sunlit living room features high ceilings and curved bay windows, flowing openly into the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a large breakfast bar, and west-facing windows overlooking the garden. A powder room and rear vestibule lead out to a large, serene backyard with ample room for planting, dining, grilling, and play. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, one easily suited to a home office, along with a beautifully finished full bath with a deep Kohler soaking tub. The fully finished lower level includes large closets, a kitchenette, and its own private access to the backyard, making it ideal as a media room, gym, office, guest space, or studio. Additional highlights include all-new Gree ceiling-mounted mini-split heating and cooling with individual climate control in every room, an in-unit LG washer and dryer, and east, west, and north exposures that fill the home with light. Set on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Flatbush, the home is two and a half blocks from the 2/5 at Beverly Road, with the B/Q also close by. Downtown Manhattan is about 35 minutes away, and the Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden, and Grand Army Plaza are about 15. The Kings Theatre and the restaurants and cafes of Cortelyou Road are five blocks away, and Prospect Park and the Parade Grounds are less than a mile away. Tenant responsible for utilities. Solar power substantially offsets electric costs. Showings by appointment. The first two listing photos with furniture are virtually staged.
