Cool and sophisticated. Every aspect of this gorgeous, architect-designed, gut-renovated two-family house has been thoughtfully crafted. The owners’ duplex has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. The lower apartment has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath and would rent for about $3700/month. If you prefer a single-family home, no problem. The house was designed and built to be easily converted.

No expense was spared on this gut-renovation. All plumbing, electrical, and heating/cooling are entirely new, done by highly reputable contractors. This all-electric house is extremely well insulated with new doors, energy-star rated windows, and new roofing. The exterior is clad in HardiPlank. The developer has done many houses in the area, has an excellent track record and can provide references upon request.

All 3 floors of this house are absolutely gorgeous. You’ll find wallpapers from Hygge and West, antique, salvaged long-leaf pine shelving and beams, authentic Akari lighting by Noguchi, Schoolhouse Electric and West Elm light fixtures, Zellige tiles and matte-finished white oak flooring.

The open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen are suffused with light from the front bay window, side windows, and rear facade of glass. The kitchen is a cook’s dream. The 9-foot-long island has seating for 4. There is plenty of counter space to prep your favorite meals. Appliances are high-end: a JennAir fridge, a Bosch dishwasher, a Bertazzoni induction stove, and a very quiet, properly vented range hood. The dining area easily accommodates an oversized table. The entryway has been designed to artfully contain all manner of coats, shoes, backpacks, bike helmets, and the like. There is also a long wall of cabinets for storage and a half-bathroom/laundry room on the main floor.

The second floor has four bedrooms (one is staged as an office). Antique, old-growth wood beams define the ceilings in each room. The front and rear bedrooms both have oversized windows looking onto beautiful trees. The middle bedrooms have side windows and skylights with remote-controlled blackout shades.

From the kitchen on the main floor, steel and bluestone steps lead to the landscaped backyard, custom-designed for entertaining and play. The dining area is big enough to hold a 10-12 person table. The grassy area is large enough to play badminton or soccer, or to teach your dog to fetch. Cedar fencing surrounds the yard.

The lower level of the house is currently set up as a two-bedroom, one-bath rental. Monthly rent would be approximately $3700/month. If you want a single-family home now or in the future, this floor is easily connected to the floor above with a stair. All of the structural work to facilitate this has already been done. In fact, a stair was installed here to ease circulation during construction, so we know it works :) See the alternate floor plan.

Thoroughly renovated houses of this quality rarely come on the market. This is the one you have been waiting for. Listing agents are owners.

Perfect, bucolic Windsor Terrace location. Convenient to the F/G trains, Steeplechase Coffee, Hamilton’s, Batata, Stang Thai, Cena, The Adirondack, Le Paddock, Brooklyn Public Library, Greenwood Playground and basketball courts, a dog run, and the tree-lover’s dream - Greenwood Cemetery.
