12 Lawton Street 1ABrooklyn, NY 11221

12 Lawton Street, Unit 1A is a 1,281-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath duplex home offering thoughtful design, exceptional storage, and a truly expansive private yard.

The main floor features wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout and a well-proportioned living space with box-trim detailing in the living room, lending architectural weight and sophistication to the modern design. Across from the kitchen is a large, built-in closet set within an area perfectly suited for a dedicated dining setup-both practical and thoughtfully integrated into the home.

The kitchen is sleek and highly considered, designed with a peninsula with waterfall edge, Liebherr refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel range, Bosch dishwasher, and open shelving for cookbooks and display. A ceiling panel detail above the kitchen subtly defines the space while preserving an open flow. An LG in-unit washer/dryer is also located on this level.
The primary bedroom is a true design statement, anchored by a custom wall with classic box trim and a gold-edged chair rail, paired with white oak ribbed paneling below. A large tiered chandelier casts warm, moody light throughout the room, while a generous walk-in closet adds ease, organization, and everyday comfort.

The secondary bedroom carries its own refined character, with a striped modern wallpapered accent wall framed by classic box trim, complemented by a modern brass light fixture that provides soft ambient lighting. Storage is abundant, with a closet running nearly the full length of the wall.

The lower level offers a true second living zone, ideal as a family room, media room, home office, gym, or playroom, complete with a half bath and an exceptional amount of additional storage. The duplex layout creates a clear sense of separation, allowing each level of the home to serve a distinct purpose.

The home's most compelling feature is its 529-square-foot private yard, an expansive outdoor space that truly extends the living experience for three seasons of the year. Ideal for alfresco dining, entertaining, or quiet mornings, the yard also offers ample room for growing organic herbs and vegetables, creating an indoor-outdoor lifestyle that feels both intentional and rare.

Set on a quiet Bushwick block near the L, J, and M subway lines, the home is surrounded by the neighborhood's dining, retail, and nightlife, with convenient access throughout Brooklyn and into Manhattan.
