Enter into an open 1st floor with living area and a small dining area plus a spacious kitchen with island and two-person breakfast bar. South facing glass doors open to a serene outdoor deck / patio in a quiet courtyard setting. You may ask whether you are in Paris or Queen Village. Either way, it is a beautiful spot.
Hardwood stairs lead up to the 2nd floor, which offers new wide plank wood flooring. The front bedroom has exposed brick, a nice closet, ceiling fan, and two large windows overlooking the lush trees of Monroe Street. The rear bedroom (or office or nursery) has exposed brick, a ceiling fan, and a south facing window. There is a modern full bath in the hallway.
A wall of frosted glass and a new solid wood door delineate the primary suite, which encompasses the entire 3rd floor—Exposed brick, high ceilings, wood floors, ceiling fan, and a large closet highlight this capacious space. Tons of light from the two large windows overlooking Monroe as well as the south-facing glass block and additional window featured in the open concept primary bath. The bath has a large frameless shower, Whirlpool tub, and large granite top vanity. Exposed bricks completes this tastefully eclectic style. If preferred, this bathroom can be readily converted to a more private concept with frosted glass along the stairs (and stair shower panel) to the ceiling along with a door.
