A COUNTRY HAVEN IN HISTORIC COBBLE HILL
Tranquility meets affordability in this rare double duplex townhouse that combines fine owner living with substantial rental income.
The lower duplex, which opens onto a large, serene garden, features wide plank floors throughout and detail to spare. A 40' open living/dining expanse on the ground level leads to a country kitchen extension with Wolf range, stainless appliances, open shelving, terra cotta tile floor and glass cupboards.
The second floor, with two sizable bedrooms, is graced by stately parlor windows, crown molding, marble mantels and a room-size walk-in closet. The bathroom is a cameo of ceramic wainscoting and subway tile. In addition, this apartment includes a semi-finished, windowed basement (with half bath), perfect for office, artist's studio or playroom.
The bright, airy upper duplex (12 windows and a skylight) is a warm blend of tin ceilings, exposed brick, decorative fireplaces, butler's pantry and oak floors.
It has its own private stoop entrance and foyer, two bedrooms, a study/office area, formal dining room, and 1 ½ baths (one with washer/dryer). An ideal tenant's apartment, it is currently occupied at $4,000 per month.
Located on a coveted, tree-canopied landmark block—Pacific Street between Clinton and Henry—this 1841 find is mere steps from Brooklyn Heights, convenient to almost all subway lines, in a neighborhood long regarded for its fine food shopping (like Trader Joe's and Sahadi's) and superb restaurants. |
