Listing Notes

OPEN HOUSE NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED - CAN'T MAKE THE OPEN HOUSE? MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, SHOWINGS EVERYDAY. This 1, 296 sq ft two bedroom duplex offers 2.5 bathrooms and an impressive 848 sq ft private backyard, something you rarely find in the city. South facing windows fill the home with natural light all day long, so the space always feels bright and welcoming. The two bedrooms don't share a wall, offering great privacy and quiet, ideal for working from home or peaceful downtime. Busy mornings are easy with two full bathrooms. One is ensuite to the primary bedroom, while the second is conveniently located in the common area for guests. The kitchen and dining area sit perfectly between the bedrooms and overlook the backyard, creating a great flow for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 30-inch gas range and a large island (approximately 96 x 36 inches). The true highlight is the private backyard, anchored by a stunning red oak tree estimated to be over 100 years old your own slice of nature in the city. Downstairs, a finished 483 sq ft basement with nearly 9-foot ceilings includes a half bathroom, a second private entrance, and a 97 sq ft patio for fresh air and natural light. It's a flexible space that works beautifully as a media room, gym, playroom, or guest area. Conveniently located near the A and C trains and the Gates J, the home offers easy access to Manhattan. The neighborhood provides simple street parking, bike-friendly routes, and a wide range of local favorites including Chez Oskar, Dick & Jane's, Peaches Hot House, Saraghina, Nana Ramen, L'Antagoniste, and more. A variety of cafs, yoga studios, grocery stores, restaurants, and boutique shops further enhance the appeal of this vibrant community.
