    What's special

    Historic brick townhouse with total gut renovation. Everything has been redone, from plumbing, electricity and and top-of the line kitchen appliances, down to the door hardware. Upper level has exposed brick in the kitchen and mbr/living room, with a newly refinished wbfp and full bath and plenty of closet space. Lower level also has a wall of brick, 100+ year old wooden beams and an industrial feel with exposed steel i-beams and posts, large bedroom and full bath. Exposed old stone and brick wine closet. New extra quiet windows throughout, and pin-drop quiet backyard. 2 new HVAC units, a one unit for each bedroom. 2 washers and 2 vented dryers! One on each floor by each bedroom. Separate entrance to downstairs level. Perfect situation for growing/grown children or mother-daughter set up. Is there anything on your shopping list that is not in this home? This is a duplex apartment in a historic two unit, four-story brownstone. One couldn't ask for a better situation than this. Steps to everything New York has to offer: The film forum, Washington Square Park and NYU, plus great restaurants and a small little-known park are all within a few steps. Located so close to Little Italy, NYU and Chinatown make this neighborhood most desirable for its charming retro feel. Many renovated brownstones line the streets of this neighborhood. This makes this location a modern family's dream home.
