The elusive and affordable townhouse in Greenpoint is finally available for you to call home, for less than a 2-bedroom condo! Situated perfectly between the waterfront parks on West Street and the artisanal shops and restaurants on Franklin, this enchanting home offers flexible space, a magical garden, rental income, or the opportunity to take over the entire home and create your dream residence. Built 20 wide x 40 deep on a 23 wide x 100 lot, there is even an approx. 2800 SF of buildable should you want to expand upon the current footprint! Re-built from the inside out less than ten years ago, this charmer offers a solid backdrop to your new life in this wonderful neighborhood. Roof, boiler, electric, plumbing, windows, structure and façade were all updated to create two full-floor apartments that both offer three exposures, two bedrooms, and fantastic light. The current owner lives on the first floor, enjoying a large garden in addition to a side-yard with street access, perfect for gardeners who don't want to have to take their plants through the house. Even better, in today's world, have friends over for backyard social distancing and no one ever has to come through the house! Whimsical and light-filled, the first floor apartment has been outfitted with Cole and Son's wallpaper, a cook's kitchen with white cabinetry, a butcher block countertop, oversized LG fridge with ice-maker, and a double drawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. A modern rustic bathroom in subway tile with great storage awaits. And don't miss the oversized LG fully vented washer and dryer. Tucked away from the living room are two spacious bedrooms with multiple exposures and great closet space. The garden has been lovingly tended to for the last decade and offers seasonal perennials for the intrepid gardener who likes to care for well-established plantings. Enjoy daffodils and tulips in the spring, and lilacs, day lilies, herbs and butterfly bushes all summer long. There is a grassy area for playtime and hardscaping perfect for outdoor dining and lounging. The top floor is a spacious 2 bedroom rental apartment with treetop views and the ability to add a terrace for more rental income, or combine with the ground floor and enjoy two wide and deep loft-like floors that allow for great space and only one flight of stairs. The best of all worlds! The house doesn't have a cellar but bikes and storage are easily accommodated in the utility room on the first floor. This is an easy and flexible home that allows you to live in your favorite neighborhood while paying your low taxes and utilities with the upstairs rental income. Own an entire house for less than the price of a two-bedroom condo, and add your designer touches over time. A quick paint job and you can move right in and enjoy all of the small town treats that Greenpoint has to offer ranging from Waterfront Parks, schools, restaurants, bike paths, music venues, and easy access out of the city for weekends away.
