Presenting an opportunity to own a unique home with parking and a stunning roof patio set in the heart of Windsor Terrace. Built in 1925, this semi attached two family brick house is wide and deep, offering light on three sides plus a two car garage. A vertical extension designed by architect David Johnson of Archstudio in 2009 added a floor and created an expansive upper duplex, the focal point of which is the gracious bluestone roof patio with 360 degrees open sky, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and a panoramic view over Brooklyn. Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an eat in kitchen with stone counters, a dining room, and three separate living spaces plus a den, make this a perfect home for living and working. This classic contemporary residence has been well cared for, and has many custom design elements, including custom windows, and the owner's duplex has central AC with two zones.
A renovated high income rental with its own outdoor space makes this a very practical house, as does the finished basement with a separate entrance, two large private rooms, and laundry. Basement space is not included in the square footage. This one of a kind home is steps from Prospect Park, shopping, and the delightful restaurants on PPW and in Park Slope. Listed by owner/ agent.
