    Prime PAULUS HOOK Brownstone Stunner with Private Backyard! Located on one of most beautiful streets, directly on the Paulus Hook waterfront, awaits this gorgeous full-floor, parlor level, 2bd/2ba simplex. Magnificent historic detail mixed with today's modern design for an unmatched lifestyle. Enter to soaring 11ft. ceilings, significant crown moldings, medallions, fireplace, and oversized windows w/original interior shutters frame the Statue of Liberty, Hudson River, and treetop views over this fabulous neighborhood. The open concept living/dining room seamlessly flows into the beautifully renovated chef's kitchen, with a full suite of professional s/s appliances, nero stone countertops, crisp shaker-style cabinetry, "snow" subway tile backsplash, and under counter lighting. Tucked quietly in the rear of the home awaits two king-sized bedrooms (the second featuring a fully functional fireplace), new full bath, and the fabulous primary suite encased in oversized windows, a custom renovated en-suite bathroom, and access to the showstopper fenced backyard! You'll feel like you're in the Hamptons...surrounded by mature trees, architectural stone, and fabulous space to dine, recline, and entertain! An additional morning balcony is also the perfect spot for a cup of coffee, while you take in the private serenity. Central HVAC, in-home full sized w/d, original hardwood floors, low hoa's, and reserved Essex st. residents only parking complete the picture. Right outside your front door awaits Sam A.M., Whole Foods Market, Light Horse Tavern, Satis, White Star Bar, NY Waterway, Exchange Place and Grove St. PATH stations, and the coveted PS 16/Bradford school district. This one is not to be missed!
