Spacious Duplex with Spectacular Garden

Generously-sized duplex with an incredibly expansive and open backyard presents an excellent townhouse alternative. This two bedroom, one and a half bath home spread over two levels measuring 1,914 square ft inside with an additional 720 sq ft yard includes a lower level offering flexible and multiple uses. Situated in a well-managed boutique four-family brownstone building on one of the most desirable leafy blocks in the Columbia St Waterfront District, the apartment has been meticulously maintained and features many thoughtful touches.

To start, the entryway has a custom-designed coat closet and a convenient, discrete, and welcoming mudroom area with custom-built bench, hooks and shoe storage cubes. From there, scan the length of the main floor, past the kitchen and dining room, where the beautiful backyard immediately beckons.

The main floor consists of the kitchen, dining area, living room, two bedrooms, a full bath, and the yard, an organic extension of the living area. A chef’s delight, the kitchen is warmed by a stunning walnut countertop stretching more than twelve feet, fabricated in Pennsylvania and customized for the space. Large drawers and cabinets provide plenty of storage, and appliances are top of the line: Sub-Zero refrigerator, Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher and five-burner stove, a drinks fridge and a wine fridge, microwave, and a venting range hood. Polar White granite counters and porcelain backsplash complete the kitchen. Family, guests, and chefs alike will enjoy the open floor plan and easy access to the dining and living rooms. This floor has nine and ten foot ceilings and recessed lighting. Central air conditioning and heating that you control are found throughout.

Moving to the yard is a breeze. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors off the living and dining areas glide easily to fold open accessing your wonderfully private and quiet oasis. Indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly. The garden brings a new dimension to work-from-home. The backyard features an ipe wood deck which is in great condition and outfitted with built-in seating, lighting, electric, a sink with granite countertop, a Viking gas grill, and a drip irrigation watering system.

The primary bedroom is large and has two oversized windows with customized motorized privacy shades and amazing storage
