Fusion at 286 20th St. #1A

286 20th Street (aka “The Fusion”) is a community minded boutique condo in vibrant Greenwood Heights. Unit #1A is as unique as its next owner. Functioning easily as a 1BR, 2BR or even 3BR residence, this 1371 square foot duplex is fluid, flexible and defies labels. The correct and proper use is up to you!

Enter the foyer, move past the flanking coat closet and full bathroom, and into a luminous granite and stainless steel kitchen, and a spacious dining area. This open concept space is brightly lit by a wall of windows, including a glass sliding door leading to a private patio, the first of two private outdoor spaces and a perfect nook for morning coffee, grilling or growing herbs.

Take the stairs down to the lower level of this remarkable residence, where two, distinct spaces offer considerable flexibility of use. In the North wing, a large room with two huge closets functions well for the current owners as a primary bedroom. This room accesses one of the most interesting outdoor spaces in Brooklyn, ideal for a large-scale terrarium, bird habitat or display case for the art of your choice. Move on through the lower level, past the cozy remote learning nook and into yet another functional bedroom or rec room area.

Hang on, what’s this? Sliding doors lead to an interior courtyard, ideal for relaxing and listening to the sounds of the famous Green-Wood parrots. And beyond – another entirely separate building? It’s true! The crowning jewel of this fabulous apartment is a secluded suite with a full bathroom, another giant closet and a wall of windows. Given the panoply of space use choices, working from home, remote learning and socially distant entertaining will take on new meaning in this unparalleled apartment.

286 20th Street is legally classified as a studio with rec space, but is so much more. The Fusion is minutes from the R train at Prospect Avenue and steps from the myriad dining and entertainment options (Roots Cafe, Korzo, Nostro, Panchito’s Place, Yardsale, Quarter Bar, Lot 2, Battle Hill Tavern, Green-Wood Cemetery) that make Greenwood one of Brooklyn’s best kept secrets. With central A/C, low common charges and taxes abated through 2033, this uncommon apartment is a place to put down roots.
