Welcome to “The Little House in the Back,” a secret treasure located in swanky Boerum Hill. This unique co-op is built as a 4-unit townhouse at the front of the property, with a free-standing two-story unit plus rec room in the backyard. The entire structure is yours: you have no neighbors above, below or next to you. You also have exclusive roof rights to build a deck (with proper City and co-op approvals, of course), and a completely private front yard to show off your green thumb. The interior consists of a living/dining area with a chef’s kitchen on the first floor, two bedrooms with a full bathroom on the top floor, and a rec room with another full bathroom on the lower floor. A Mitsubishi mini-split air conditioning and heating system allows you to control the temperature individually in each room on the two main floors.
The open living/dining area has a combination of exposed brick, wood beams, steel beams, hardwood floors, and tin ceilings, adding incredible character and charm. The enormous, windowed chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with a Bosch dishwasher, a Jade 6-burner stove with a griddle and a double oven which is fully vented, a deep stainless-steel sink with pedal faucet controls, large refrigerator, and built-in microwave. There is also plenty of solid wood cabinetry above and below providing a ton of storage.
A skylight lights the modern wood and steel staircase which takes you up through an exposed brick stairwell to the second floor. The primary bedroom adorned with tin ceilings is large enough to fit a king-sized bed and has a large cedar lined closet. Full-height windows provide a beautiful view of the trees and let plenty of light into the room. The second bedroom is light and bright with beautiful tree views and plenty of storage space. The windowed bathroom is replete with exposed brick, a claw foot tub, tin ceilings, and a large bowl vessel sink atop a custom antique dresser turned vanity.
The heated rec room is located underground so it stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. With three custom built-in bookcases, a full bathroom with a washer and dryer, an exposed beam, and beautiful slate tile floors, it offers so many possibilities: movie/entertainment room, home office, guest room, playroom, exercise room, etc.
