Located in an 1845 brownstone in Brooklyn Heights on the corner of Willow and Orange Street this duplex maisonette awaits. This special home has its own private entrance on Orange Street and is charming and exclusive in every way. Perfectly located just a short distance the Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, this residence has an open, airy contemporary renovation yet the cozy bedrooms and environments of traditional home. Upon entering, pass through the gracious foyer and step into your double height sunlit gallery complete with exposed brick, a wood burning fireplace and a newly renovated chef’s kitchen with exposed beams, custom cabinetry, professional stainless-steel appliances, and an open view to the living area. The open plan living room and the dining area off the kitchen make a wonderful entertaining space on the lower level. Modern and comfortable, open and airy. The favorite room in the home is the paneled den/library complete with custom millwork and elegant built-ins. This den would make a splendid guest room or bedroom and a floor away from the 2 other chambers. The lower level is completed by a modern full bath with a stone stall shower which serves as a powder room as well. The second level of the home includes two oversized bedrooms, the master featuring a bay window perfect for a reading nook, a renovated full bath, and extraordinary storage in a wall of closets that also accommodates a full-size washer and dryer. The second level also features a unique mezzanine style gallery which overlooks the living area. This space is spacious enough currently to house a baby grand piano, a sunny home office and a large library. We are showing this unique home by appointment only.
