About This Property
Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully designed, this three-story, two-family townhouse offers the perfect combination of space, style, rental income, and the added luxury of a PRIVATE DRIVEWAY with a solar panel canopy system and EV charging! Situated on a picturesque, tree-lined block in Ocean Hill, the home features a spacious three-bedroom, 2.5-bath owner's duplex above a beautifully finished two-bedroom rental apartment. With its inviting interiors, generous proportions, and wonderful outdoor space, this is a home that truly checks all the boxes.
Enter the owner's duplex and you'll immediately appreciate the expansive, sun-filled living space and seamless open layout, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The stunning kitchen is the heart of the home, beautifully appointed with floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry along two walls, an oversized center island, and an abundance of storage and workspace. Marble backsplash tiles, Caesarstone countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including dishwasher, a KitchenAid trash compactor, and Samsung smart refrigerator, range and microwave complete this impressive space. A thoughtfully integrated home office area adds yet another layer of functionality.
The open layout easily accommodates a generously proportioned dining area and a comfortable, spacious living room. Large south-facing windows bathe the space in beautiful afternoon light, while a stylish powder room is discreetly tucked just off the living area.
Just beyond the kitchen, a door opens to a charming deck, perfectly positioned for grilling and outdoor dining. From here, stairs lead down to the generously sized backyard, a wonderful blank canvas with endless possibilities for creating a lush garden, entertaining area, or your own private outdoor retreat.
Upstairs, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The spacious primary suite offers excellent closet space and a beautifully finished en suite bath with marble tile floors, a large vanity, and a glass-enclosed rain shower. Two additional bedrooms, both with great natural light, share a second full bathroom down the hall.
Throughout the duplex, handsome hardwood floors, high ceilings, and ductless split systems for heating and cooling add to the home's comfort and appeal.
The first-floor rental apartment is every bit as thoughtfully finished as the owner's residence. Featuring a generous living area, two bedrooms, excellent closet space, and a modern full bathroom, the apartment offers a stylish and comfortable place to call home. The beautifully renovated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula with seating. A washer/dryer hookup adds convenience, making this an especially appealing rental with excellent income potential.
A full, unfinished cellar extends the length of the house, providing abundant additional storage.
And perhaps best of all, the property features its own driveway and curb cut for off-street parking-a tremendous convenience and a rare find!
Located on a lovely residential block in Ocean Hill, the home is just moments from the extensive transportation options at Broadway Junction, offering convenient access throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, and beyond. With neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shops, and everyday conveniences nearby, this beautifully updated townhouse offers the best of comfortable city living, with the added benefit of rental income to help offset the cost of ownership.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Custom cabinets rise from the floor to the ceiling on two walls of the kitchen, and a large center island adds room for prep and storage. I'd spend the most time there. The open layout connects it to a generous dining area and a comfortable living room, which suits everyday use and entertaining, though cooking and working share the same open space.
Marble backsplash tiles and Caesarstone countertops finish the kitchen, along with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, a KitchenAid trash compactor, and a Samsung smart refrigerator, range and microwave.
The large south-facing windows bring in strong light. Direct sun reaches the south windows from about 9:55 AM to 4:00 PM at the June solstice, and from 8:04 AM to 6:01 PM at the spring equinox, so you get about 10 hours on a spring day. Nearby buildings can block some of that.
A door off the kitchen opens to a deck, and stairs lead down to the backyard. The private outdoor space is over 60 square feet. The property also has a private driveway with a solar panel canopy and EV charging.
Callahan-Kelly Playground is about 1 minute on foot, and Broadway Junction, served by the A, C, J, L and Z, is about 3 minutes away. America's Food Basket is about 7 minutes away.
The first-floor rental apartment is finished to the same standard, with a renovated kitchen that has white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a peninsula with seating.
