Dripping with lovingly restored period details and French country charm, this magazine-worthy 2BR/1.5BA lower duplex is a splendid place to call home. The sun-splashed main living area is housed on the gracious parlor level, which boasts towering ceilings, original hand-carved woodwork, oversize windows, ceiling medallions, custom lighting, and chic white exposed brick. The perfect gathering space for friends and family, the gourmet eat-in kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, a center island, tasteful white and grey shaker-style cabinets, and quartz countertops. A door leads to the balcony with steps down to the exclusive garden. Stained glass pocket doors separate the kitchen from the inviting living/dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows with pocket shutters and decorative fireplace. A half bath is located off the kitchen for convenience. New hardwood covers the floors throughout the unit.

On the garden level are two separate bedrooms, both of which can accommodate ample furnishings, along with a full bath with a new vanity, a clawfoot tub, and a walk-in shower, and a laundry room with a washer-dryer. The expansive garden with perennials (including a rose bush) can be accessed through the laundry room.

Located in a pristine brownstone on a picturesque tree-lined block in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights just steps from trendy restaurants such as Saraghina, Peaches Hot House, Eugene & Company, and TreeHouse BK, along with hip cafes and bars and within a short walk from the C train, the location is ideal.
