For anyone coveting Brooklyn brownstone living, this four-story townhouse at 107 Greene Avenue would certainly fit the description. The 3,360 square-foot home, asking $4,100,000, has retained its historic details as a backdrop for modern living. With four bedrooms and an enviable backyard, the legal two-family dwelling is currently configured as a single-family home, so there’s potential for adding a second apartment for income or guests.
Entering on the garden level, you’ll find a bedroom, a den, and a full bathroom. The den could easily become an additional bedroom.
On the parlor floor, new flooring joins restored wood pocket doors and a carved wood fireplace. The living room is sun-filled and lovely, and the open living space allows for light to flow throughout. A formal dining room is just beyond the living room.
The freshly renovated kitchen seamlessly brings old and new together–including new Anderson windows. The space has been outfitted with Viking appliances, Leicht cabinetry and Quartzite worktops. A modern chandelier highlights a hard-working prep island with a double sink and dishwasher. There is also a separate study on this floor.
On the next floor is the home’s primary suite, featuring a large, light-filled bedroom, ensuite bath, and sitting room. The bathroom features a glass shower enclosure and a double vanity; a pocket door and original glass doors lead to the large sitting room. This floor boasts two working fireplaces, large closets, and custom window treatments.
On the home’s top floor are two more spacious bedrooms–and two more fireplaces. A sparkling and spa-like bathroom serves both. A laundry room features a new washer/dryer. The rooftop, accessible by stairs from this floor, could become a landscaped garden or sunny deck.
The private backyard offers plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Raised beds make urban gardening an easy option.
Behind-the-scenes renovations include new radiators, split system HVAC, custom closets, and custom lighting as well as many mechanical upgrades. 6sqft previously featured the townhouse in 2016–pre-renovation–when it was listed for $2.995 million, so you can see the transformation.
