This 25-foot-wide townhouse at 100 King Street in the quirky waterfront community of Red Hook, Brooklyn, is currently owned by an artist; this fact is not surprising when we step inside the tame-on-the-outside wood-frame home. Asking $2,675,000, the home has a private backyard with a separate studio space, a covered deck, and three floors of colorful rooms and welcoming spaces that are anything but beige.
Updated and move-in ready, the home’s stylish interiors offer painted wood-beamed ceilings and polished hardwood floors that frame a candy-colored collection of wallpaper and tile, as well as painted and natural brick. On the parlor floor, large windows bring sunlight to three exposures. A lush living room features a wood-burning brick fireplace.
The cheerful eat-in kitchen is highlighted by wood cabinetry, stone countertops, and a tile backsplash. One side opens onto an equally colorful dining space; the other accesses a charming covered patio and steps descending to the backyard. A stylish powder room completes this floor.
The garden level offers two bedrooms. One chamber, used as a family room, is anchored by a brick-framed wood-burning stove; another offers a vintage claw-foot soaking tub. There’s a washer and dryer on this level, as well as access to the back patio. Through this private outdoor zone, you’ll find a separate structure ready for use as a studio, workshop, or storage space.
Upstairs, a large primary bedroom features a massive dressing room/closet and an en-suite bath. These colorful rooms share the same vintage candy-box hues as the floors below.
Also on this floor are two more bedrooms and a second full bath done in shades of bubble gum and limeade. Both rooms have plenty of closet space and sunlight.
Built in 1910, this townhouse is both historic and unconventional in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood. Nearby are the parks, playgrounds, galleries, and eateries that win over new residents and visitors daily with their warmth and spirit.
