Description

Over 1500 square feet of beautiful indoor/outdoor living with extremely low monthly carrying costs! This lovely, renovated duplex with lush outdoor space provides a tranquil getaway in the heart of exciting Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The meticulous updates to this sprawling two-bedroom plus office, two-bath duplex are evident the moment you enter the open concept first floor. Refinished oak floors with inlaid details will usher you to the main living space lit by three large windows and accented with handmade sliding barn doors concealing convenient closet space. Nearby, the lovely kitchen is modern take on farmhouse chic. A subway tile backsplash, sleek counters, ample cabinetry and a walk-in pantry surround full-size stainless steel appliances, including a new dishwasher and a Jenn-Air range, to create a space that is both beautiful and functional. A spacious dining area and renovated bathroom with jetted bathtub round out this comfortable living space. Private quarters are situated downstairs, providing optimal privacy and quiet. Originally configured as a legal one-bedroom home, as defined in the offering plan, the garden level has been reworked to include a master suite, an additional bedroom plus a convenient home office. The peaceful and bright master suite is lined with painted and exposed brick and outfitted with an en suite bathroom and walk-in working cedar sauna currently being used as a closet. The second bedroom features a sunny, oversized window and brick accents, while the convenient home office provides the perfect nook for quiet concentration. A washer and dryer are also located on this floor as well. Outside the master bedroom, you'll find a beautifully terraced outdoor space that provides a splash of greenery and ample room for relaxation and al fresco dining. Here, you'll be able to put your green thumb to the test with an urban garden, supported by a small shed and inspired by an organic apple tree that yields four different types of apples! With a lush lawn and paved patio, this space will become a cherished respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. 687 Leonard is a well-maintained condominium building located just a few minutes from the eclectic restaurants, nightlife venues and shops of both Franklin Street and Bedford Avenue. Importantly, it is also currently zoned within an excellent elementary school district, #34 (insideschools.org). Nearby open space is abundant with famed McCarren Park just three blocks south and Bushwick Inlet a little further. The G train is moments away, connecting you to the rest of Brooklyn, and the L station at Bedford is less than a mile away, through the park, providing direct one-stop access into Manhattan.
