998 Hart Street

998 Hart Street is a beautifully renovated 20-foot wide 2-family townhouse, ideally located in the middle of a quiet, low traffic block, right in the heart of Bushwick’s creative district. The owners of this spectacular home meticulously melded its original historic details with high-end fixtures, finishes, and systems throughout. The house was rebuilt from top to bottom with state-of-the-art mechanicals, all brand new plumbing, electric, spray insulation, central air conditioning, wide plank white oak flooring, a built-in Sonos speaker system, video intercom, and a security camera system. 998 Hart Street comes with the ultimate Brooklyn luxury: two parking spots – one indoor and one outdoor. Coming home to 998 Hart Street, you’ll ascend a tall masonry stoop and enter through carefully restored double doors. The vestibule includes the historic vestiges of an early 20th century intercom system and original wood paneling. Arriving on the parlor floor, you’re greeted with soaring ceilings, and a jaw-dropping vista across an open plan living room, dining room, and kitchen. Tall windows at the front and back suffuse the entire floor with light all day long. A beautifully restored staircase, wide plank oak flooring, a convenient powder room, and an elegant fireplace mantle make this a place you’ll want to call home. The chef’s kitchen is expansive and expertly designed, with beautiful large marble countertops and luxurious appliances right where you want them, including a Bertazzoni six burner range and canopy hood, Bertazzoni paneled refrigerator, Signature Hardware faucet and pot filler, and a wine fridge. The kitchen leads out to a large steel deck perched over a quiet and peaceful backyard. This oasis from the bustle of Brooklyn is a perfect place to entertain and enjoy everyday life. Upstairs you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find tall windows and ceilings that soar over 10 feet high, a feature rarely seen on the top floors of Brooklyn townhouses. There are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a washer-drier here. The primary bedroom suite features three wonderfully grand double-hung windows and a beautifully equipped bathroom, with a spa-like walk-in shower and tub ensemble. On the garden level you’ll find a cheerful studio apartment with a door to the backyard and a wall of windows that frame a private patio and terraced garden. Here’s a great opportunity for a high-income rental, guest suite, home office, media center, art studio, play area and many other possibilities. The garage is enclosed with floor-to-ceiling glass, making this another sun-filled candidate for a wide array of uses. With an energy and character all its own, Bushwick has quickly succeeded the artistic hubs of Williamsburg and Greenpoint as one of Brooklyn’s most innovative and interesting neighborhoods. Exploring its mix of leafy townhouse blocks and wonderfully edgy post-industrial quarters, one discovers a treasure trove of superb restaurants, avant-guard galleries, hip boutiques, and experimental music venues. Playgrounds, a dog run, and lots of trees are two blocks away at the Maria Hernandez Park. Wyckoff Hospital is also just two blocks away. For a quick commute to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn, the L train is just around the corner – you won’t even have to cross the street – and the J/M/Z trains are also nearby. Move right into this beautifully designed sun-filled home and make it the backdrop for your next chapter in Brooklyn.
