Description
Built in the late 1860’s in the Greek Revival style, 156 Nevins Street sits in the middle of a tree-lined landmarked block in the heart of Boerum Hill. This sun-filled 2-family brick townhouse is configured as a single-family home with two full baths and three bedrooms, and the potential for a fourth large bedroom. The garden floor features an open plan kitchen and dining area which steps out to a sunny backyard, with a bucolic view down the center of the block. A convenient pantry off the kitchen artfully conceals stairs to a full cellar. Upstairs, the parlor floor is open and lofty with a wood burning fireplace, oak floors, and the original staircase. The top floor features two bedrooms, a full bath, an office, and two more fireplaces. 156 Nevins Street sits at the crossroads of several great Brooklyn neighborhoods. The shops, restaurants and attractions of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn are all within just a few blocks. For transportation to Manhattan and the rest of the city this location cannot be beat! The B65 bus stops at the corner. The 2, 3, 4, 5 trains are nearby at Nevins and Flatbush, and Atlantic Terminal provides access to the B, D, N, R, Q and LIRR trains just a few blocks away. The F and G subways are three blocks away on Smith Street. The A and C trains are also close by at Hoyt – Schermerhorn. Move right into 156 Nevins Street, or bring your architect and contractor to customize this beautiful home to your lifestyle. Delivered vacant.
