Description
New to Market! Newly Renovated 2-Family Townhouse in the Heart of Williamsburg! Welcome to 242 Leonard St, where every detail has been carefully planned out... Walk inside this incredible home and you'll find a massive open floor plan, a common theme you'll find throughout. Located on one of the bigger lots you'll find in the neighborhood, everything is massive here. The open sun-lit kitchen gets a beautiful view of the yard and allows for plenty of seating space, while the proper dining room right off the kitchen gives you even more options and room to entertain. Next you'll find the open living area thats drenched with afternoon sun from the buildings western exposure, a walk in laundry room/pantry with plenty of extra storage, plus a half bath and extra storage closets throughout the floor. Head back to the yard where youll find the largest lot on the block. This huge open space features an open concrete area with soil trim for all your planting desires, while leaving the yard neat and easy to maintain. Currently set up with two storage sheds and a natural privacy fence, this is the type of outdoor space youve been looking. Head back inside and upstairs to the second floor of the duplex and youll be greeted by another living room/siting room and custom built bathroom complete with powder room. This floor also boasts two strikingly large bedrooms, ones you almost have to see to believe. Both comfortably fit king size beds plus other large piece of furniture, while the master bedroom has an enormous walk-in-closet that spans the entire length of the room. Both bedrooms feature nearly wall-to-wall windows with plenty of closet space and floor space for dressers, desks or any other large furniture pieces. On the top floor youll find the second unit of this two family house, which has its own private entrance from the buildings stoop. With the same footprint as the second floor, the sun-drenched bedrooms and living space are absolutely enormous and allow for plenty of layout options, while also gaining an extra home office/walk-in-closet thanks to being on the top floor. Sitting on a 20x100 lot with a max FAR of 2, the house is currently built to 0.84 leaving you plenty of room and options available if you happen to need even more space. This beautiful property is a rare find that will not last.
