Evoking the Williamsburg modernist era, this meticulous 21-foot-wide townhome is perfectly situated on a quiet tree-lined townhouse block. Beautifully renovated in 2023-2024, the charming home boasts gracious proportions, a three-bay fa�ade, customized large doors and windows, and a charming front and back balcony. Spanning around 2600 square feet, this four-story residence offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and the opportunity to rent out the garden unit.
Among the many upgrades made by the current owner in 2023/4 are a new energy-efficient boiler, HVAC systems, a new rooftop with skyline views, updated drainage, down piping, and exterior decking.

The home is entered through a gated street entrance that opens onto a front garden and an elegant entry vestibule. This level includes a living room with a custom kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom featuring a casement glass door leading into the enchanting garden. This floor can be used as additional living space for the owners unit or can be rented out as a legal second unit.
The Kitchen
Designed by a local Brooklyn firm, the open kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances from Italian brand Bertazzoni, stunning quartz countertops with an island for guests, as well as fine custom cabinetry. From the kitchen, you can access the private backyard?a dream space in itself. The garden's ivy-covered walls and twinkling bistro lights create a peaceful, secluded refuge that makes you forget you're in the heart of New York City.
The Parlor
With soaring ceilings and an architectural staircase, the parlor level is an ideal space for entertaining. The picture windows face west over Manhattan Avenue and bathe the room in natural light throughout the day. The casement door opens up a terrace off the kitchen which leads into the enchanting garden, adorned with a minimal black iron, it extends the width of the house, offering a perfect spot to bask in the sun. The rear parlor is currently home to the custom kitchen and thoughtfully designed powder room.
