We appreciate how difficult it is to find just the right home. It feels like you’re always compromising on matters that are important to you. Space, you need space. Not just the number of rooms, but sizes make a difference. The layout, too, has to flow well for convenience and ease. For everyday living. For when you have family and friends. Or when you are alone, resting, working, or studying. Perhaps it’s time to visit 143 Milton Street. Having just undergone a multi-year renovation, it’s ready to become the happy home for those weary of the search. This four-story row house offers the rare depth, volume, and width that are hard to find in a condominium, much less a house. But unlike townhouses, living is not nearly as dauntingly vertical. And compared to a new condo, this one’s a steal! But let’s start from the beginning. You turn to the beautifully tree-lined and serene Milton Street, one block away from the main neighborhood hub, which is the intersection of Greenpoint and Manhattan Avenues. In a concrete jungle like NYC, curb appeal is rarely a thing. But in this instance, it is. In front of the house is a lovely private, planted, front garden setting the scene. Built in 1894 as one of seven, the house features a Queen Anne-style facade adorned with red roman brick and stone. Above the parlor, an oriel is perched on the second floor, then a loggia above it. Upon entry, one is greeted with a sitting/reading nook overlooking the bay window and garden. Next, open living and dining gives a calming sense of space, light, and volume. Proceeding along a corridor: a bench, coat closet, and a writing desk. A bright and spacious windowed kitchen gracefully finishes the floor. It is equipped with Miele appliances, surrounded by lovely light gray custom cabinetry and light stone countertop. On the second floor, one finds a rear secondary bedroom. A garden-facing full-width bedroom is located opposite, while a full marble bathroom opens onto the landing. The top floor houses the largest of the bedrooms in depth. Like the one below, it is street-facing. But in lieu of the lower floor’s bay window and window seating courtesy of the oriel, this one opens onto a charming loggia. En suite, another marble bath. The lowest level boasts a uniquely flexible space, configured as a family/den/guest room with its own front access to the garden. It also showcases a bar and an enormous, spa-like bathroom in the rear. In addition, the floor also houses the laundry closet with a washer/dryer. Other features of the house include an elevator servicing all floors, high ceilings and wide wooden floors throughout, central air-conditioning, and an alarm system. This turn-key home awaits its lucky new owner. Located in Greenpoint Historic District, convenient transportation, groceries, shops, and individual, generationally-owned stores still abound. Parks are within quick walking distance, with more to come. And unlike most neighborhoods, it has yet to reach its maximum potential–hence, making it a great investment to boot! Seize this rare opportunity. See it today and move-in tomorrow.
