A buyer’s dream, this luminous four-story building offers exceptional value for upscale living. Currently, a recently renovated owner’s duplex with a terrace and a garden, the upper two floors are floor-through one bedroom apartments that rent month to month. Factor in the rental income, and the cost of this townhouse is equivalent to purchasing a co-op. The taxes are so low that it may cover up to $100,000 in mortgage payments. The ample space and the lush, stone-tiled rear garden make this a perfect home for a playful dog. Facing East/West allows pleasant morning sunlight to fill every corner. On the same block, a townhouse with a similar architectural footprint was featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine and on various television programs.
LAYOUT
Garden Level: Owner’s Master Bedroom Level Enter the garden level either from under the stoop or down a wood staircase on the parlour level. The stoop entrance is surrounded by a tiled floor and has a closet for storage. To the left is the washer/dryer room which also houses the mechanicals. Down the rich-grained hardwood hallway, opposite the staircase to the parlour level, is a small study with inset ceiling lights, dimmer switches, and a closet. Currently, this room is used as a nursery. The master bath is entered through pocket doors from the study. It features a glass fronted shower with an extra wide showerhead, a Jacuzzi tub, butterscotch marble around the sink, inset ceiling lights, and a classic-looking stone tile floor. Walk through another pocket door and you enter into the master bedroom, which can also be accessed by the hallway, past three large closets with frosted glass fronts. The master bedroom, restfully hidden in the rear of the townhouse, features an exposed brick wall, inset ceiling lights, a security keypad, and sliding glass doors, which lead to the garden. This garden has been exquisitely cared for with tall shrubs for privacy and room to grow your own herbs and vegetables. There is plenty of space to dine and entertain. A raised area in far rear provides a fantastic spot to lounge and catch up on Sunday reading. Stairs lead up to the terrace on the parlour level.
Parlour Level: Owner’s Entertaining Level Enter up the stoop into a foyer where the rental units are accessed. To the left is the entrance into the parlour level of the owner’s duplex.

Pass through an archway to enter into a bedroom located in the parlour rear. A pocket door in this room leads to a stone tiled full-bath with a glass bowl sink, wide mirror, and a glass fronted shower. The bedroom also has glass doors to access the terrace.
