Come live in this artsy, large, truly one-of-a-kind first floor apartment in a Bed-Stuy brownstone (Bushwick border). The house has been artfully restored, highlighting the original features of the Amzi Hill design while adding unique touches throughout. Authentic tin ceilings, exposed brick, antique French doors, distressed shutters and a marble bath give the apartment a Tuscan air. The kitchen has handmade talavera tile and artisanal cherrywood countertops to match the original parquet floor. The apartment has a huge master bedroom with french doors and distressed victorian wall panels throughout, a spacious living room/kitchen, another spacious second bedroom/guest room which leads to another smaller room, used as an office/workshop/studio with private access to the shared garden. Perfect for anyone looking for a very unique, and beautiful living situation. (Note: this is a true "garden level" unit with full height ceilings and windows, not a basement apartment. The actual basement is one floor below.)
Historical charm aside, the entire building was recently renovated with brand new electricity and plumbing, and all-new appliances. The garden apartment has its own private entrance from the street, and its own washer/dryer. The building also has a Finnish sauna on the second floor that is shared among tenants.
Transportation: we are 3 blocks away from the J/M/Z trains and also close to all things Bed Stuy (restaurants, cafe's etc.) and Bushwick (galleries). This is an owner-occupied building. Street parking is available.
Small cats are allowed, provided they stay inside the apartment
