Secret Garden Duplex: Brooklyn Luxe Redefined
Tucked away behind a classic Crown Heights limestone facade lies a truly one-of-a-kind rental a 2.5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom designer duplex with over 2,000 square feet of interior space, two private outdoor retreats, central heating and cooling, and an aesthetic all its own.
This isn't just an apartment it's a residence, a rare blend of scale, substance, and soul. Every inch has been curated with intention: oversized bedrooms, all with en-suite baths; a bonus home office or den; a massive open-concept living room; a custom chef's kitchen; spa-worthy bathrooms; and a flow that's built for both solitude and celebration. The apartment offers the generous proportions of a single-family home only elevated.
Designer Touches + Dreamy Layout
From the moment you enter, the thoughtful upgrades are undeniable. The foyer welcomes you with a five-section custom closet wall and a separate laundry closet with full-size washer/dryer and steam + sanitize cycles. Across the hall, step into your very own 100 sqft spa sanctuary, complete with heated herringbone tile floors, a six-foot soaking tub, double rainfall shower, and a double vanity dry zone swathed in rich turquoise and bright white tilework.
Wander into the show-stopping 700 sqft living and dining area, where the wide open, sunlit from three exposures set the tone for everyday peace. At the far end, the windowed U-shaped kitchen is outfitted with double wall ovens, a Viking 6-burner cooktop, 5' fridge and 5' freezer, lazy susans, deep storage drawers, open shelving, and a built-in wine rack. Whether you're hosting 10 for dinner or meal-prepping solo, it performs like a dream.
Outdoor Escapes, Up and Down
Take a few steps up to a charming private courtyard (75 sqft) grill-ready and lounge-approved, with deck and grass zones perfect for golden hour gatherings. Further upstairs, find a marble half-bath and skylit hallway leading to your private sleeping quarters.
The primary suite is a full-on retreat: 15' x 20', dual exposures (north and south), hardwood floors, and an 8' wall of closets. The ensuite bath boasts a rainfall shower and stone floors, with hotel-like finishes throughout.
Past the skylit corridor, head down a tucked-away stair to your second private outdoor space a serene garden patio built for coffee, conversation, or quiet reflection. Just beyond is a two-room suite an inner king size sleeping chamber with en-suite bath, and an outer room ideal for a cozy lounge, library, or oversized home office.
