Brand New Two Family Brick Townhome in Crown Heights! Welcome to 159 Schenectady Avenue, situated across the street from St. Johns Park in the eclectic neighborhood of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Built 19x52, this gem consists of a two bedroom, 3 full bathroom garden duplex unit with an additional 800+ square foot of recreational space plus a large private backyard, and a gorgeous three bedroom, two full bathroom rental upstairs. Expertly updated from the inside out, this home has been tastefully modernized offering all the comforts of a contemporary home such as central heat and air, Bluetooth speakers, and a washer & dryer hookup in each unit. The duplex has high ceilings, hardwood red oak floors, and a living room bursting with sunlight! The kitchen has been outfitted with a GE Cafe appliance set, lots of countertop space for prep work and an oversized island. Step right out the door of the king-sized primary bedroom into your lush garden, perfect for outdoor entertaining, gardening and dining al fresco! The garden is accessible from both floors of the duplex. With interior and exterior access to the garden level, this space could be treated as an extension of your living room or as a separate home office/work space. High ceilings and a full bathroom also make it a perfect guest suite! Upstairs, the large primary bedroom is complete with an en-suite bathroom, ample space for a King size bed plus extra furniture, and a wall of garden facing windows. The second bedroom has space for a Queen size bed with a wall of windows welcoming in warm southern sunshine. A third room could easily be used as a bedroom, guest room, home office or media room! This entire level gets incredible natural sunshine from two exposures plus skylights. There is a laundry room on this level as well. Each unit is separately metered. Potential annual rent for this unit is $30,000 /yr, significantly offsetting your mortgage payments! 159 Schenectady is located approximately a third of a mile from the 3&4 trains and A&C trains at Utica Avenue. Other than St. John's Park directly across the street, this wonderful home is surrounded by green space including Harmony Park, Fulton Park, and several community gardens.
