Description
253 East 7th Street was originally constructed in 1910. This fully renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details. This beautiful brick house is a two-family home featuring 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, and a private patio. The extensive attention to detail and the truly spectacular kitchen make this home a must-see!
As you enter the owner’s three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom duplex, you are greeted by an open living room/dining/kitchen layout The oversized windows overlook the back, front, and side yards and allow natural light to come in from three different directions. Stepping into the parlor, you realize the breadth of space as you gaze down to view the monumental kitchen island. In between are two separate seating areas and a full dining room area. To the left, a formal living room area offers an excellent space for entertaining. As you proceed toward the kitchen you pass another smaller sitting area, a powder room, a huge storage closet, and the dining area. The open kitchen features a six-seat oversized island, custom cabinetry, and quartz countertops. With a farmhouse sink and a full complement of Bertazoni appliances including an integrated 36" French door refrigerator, dishwasher, and five-burner stove this kitchen is a chef’s dream.
Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms and three full baths. The elegant primary bedroom faces the back and features three windows, two large closets, and ample room for a dresser or home office area. The primary bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower as well as a fully detached soaking tub. Facing the tree-lined street is the second bedroom, also featuring an en-suite bathroom with a standing shower. In between is the third bedroom with a large window looking out to the backyard. Along the hallway, there is a washer/dryer closet and another marble-tiled bathroom.
The separate garden floor apartment is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit that can serve as an income-producing property or in-law suite. The garden unit features an in-unit washer/dryer.
This masterfully re-imagined home is centrally located. You are moments away from great dining establishments such as Thai Farm Kitchen, Wheated, and Der Pioneer as well as several local parks that feature playgrounds, basketball courts, and tennis courts such as Parade Grounds and beautiful Prospect Park. Nearby public transportation includes the F, G at Fort Hamilton Parkway or Church Avenue.
