About this House

288 Powers is a 25 foot wide charming townhouse with beautiful vintage details and many modern upgrades.  The enormous garden, spanning over 1400 square feet, is a remnant of a bygone era in Brooklyn. There are fruiting pear and cherry trees; raspberry and fig bushes; many specimen plants and a koi pond.

The first floor living room has tall - 9 foot 3 inch - ceilings with original tin.  The kitchen features a Boffi marble top counter, GE gas cooktop, Jennair dishwasher, a double stainless steel sink and a huge 'french door' LG fridge with an icemaker. 

Morning sun floods into the first floor bathroom which has radiant heated floors and a book-matched carrera marble shower.  The 3 season patio off the kitchen, with 2 sinks and a beverage fridge, is perfect for dinner or dance parties or any kind of entertaining.  It also serves a fantastic yoga studio during the warm months.  

The sun filled 2nd floor also has 9 foot original tin ceilings throughout and 4 rooms that can be configured with many options for bedroom, office or additional living space.   There is also an open floor plan full basement with a washer and dryer and slop sink.  It is great space for additional storage, a workshop, a gym or an additional recreation/media area.

The massive garden is a true delight with several sitting and entertaining areas.  The plantings were designed so there would always be something flowering or fruiting at a different time in Spring, Summer or Fall.  Azaleas, Crocuses, Begonia and 'Bleeding Hearts' bloom in May; Cherries come in June; the Crepe Myrtle, Hydrangeas, Hostas, and Astilbe flower in summer alongside fresh raspberries.  In the Fall, the massive pear tree bears fruit and the Sweet Autumn Clematis blooms through the end of October.  All the photos of the flowers and fruit on this listing are photos taken at 288 Powers Street.  

If you are looking for a truly unique Brooklyn living experience, come see the 25 foot wide country townhouse at 288 Powers Street.  There is simply nothing like it on the market.  This is a beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, tailor-made for entertaining or for nature lovers.   

288 Powers is steps away from the L train Grand Street stop on an extremely quiet tree-lined street with two Community Gardens.   Come live in a quiet and tranquil garden environment with easy access to Cooper Park and all the restaurant, nightlife and cultural choices in Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick.
