Gowanus: Luxurious Modern Three-Family Home
This cutting-edge three family townhouse currently configured as a sophisticated owner's duplex plus two high-end two-bedroom floor throughs. Clean lines and state of the art modern finishes make this home a perfect place to live, work, and entertain.
The lower duplex offers a contemporary living/dining room, two exquisite full baths (one en-suite), a main bedroom with built-in closets and storage, and a wonderful chef's kitchen. Downstairs is a spacious rec room/entertaining space and two multi-purpose rooms perfect for an in-home office, closets, guest room, and storage.
The kitchen has stainless appliances, including a 6-burner gas range with a pot-filler faucet, an extra deep farmhouse sink, dishwasher, microwave and large French-door refrigerator. White cabinets and Silastone counters complete this terrific kitchen. The bathrooms are equally stunning with a deep soaking tub, spacious shower, double sinks, dramatic tiles, and dual-flush toilets.
The duplex apartment has all the modern amenities: exposed brick walls, pre-wired and mounts for TVs, built-in Bluetooth sound system, instant hot water system, central air, video doorbell, full-size washer/dryer in unit, hardwood floors throughout. Inside the building is pin-drop quiet and outside is a beautiful two-level backyard for quiet repose or entertaining.
For the price of some of the neighborhood's condos, savvy buyers can own this home and have help paying the mortgage from the two chic rentals. Both two-bedroom rental units have state-of-the-art kitchens and exquisite bathrooms. The apartments have exposed brick walls, central air, stainless appliances including dishwasher and microwave, washer/dryer hookup, and hardwood floors.
Gowanus, known for its artist workshops, restaurants and innovative entrepreneurs mixed with small industries, has the feel of gritty old New York brought into the 21st century. This townhouse is located on a block with Lucey's Lounge, Table 87, Rebecca Shepherd Floral Design, and Gowanus Wine Merchants and near other Third Avenue landmarks such as Hazel Village, Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Shop, Fletcher's Barbecue, Michael & Pings, Bar Tano, and Surefish and just one block from the F, G, and R trains.
Due to COVID, only one group is permitted in the building at a time. Contact Gigi for your time slot and wear a mask!

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI used to be a student at this shook and I hated it. The teachers were mostly bad and some were really nice. The students around me were so rude and harmful. They would always bully and hurt other students around me and others. The new principal, Mr. Chan or chen is bad, I have realized myself that he only cares about the school reputation and not the students. When another student attacked me I had to run home because of how scared i was. Two students that I thought were my friends followed me half way and kicked me before running off back to school so they wouldn’t get caught…when I ran home to my mom she was furious and had to call my dad to get out of work to come with me back to the school to help me. One of my closest best friends who tried to help me, their mom came along too with her grandma to support and help me. I was in pain. When we arrived back to the school with my parents and them, the principal was “too busy” and “ was in a meeting” ! Who does that ! And he is a principal! I was halfway through seventh grade and had to experience this….i got transferred to a much better school! Ms447!! It is much cleaner with better teachers and students!!!! I graduated with my now even most closest friends…I have never felt so happy! ( I don’t recommend this school ) P.S I was a student…Other Review9mo ago - Ps 124 Silas B Dutcher

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two kids in the school this year and we absolutely adore it. It is not our zoned school and I am so glad we chose 124. It is a small school, which makes it feel like family. All the staff know my kids’ names and how to best engage them in learning. There is strong social-emotional support including free counseling through the CBO partner, Counseling in Schools. There is also low-cost extended care 3K-4K and free after school for K-5 through a partnership with YMCA. My children feel both challenged academically and safe in the school. There are many enrichment programs available as well including a full time art and music teacher as well dedicated science, social studies, and theater teachers; and external programs such as dance, improv, swimming, coding and Lego robotics, among others. Over the last two years, the school has shifted to incorporate more project- and play-based learning, recognizing that these are children and learning can take many forms, including how you interact with peers to strategize and solve math problems or read & write a story together.Of course every school has challenges, but it’s important to note that leadership is open to feedback and willing to work with individuals and families to best support them. The parent community is highly engaged, prioritizing family events over high priced galas and auctions. We love the diversity of the school — cultural, language, socioeconomic — as it reflects the broader NYC and global community. This is not something that can be said for other neighborhood schools. Highly encourage folks to check out the website (ps124brooklyn.org) or stop by for a tour.Parent Review7mo ago - Park Slope Collegiate
