There’s something wonderfully unexpected about this brick one-family home, where original character, generous rooms, and terrific outdoor spaces come together in a way that feels both gracious and completely livable. Exposed brick, antique mantles and newel posts, wide-plank flooring, and beautifully detailed staircases give the home a sense of history, while the layout offers plenty of room to live, work, entertain, and spread out. The ground floor offers a bedroom, full bath, a versatile den/rec room with exposed brick & full-sized laundry, and direct access to the private yard - an ideal extension of the living space for relaxing, gardening, dining outdoors... or just letting the day unfold. Upstairs, the very large eat-in kitchen is a true centerpiece. There is ample room to create a spacious dining area where friends can gather around the table while you cook, making this a kitchen designed as much for entertaining as it is for everyday life. The living room - with custom built-ins - and powder room complete the main floor. The third floor has two bedrooms and a full bath, with a spiral staircase leading to a charming landing and then out to the rooftop terrace, where Manhattan becomes the backdrop. Add a full basement for storage, and you have a home with an unusually generous amount of space - both inside and out - along with the architectural details that give an classic brick house its character.
