Enjoy a rare opportunity for open-concept living and a lush south-facing garden surrounded by mature trees, in a renovated pet-friendly brownstone. This unique apartment has a large, private, enclosed garden with extensive planting areas, and a private main entrance on an architecturally spectacular Victorian tree-lined block in prime Stuyvesant Heights. The loft-style 1-bedroom floor-through has a 2-bedroom footprint, ideal for those who appreciate space without walls and long sight-lines for maximum light. Pocket doors lead to a primary bedroom suite with windowed bathroom and walk-in closet. Contemporary design-forward fixtures, dimmers, and light pine hardwood floors throughout, plus an original ornamental fireplace. Building features: shared washer dryer one floor below, silent heating from cast-iron radiators, lead-free, keyless locks, stone counters, gas stove, indoor bike storage, additional closet in entrance hallway.

Garden hardscaping is receiving a contemporary refresh for new occupancy, and keen gardeners will appreciate newly built areas to plant. Pictures show high summer prior examples of yard. By NYC standards it's a quiet work from home location. This is a delightful section of the neighborhood with a mix of low-key liveliness, beautiful architecture, and a community-oriented spirit.
