A rare garden-level 2BR/2BA in a beautifully maintained brownstone with a massive 950 sqft private backyard, finished basement, in-unit laundry, and your own private entrance.
Enter through your own gate under the stoop into a bright combined living/dining area. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator with ice maker, Whirlpool gas range with vented hood, and a whisper-quiet Bosch dishwasher. In-unit washer and dryer in the finished basement keep laundry completely out of sight.
The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and south-facing window. The second bedroom has a full closet and its own dedicated full hall bathroom ideal for a roommate, guest room, or home office without sharing a bath.
The standout: a private 19' x 50' backyard nearly 1,000 sqft of outdoor space, which is virtually unheard of for a Brooklyn rental. Features include wrap-around garden beds, a built-in mosquito misting system, and child-safe artificial turf with extra padding. Whether you garden, entertain, or have kids, this space changes how you live.
