Open House Sunday, 1:00-3:30. Elegant, Sophisticated, Modern. Lovingly created by two professional designer/ developers for their own family, every aspect of this gorgeous 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath single family house has been thoughtfully crafted to be luxurious and smart. And the pictures don’t lie: all 4 floors of this house are absolutely gorgeous. For sale by owner. Text 9177533716. 2% (negotiable) to buyer’s agent. The main floor is entirely open, making it perfect for entertaining. The living room, dining room and kitchen are suffused with light from the enormous glass wall/door looking on to the deck and garden. The sunny kitchen is a cook’s dream. The 9 foot long island has bar seating for 3 or 4 with a skylight overhead. There is plenty of counter space to prep your favorite meals, and generous storage space. There is a Fisher and Paykel fridge, Bosch dishwasher and Bertazzoni gas stove. The dining area has a wall of cabinets to keep the clutter at bay. This floor also has a powder room. The second floor has three charming bedrooms, an office and a marble bathroom with a duravit soaking tub. Occupying the entire third floor is the exquisite master suite. This serene and sophisticated space is a true oasis. A huge window at the front of the house looks onto a wonderful old tree. Four additional windows on two other exposures make the room light and airy throughout the day. There is enough room for a full-sized sofa, a comfy reading chair, and a desk. There is a wall of built-in closets. The ensuite bathroom with radiant floor heating and marble and slate tiles is your own mini-spa. Soak in the deep duravit soaking tub and gaze out the windows at the night sky. The fully finished basement, also with radiant floor heating, is perfect as a TV room, playroom or guest room. It has many built-in cabinets to efficiently store and organize your things. While the home is visually stunning, the owner/developer has also spared no expense on the invisible things within the house. No half-measure mechanical updates here: the plumbing, electrical, and central heating and A/C are entirely new, done by highly reputable contractors. The house has been fully insulated to save money and energy. The house also has a new roof, energy-star windows and doors. Thoroughly renovated houses of this quality rarely come on the market. The owner is a boutique developer with an excellent track record of several beautiful homes in Kensington. This is not a fly-by-night developer - he and his family are proud to live in the neighborhood where they work and are not only only neighbors but friends with folks they’ve sold houses to. (They will be moving only a few blocks away.) More details: Floors are rift and quarter-sawn white oak. Abode security system. Ipe deck, Cedar fencing. Nest Thermostats. A few minutes from the Q train (Cortelyou stop). Local restaurants include Wheated, Der Pioneer, The Farm on Adderley, Sycamore, Lea, The Castello Plan, Mimi’s Hummus and Qathra. Prospect Park and the Parade Grounds are a short bike ride away.
