580 Driggs Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Expansive, one of a kind townhouse in the heart of Northside Williamsburg. This custom artist's home was designed to allow for breath, light, and creativity! It offers an airy open layout and plenty of room to spread out, work from home, or relax on the roof deck or in the garden. This is an ideal sanctuary- close to everything that makes Williamsburg such an incredible place to live- a block from Whole Foods, close to the waterfront ferry, and only 2 blocks to the newly revamped Bedford L train with new elevator access. It's suburban living in the city- without the big tax bill, or density of Manhattan. Enter on the garden level to an open living and dining space (with half bath), then head back to the eat-in kitchen and out to the lovely garden. On the second floor you'll find a large studio space with over 13' ceilings (also makes a great 4th bedroom) and another bedroom facing the garden, as well as a large shared bath with wet room and deep soaking tub. The top floor has another two bedrooms- the front room again with nearly double height ceilings, as well as a private balcony. The rear bedroom is also spacious and there is a second shared bath with an oversized skylight and claw foot tub. From there keep going.... to the lovely roof deck complete with bar sink and fridge at the entry, and a custom made trellis. Fully renovated in 2009, the current owners updated all the mechanical systems of the house including all electrical, gas, plumbing, boiler, and installed energy effecient zoned heating with a separate zone for each floor and separate ACs for each room. The kitchen was upgraded again in 2018 with a Bertazonni range and Miele Dishwasher (still under warranty!). There is a washer and dryer on the second level and new NEST thermostats installed this year for each heating zone. The facade was just redone in 2016 with Hardi Plank siding which is incredibly durable and never requires painting. This home also benefits from incredibly low taxes of only $4700 per year.
