Built in 1910, this five-bedroom Brooklyn townhouse at 946 East 15th Street has old-school charm and colorful, livable interiors thanks to a considered renovation. Behind an understated slate-gray exterior, original Victorian-era details remain. Turn-key townhouse living is made easy by a wide front porch, rear deck, back garden, and flexible bonus space in the top floor and cellar. Asking $1,395,000, the 2,592-square-foot home sits on a residential Midwood street just a few blocks from the subway.
The home has been re-imagined throughout with a creative eye and understanding of 21st-century living. The parlor floor is a showcase of this combination, fronted by large bay window, and framed by original inlaid wood flooring and exposed brick and beams.
A colorful kitchen offers plenty of prep and storage space framed by clean, white-painted beams and brick walls. Off the kitchen is an open dining area. An infusion of modern luxury takes the form of wood accordion doors that open onto a hardwood deck overlooking the verdant backyard.
On the second floor, painted wood floors and stained glass windows add color to three large bedrooms. On the top floor is a charming space under the eaves, offering two flexible windowed rooms with treetop views.
On the lowest level, a semi-finished cellar offers a washer/dryer, storage space, and extra room for an office or studio.
A welcoming front porch is a rare city perk, perfect for watching the world go by. The generously sized deck and private, fenced backyard offer plenty of space for entertaining, gardening, and outdoor living.
