Apartment 230 C, Unit A is a sprawling 2700 square foot triplex with its own private garden, offering the perfect alternative to townhouse living. (Note - this is not 230A Apt A, which sold in July of 2015.) The apartment is set back from the street with a landscaped front garden. The mudroom entrance offers a well organized space with plenty of storage and a perfect place to hang your coat and park your belongings. Open the door into a spacious living room with a clear view all the way through the kitchen to the back garden. The living room is separated from the kitchen and dining area by a grand center staircase that nicely apportions the two living spaces. Adjoining the kitchen and living room is a full bath. Upon entering the living room one immediately feels a sense of tranquility and warmth. There are windows overlooking the front garden, ebony stained oak floors, a back wall with beautiful stone work and a gracious layout. The center staircase has double height ceilings and is a perfect place to showcase the bigger pieces of your art collection. Just past the stairs you will find the heart of the house - a bright and open eat in kitchen. This well designed space is perfect for cooking and entertaining and has quality appliances like a 6 burner Viking range, Carrera marble countertops, Bosch Dishwasher, ample custom cabinetry and a large center island that nicely divides the chef s work space from the diners. Natural light streams in through the glass doors which lead to the south facing private garden. This is perhaps the home s greatest treasure - a private outdoor sanctuary. The Ipe- decked backyard is sunny and spacious, has built in benches and planters, a water connection, electricity, a waterfall feature, and is a perfect place for grilling, dining, hosting large parties or lounging. Downstairs is another entire floor of living space. The back area is laid out and used as a den and screening room with built in shelves and cabinets, new Samsung washer/dryer and a door leading to the back yard. The front has a gym, another full bath with Jacuzzi tub, multiple storage closets and an entire room under the stoop which has room for a freezer, bike storage, and much, much more. The sleeping quarters are on the top floor. Here the staircase landing and wide hallway connect the three bedrooms. The master has lovely bay windows and a newly built closet. The other two bedrooms are both large and bright. They each have a balcony that overlooks the garden. There is another full bathroom on this floor with rainfall and muti-jet shower. The fabulous neighborhood of Gowanus is wedged between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens. A place where luxury buildings exist among the artisanal workshops and galleries and where the neighborhood attractions are ever growing such as Four and Twenty Blackbirds, Runner and Stone, The Pickle Shack, Mission Dolores, The Pines and a short walk to Whole Foods. It is only two blocks from R, F and G trains. With transfers available at Atlantic, just 2 stops away, commuting to anywhere in New York City is easy. The size, lay out, outdoor space, low monthly charges and location makes this home a must see.
