Description
Located on a gorgeous block in the heart of Greenwood, this 20 foot wide townhouse is a rare find. The parlour floor's living, dining and kitchen area are ideal for entertaining. 10 foot ceilings, exposed beams and an open, skylit...Nathanial Hawthorne's observation, "Sunlight is painting," comes to mind as we tour the sunlit interior of 278 22nd Street. Boasting a renovation inspired by art itself, this remarkable townhome is an expression of peace and tranquility, and is destined to capture your heart.
Located on a gorgeous block in the heart of Greenwood, this 20 foot wide townhouse is a rare find. The parlour floor's living, dining and kitchen area are ideal for entertaining. 10 foot ceilings, exposed beams and an open, skylit staircase create a light and airy feeling. A discreet and convenient powder room is accessible from the well-appointed eat-in kitchen, and the living room exits to a large deck. The parlour floor has one of the home’s two wood burning fireplaces, making this a cozy retreat in cooler months.
The top floor of this extraordinary residence has two expansive bedrooms, each the width of the house, and each with three large windows. Two skylights, 9.5 foot ceilings and a stylishly renovated bathroom accentuate the subtle yet compelling drama of a property that clearly reflects the quiet contemplations of a thoughtful designer.
The garden level features a second wood burning fireplace, exposed wooden beams and a full bathroom with a marble shower and full body sprayers. This level has an additional flexible use room, which could easily function as a bedroom, and exits directly to a 20' x 52' back yard with a garden trellis, red and white Italian grape vines and space for virtually any use. A full cellar with impeccably maintained mechanicals and plenty of storage completes the picture.
With over 2400 square feet of living space, 278 22nd Street is configured as a single family residence, but could easily be reverted to a two family setup to generate rental income, and the ability to significantly expand the structure offers the next owner almost endless potential. Located minutes from the R train and countless shopping, dining and entertainment options, this special property will make your dreams come true.
