Property Description
Set on a quiet, tree-lined block just steps from Van Vorst Park, this sun-filled duplex apartment set in a beautiful historic brownstone. With its own private stoop entrance, this rental feels like a home. Up a flight of stairs is the parlor-level living room which sets the tone immediately - a decorative ceiling medallion, arched millwork, and original marble mantle framing a space that feels both grand and lived-in. Rich hardwood floors floors carry into the adjacent dining room, where a bay of windows, a second marble fireplace, and a brass chandelier set an elegant backdrop for entertaining - all leading straight into a crisp white kitchen, with stainless appliances & generous cabinetry that makes everyday cooking a breeze. Also on this floor is your own private rear deck, a true rarity in the city. Upstairs, three bedrooms showcase exposed brick accent walls, wide-plank pine floors, and oversized windows that flood the rooms with light. The newly updated bath feels like a private retreat, with a skylight pouring in natural light, classic subway tile, brushed-gold fixtures, and a marble-topped vanity. An in-unit stacked washer/dryer keeps daily life effortless. Being in Van Vorst gives you the luxury of having a short walk to a multitude of transportation options: Grove street PATH, Citibike stations and Light Rail. Additionally, the neighborhood offers many popular shops and restaurants and lovely parks and public spaces including the jewel of the neighborhood - Van Vorst Park itself.
