COME HOME TO THE TWO-GARDEN DUPLEX OF YOUR BROOKLYN DREAMS - This spacious duplex condo on the border of Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy has it all, from gorgeous herringbone hardwood floors to marble bathroom floors, noise-reducing windows, central heating, and air conditioning, and two private outdoor spaces. The massive open-plan lower level boasts the rare features of high ceilings and natural light.

At 1,865 square feet, this ground floor duplex home is the largest condo on the market and offers the best value. It is one of three duplex condos in a four-story building, constructed in 2015 with all modern conveniences. On the ground floor, you enter (at grade) into a large open living room that flows into the kitchen, which features a touch-sensor faucet, 4-burner gas stove with a chrome pot-filler, full sized dishwasher, and a large refrigerator. Past the living room is a full, marble-floored, and porcelain-tiled bathroom with a beautiful vanity. The two bedrooms (with ample custom-built closet space) face the large, decked outdoor space, and receive beautiful light through the south-facing windows.

On the lower level you will find a large, open-plan room (~800 square feet) with washer-dryer, half bathroom, a wall-length wardrobe, and a separate den for a home office. High ceilings enhance the roomy feel with the natural light flowing in from a lightwell that also serves as a second, more intimate outdoor space. This level has its own bathroom. A great space for young families, the block has several lovely playgrounds, is steps away from the Pratt Institute and St Joseph's College and is very close to several good bars and restaurants on Franklin, Bedford, and Grand. It's less than a block from the G train and a short walk to the C train, which makes all lower Manhattan and most of Brooklyn and Queens accessible within a half hour subway ride.

A great investment.
