You don’t have to move to the suburbs to have a private backyard pool and solar panels on the roof. This townhouse in everybody’s favorite Brooklyn neighborhood of Greenpoint has those perks, plus a two-unit setup that allows for rental income in addition to living–and swimming–space. Asking $2,745,000, the 2,500-square-foot house at 214 Eagle Street has been renovated and well-maintained, with attractive additions and convenient advantages on all three floors.
The four-bedroom home takes advantage of the aforementioned solar panels as well as a mini-split HVAC system to curb energy costs, with European-style radiators adding extra warmth in winter. New double-glazed soundproof windows bring light in and keep noise out.
Enter the upper unit through a bright, open foyer that leads to the living and dining room. A stylish kitchen is minimalist and capable, with plenty of storage space.
In the rear, sliding doors open onto a private patio ready for outdoor dining. Below, the back yard makes good use of a sunny southern exposure with the surprise of a cleverly-positioned above-ground swimming pool.
Upstairs are three bedrooms with lots of closet space, arranged around a family room/play area that could be used as an additional bedroom. Serving the bedrooms is a renovated bathroom with radiant heated floors.
On the lowest level is a separate garden flat with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. Off the kitchen is a laundry nook with a full-sized washer and dryer. Pretty, park-filled Greenpoint, with its vibrant waterfront scene, is just outside the door, with both Manhattan and Queens a quick subway ride away.
