Spacious Brooklyn townhouse with deck, garden, and basement

Gowanus/South Slope sun-filled, owner-occupied two-family house with plenty of space for cast, crew and equipment! The house has new cedar siding, wood floors, a large wood deck off of the kitchen, and a private garden including bluestone path, koi pond, and rear bricked area for grilling. Flexible space has been used for diverse projects, including fashion shoots, digital ads, and films of various genres. Our goal is to get you what you need and then get out of your way. The master bedroom is an extension under the deck and has handsome Andersen sliding glass doors and screens to the garden. Two other bedrooms are on the ground floor (one front guest room with sofa bed and one dressing room with spare queen bed). Cozy den/office/exercise area on ground floor sits in between the bedroom areas and can serve as a second living room. There is a bathroom on each floor: one modern glass-tile master bathroom with two stainless-steel sinks and large glass-walled shower on ground level and one windowed Southwestern-style bath with jacuzzi tub and small separate shower stall on parlor floor. The parlor floor living room is open to the kitchen with dark wood cabinets and Wolf range (with pot-filler between range and hood). There is also a basement with laundry, storage (including extra chairs for the kitchen and deck), work table, boiler (currently disconnected since we switched to heat pumps), tankless water heaters, and a hatch that opens out to the rear garden. The basement is not counted in the available square footage but can be (and has been) used for filming and equipment as needed. The previous owners (a carpenter and an interior designer) renovated this turn-of-the-century home with an emphasis on light/windows, air circulation (ceiling fans in every room), and details like decorative tin ceilings, reclaimed wood, and exposed brick. It is eclectic, mixing historic and modern touches, with an overall feeling of warmth and connection to the outdoors. The lush, wild garden, positioned at the East end of a row of gardens, gets great afternoon/evening sun and visits from cardinals, bluejays, finches, oven birds, juncos, ruby-crowned kinglets, a woodpecker, and a local hawk. Because there are no windows on the neighboring (South and East) businesses' walls, and no other decks nearby, this space offers unusual privacy and quiet. The neighborhood is well-served by public transit, including G, F and R trains, and has gained popularity for its galleries, bakeries, restaurants, cafés, bars, and shops, as well as the recently renovated Ennis Playground (on the far end of our block).
