Our pick this week for “Under A Million” is a no-frills yet promising 17-foot-wide townhouse in Mott Haven that’s priced to sell. After a $200K price drop in December, this recently renovated brownstone is now firmly under a million at $998,000 and definitely worth a closer look.
While it may not boast the intricate prewar details of more opulent brownstones, this property offers something just as valuable: space and potential. With 3,000 square feet of versatile living area, the home features 4 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths spread across three floors.
The property is thoughtfully configured as a duplex over a Garden rental unit, offering potential income opportunities. Years of renovation and configuration has stripped this home of its original Colonial details but you can tell a lot went into reimaging this once derelict property as a bright and airy family home.
Step through the iconic brownstone double entry doors with decorative molding, and you’re greeted by a cozy living room and closet. Your attention is immediately drawn to the exposed brick wall that stretches the entire length of the home. This timeless feature adds warmth, character, and a touch of industrial chic, setting the tone for what this stunning brownstone has to offer.
The open-plan first floor, seamlessly, flows from the dining area to the kitchen at the rear, where a sleek bank of gray shaker cabinets spans one wall. The kitchen exudes modern feel, enhanced by the thoughtful addition of a parallel island. Complete with sink and dishwasher, the island is complemented by stylish pendant lighting, hardwood floors, crisp white baseboards, and recessed lights tying the entire space together beautifully. This layout maximizes functionality and also fosters a sense of family and togetherness.
At the far end, elongated windows flood the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Off to the kitchen, a set of rebuilt stairs that lead to the second floor.
Upstairs, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed layout featuring the primary bedroom with a spacious double closet, along with two additional bedrooms. The primary bedroom comes complete with an en-suite bathroom, a modern sanctuary clad in sleek black tiles that extend from the sink to the shower walls, creating a bold and contemporary vibe.
Convenience is key, and this home doesn’t disappoint—a newly added laundry room on this level ensures that daily chores are a breeze.
One of the standout perks of this property is the backyard, a versatile space perfect for outdoor gatherings, gardening, or simply relaxing after a long day. It’s your private slice of the outdoors, right in the heart of the city.
The listing also teases the inclusion of a rooftop deck, though, curiously, no photos are provided. Whether it’s an opportunity to create your own rooftop oasis or a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, it adds yet another layer of potential to this home.
