141 St Felix St, New York City, NY 11217

Description

With an incredible Fort Greene location, a sprawling and truly unique lower triplex, plus a high-income-producing one-bedroom rental on the top floor, 141 St. Felix Street offers an unusual combination of space, flexibility and income potential.

Up the quintessential brownstone stoop and through the charming red door, you'll enter the parlor level of the triplex. Measuring 20 feet wide and 48 feet deep, with soaring 11-foot ceilings, the parlor floor's open plan is accented with crisp architectural elements that clearly define each space, from the sitting room to the dining room to the kitchen, while still maintaining a continuous flow and illuminated brightly by the two story atrium in the rear.

The focal point of the spacious living room is a working wood-burning fireplace with a lovely tile surround and exposed white brick. Oversized west-facing windows, complete with pocket shutters, bring in beautiful afternoon light. The living room flows easily into the generous dining area, with plenty of room for large dinners, family gatherings and holidays around the table. A powder room is discreetly tucked between two closets nearby. Beyond, the kitchen is thoughtfully laid out with a center island that defines the space while maintaining an easy connection to the dining area. Stainless-steel appliances, abundant oak cabinetry and ample counter space make the kitchen both attractive and functional, while a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the garden is the perfect spot for morning coffee.

One of the home's most distinctive features is the dramatic two-story atrium at the rear of the house. Framing the staircase between the parlor and garden levels, this soaring wall of glass brings tremendous light into the center of the home and creates a wonderful visual connection between the two floors and the garden beyond.

The garden level is equally expansive, with an open layout offering tremendous flexibility. There is room for a home office, TV room, library, playroom, guest space, home gym-or some combination of them all. Built-in bookshelves create a natural library or reading area next to another cozy woodburning fireplace, while a private entrance makes the floor even more versatile. There is also a separate laundry room with a utility sink and a beautifully renovated full bath with a large vanity, walk-in shower and clean, modern finishes.

The third floor of the triplex is home to three bedrooms and another full bath. Spanning the width of the house, the spacious primary bedroom features a third working wood-burning fireplace and a large walk-in closet. The renovated bathroom has a double vanity, a large walk-in shower, hexagon floor tile and beautiful blue subway tile. Both rear bedrooms overlook the leafy garden below.

Fully fenced and wonderfully private, the garden features a brick patio surrounded by mature trees and established landscaping. Shaded yet still bright, it's a peaceful outdoor retreat with plenty of room for dining, entertaining, gardening or simply escaping the city.

The top-floor one-bedroom apartment is every bit as appealing as the rest of the house, with its own working wood-burning fireplace, spacious living room and bedroom, and a private deck overlooking the garden. Currently configured as a separate, high-income-producing rental, it offers meaningful additional income. Prefer to use the entire townhouse as a single-family home? The connecting staircase remains in place, making a future conversion relatively straightforward.

141 St. Felix Street has been lovingly restored, renovated and cared for by the same family for more than 40 years. And the location is exceptional. Set in the heart of Fort Greene, virtually at the meeting point of Fort Greene, Boerum Hill and Park Slope, the house is less than a block from numerous subway lines and moments from Atlantic Terminal, Barclays Center and BAM, with Whole Foods Market just a couple of blocks away. Some of Brooklyn's best dining, shopping, culture and transportation are right outside your door.
A truly special house, with an exceptionally flexible layout, wonderful outdoor space and a location that's hard to beat.
