About This Home

As of May 2025

Tucked away on a peaceful street in Brooklyn, this warm and welcoming 3 bed, 2 bath home feels like a hidden retreat. Step inside to vaulted ceilings and a light-filled living space with thoughtful updates throughout. Built in 1997 and lovingly maintained, it offers a full basement for storage, hobbies, or future living space. Out back, the deck is perfect for morning coffee or evening wine, overlooking a quiet stretch of woods that gives you natural privacy. All this, just minutes from downtown's charming shops, great dining, and live music.
