This two-family Crown Heights townhouse at 742 Lincoln Place is a great opportunity for rental income in the form of a garden apartment, with a spacious duplex above–or for creating a three-floor home. Beyond living space and perks like a full basement and a backyard, the 20-foot-wide property, developed and designed by Bolt Equities and asking $2,995,000, is a showcase of dazzling interior design, with modern fixtures and comforts galore.
Up the front stoop, the upper duplex begins with a marble foyer leading to an open, sunny parlor floor. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, this bright living space is framed by wide-plank oak flooring done in a herringbone pattern, original molding, and built-in shelves.
At the back of the house, a dramatic Calacatta Viola marble-accented kitchen has clean white cabinetry and a large dining and prep island. Appliances include a Wolf range, an integrated Fisher Paykel refrigerator and dishwasher, a microwave drawer, and a wine fridge; a convenient bar area offers a second sink.
Double doors of glass open onto a deck that leads to the back yard below. An equally dramatic powder room completes the parlor floor.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom’s original details are enhanced by walls done in Farrow and Ball Sulking Room Pink. In the primary bath, statement marble and hunter green zellige tiles add zing.
This well-designed floor also offers two linen closets, a washer/dryer closet, and a second bathroom. For stargazing and neighborhood views, the roof is accessible by a stairway from this floor.
On the home’s lower floors, a separate garden apartment offers two bedrooms, two baths, and direct access to the backyard. The finished cellar, accessible from the upper duplex, has a half-bath and space to create a rec room, home office or gym. The private back yard is a blank slate, awaiting your landscaping and gardening visions.
