Description

Welcome home to 65 Jackson St, a truly one of a kind two family townhouse offering an oasis of tranquility right in the vibrant neighborhood of Williamsburg. You can literally hear a pin drop as the neighboring building blocks off the BQE, so do not be fooled by the location on the map - come visit and hear for yourself! The perfect blend of luxury and comfort, this expansive semi-detached townhouse offers 4,059 (above grade) square feet and was meticulously reimagined and rebuilt down to the studs and partial new foundation in 2016, including an additional 3rd floor, modern structural materials, all new mechanical systems with new boilers, water heaters, plumbing, electrical, heating/cooling system and roof - which is complete with self irrigating garden beds and a built out 900+ sf roof deck, and radiant floor heating throughout most of the home. The whole house features water filtration, with the owners kitchen and primary bath using a five-stage reverse osmosis water filter system. Enter apt 1, the owners 2,668 sf lower duplex (+ 1,250 sf of finished and semi finished basement with garden) boasts three sleeping areas with room to add another bedroom on the 2nd floor, 3.5 baths (including 2 toto toilets) and a one of a kind motorized retractable skylight by Solar Innovations that creates a cooling breeze tunnel in the summer when opened with the other windows. This impactful skylight lets in abundant light throughout the home all day long, so no area feels dark unlike a traditional home without this unique feature. Top of the line engineered white oak floors finished with Danish oil and engineered walnut finished with tung oil throughout the home create a warm and inviting feel while optimizing the radiant floor heating system. The open kitchen is a chef's dream, with a vented 6 burner range, large kitchen island, 2 dishwashers, 2 ovens with warming trays, 2 sinks and island seating. You'll be cooking up a storm all while having room to entertain. The dining area (elevated to create another unique feature of the home) minimally seats 8 with room to expand to far larger parties. The custom open shelving was created from the original joists of the home during the renovation, (as well as the beams in the living room) in an effort to blend the original history of the home with a modern lifestyle. Let's not forget the experience that's to be had in the nearly 1,000 sf backyard: the saucer magnolia tree and 2 cherry blossom trees create the backdrop for an unforgettable spring, while the 2 Japanese maples and fuyu persimmon tree (which fruits in the fall!) make the backyard magical throughout most of the year. Before stepping down into the backyard, there is also a covered patio for you to enjoy outdoor dining or morning coffee while being shielded from the elements. Enjoy movie nights in with a wall large enough for a projector in the expansive living room, (as the living room is 25’ wide) or create a more intimate environment with multiple seating areas in this substantial space. Floor to ceiling glass doors and window panes look out onto the beautiful backyard from the warmth of the living room on the ground floor, and function so that you can open the transoms above while keeping the doors closed for optimal airflow. Each bedroom offers ample space and storage, the primary inclusive of a custom and walk-in closet with a luxurious ensuite bathroom, complete with a separate shower with waterfall shower head, soaking tub large enough for 2 people, double vanity and a window overlooking the garden for a spa-like experience. The open 2nd floor landing gives you the possibility for endless types of spaces: office, meditation/yoga area (with a salvaged original beam to mount aerial yoga silks, gymnastic rings, etc.!), create a guest area and more, and houses the washer dryer for this portion of the home. Enter apt 2, currently set up with an income producing ~1,400 sf 2 bed 2 bath (with in unit washer dryer and vented ra Listing courtesy of Compass ...
