With a playroom basement for the kids and a spacious open plan kitchen / diner / living room on the 1st floor, and 2 other floors for bedrooms, there is plenty of space for a family to spread out. The self-contained queensize primary suite on the top floor with its own bathroom, kitchenette and access to the roof garden is perfect for grandparents or parents who want a little private space to themselves. The house is kitted out with lots of cookware and a linen closet packed with Brooklinen and Parachute linens and towels.
Why Kids Love it
There are lots of toys and craft supplies and tons of space for play, especially in the basement which has lots of open space, natural light and a toy closet. The owners have a baby and a ten year old, so the house is equipped for a variety of ages. Children will like the beautiful kids’ room with books and toys and a white bunkbed. There is Sonos, WiFi, Netflix and cable television on the 5 televisions throughout the house. Carroll Park is just over 10 minutes’ walk from the house and has game and picnic tables, a playground, basketball and handball courts and water sprays.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights. Safety notes: there are stair gates through most of the house except going to the 3rd floor. There is a baby bath tub and a Stokee Trip Trapp high chair. The house is fairly close to Hamilton Avenue which means traffic passes frequently, although the home is soundproof with a gate at the front. There is a washer / dryer on the 3rd floor. The house includes amenities such as 3-zone central air conditioning, all new appliances and contemporary bathrooms. A car is not necessary to stay here as public transport and taxis are reliable and plentiful.

Style Notes
Contemporary and airy with a Scandinavian feel. This Brooklyn home is brand new and purchased in 2019. There is pretty wallpaper, light wooden floors and designer furniture throughout. The décor is neutral with warm whites, grays and blacks uniting the house and providing a sophisticated feel. All of the bedrooms have cable TVs with sound bars, and there are 2 more TVs in the basement and living room. The kitchen is filled with natural light and has Thermador appliances and a beverage fridge. We love the luxury sheets and towels, the stunning décor, and the Sonos speakers on the top level and in the living room.
