Description

Opportunities like this do not come along often. 575A Leonard Street is a meticulously reimagined single-family townhouse in the heart of Greenpoint - a rare, turn-key home that has been transformed by its current owners with a level of taste, intention, and artistry that simply cannot be replicated. This is not a renovation; it is a work of residential art.

Spread across four thoughtfully designed floors, the house offers four large bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, each space more considered than the last.

The interiors strike a perfect balance between warmth and restraint - a palette of creamy limestone, warm oak, honed plaster walls, and natural light that pours through every level. Original pre-war bones have been honored and elevated: original hardwood floors gleam beneath ornate crown molding and beautifully preserved door casings, while a breathtaking sculptural spiral staircase winds through the heart of the home like a piece of fine architecture. A dramatic central skylight crowns the stairwell, flooding the core of the house with cascading natural light throughout the day.

The home’s two full floors of family living are as functional as they are beautiful. On the parlor floor a serene living area flows into a generous dining space and a sleek, design-forward kitchen anchored by a curved marble island, warm wood cabinetry, and a marble backsplash - perfectly suited for both quiet family dinners and spirited entertaining. And on the garden floor the home extends into a beautifully finished lower level with generous ceiling height - ideal as a media room, play area, gym, or recreation space - opening to one of the most enviable features of the property: a fully landscaped private backyard. Lush and serene, the garden is appointed with a built-in barbecue, a grass lawn, and a sandbox - a true urban oasis, and a childhood dream made real.

The bedrooms are sanctuaries - calm, luminous rooms with high ceilings, generous proportions, and linen drapes that filter the light to a golden warmth. One of the upper bedrooms opens directly onto a large private roof deck, offering an elevated outdoor retreat under open sky - the perfect perch for morning coffee or evening gatherings with the Brooklyn roofline as your backdrop.
The bathrooms are a revelation: floor-to-ceiling limestone tile, walk-in rain showers, sculptural stone vessel sinks, brushed bronze hardware, and custom vanities that belong in a five-star boutique hotel. Every detail has been chosen with purpose.

575A Leonard Street is not just a home. It is a lifestyle, a statement, and a once-in-a-generation find on one of Brooklyn’s most coveted blocks.

This magical home sits on a quaint, tree-lined street in NOMAC - the storied pocket where North Williamsburg meets Greenpoint, North of McCarren Park.

Just two blocks away, McCarren Park offers a pool, track, sports courts and fields, and a wonderful greenmarket. Additional outdoor space and recreation await along the revitalized waterfront, while fantastic shopping, dining, and nightlife venues line Manhattan, Bedford and Franklin avenues. Visit one of the chic local hotels for fine dining and extraordinary skyline views, or take in a concert at Warsaw, Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn Steel, or the Williamsburg Hall of Music just minutes from your door.

For those who need to be in Manhattan, the commute is effortless - with multiple subway lines and the East River Ferry nearby, the city is minutes away while feeling a world apart. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
