A home away from home indeed. Garden Level, not to be confused with "basement". Ground floor entry, tall ceilings, hardwood floors (take off your shoes!!!), and the piece de resistance is the PRIVATE back yard.
Back inside we go. The energy in this home is so great that you smile walking in. There's a nook to comfortably remove your shoes and keep the outside germs where they belong. A very comfortable Queen bed in a King size bedroom with an awesome closet that fits the rooms width. The pocket doors were my favorite find in this classic Brownstone. Full size bathroom including a deep soaking tub. And the water pressure on the shower was perfect after a long, short, lazy, hectic day. Fully equipped kitchen with chef's grade knives. The bonus room is great for working out or working (though it is for seasonal use). The Private backyard is fitted with all the necessities. A wrapped bench, table side seating nook, grill, umbrella and plant life.
The Area:
Nothing much to say here. There is a corner store (aka bodega aka deli) just steps from the home. 2 soul food options, T-Roc is my preference, 1 not so great pizza option and a small activity "park". Bonus to the annoying Alternate side parking in NYC... this area has 3 different time zones for moving the vehicles.
