Meticulously restored and reimagined by Shapeless Studio, this late-19th-century townhouse awaits in the heart of Bushwick. With thoughtful design throughout, the interiors take their cue from the home's original green and pink slate fireplace mantel, inspiring a jewel-toned palette of deep greens, dusty pinks, and cool grays woven throughout.
Measuring 19.25 feet wide by 50 feet deep, the home spans approximately 2,888 square feet on a 100-foot-deep lot, with east and west exposures bringing natural light throughout the day. Original Victorian details, including door casings, period hardware, ornate fireplaces, heart pine floors, and carved millwork, have been carefully preserved and complemented by considered modern updates.
The parlor floor opens to a sunlit living room anchored by an impressive 7.6-foot-tall, 6-foot-wide arched front window, followed by a separate sitting room, formal dining room, and windowed kitchen. Designed with both character and function in mind, the kitchen features soapstone countertops with a seamlessly integrated soapstone sink, custom cabi
netry, stainless steel appliances, a vented range hood incorporated into open shelving, an open pantry, and a Daltile mini subway tile backsplash. Upstairs are three bedrooms, one currently configured as an expansive walk-in closet, along with a generous interior room offering the potential for an additional bedroom with the addition of a skylight.
The windowed primary bath is a serene retreat with a deep six-foot soaking tub overlooking the garden, glossy white Daltile, cement tile floors, a substantial vanity with an integrated sink, and custom brass hardware. The garden level offers exceptional flexibility as a self-contained two-bedroom, one-bath residence with a private entrance.
A full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops opens to an eat-in dining area and spacious living room, where an original hutch and built-in desk preserve another layer of the home's history. The bathroom includes a tub and shower with Daltile finishes.
Beyond, the approximately 50-foot-deep rear garden has been hardscaped for effortless outdoor living and is shaded by a mature hemlock tree. A full unfinished basement provides substantial additional space for storage and a workshop. Throughout the home, an extensive restoration honors its original craftsmanship while introducing modern comfort.
Improvements include new plumbing and electrical systems, Mitsubishi split systems throughout, new Pella windows with integrated screens, restored wood trim and plaster crown moldings, Eastlake-style door and window frames, a lavishly carved staircase, three ornate original slate decorative fireplaces, a carved wood marquetry fireplace, and refinished heart pine floors.
The home has been freshly painted, the rear facade completely refinished, and the front stairs and stoop restored. Just two blocks from the J and Z trains at Chauncey Street and close to the L train at Wilson Avenue, 100 Moffat Street offers a distinctive combination of historic Brooklyn character, expressive design, generous space, and convenient access.
Currently configured and used as a single-family residence, the property is a legal two-family home, offering the flexibility to be used as either a single-family or two-family residence.
