Welcome to 215 N Brookside Ave!
Thoughtfully designed with warmth, flexibility, and a sense of modern comfort, this classic mid-century modern home sits nestled on a corner lot, along the edge of lushly landscaped "Stearns Park".
Walking up the slate path leads you to a cottage - like door, amidst the foliage. Upon entry, the renovated foyer sets the tone, immediately blending contemporary style and convenience with vintage touches and a timeless floorplan. Matching coat closets conveniently sit on both sides of formal dining room sliders where smoked glass perfectly complement the wood floor finish. The tranquil dining area enclosed easily transforms into a library, den, office, or living area that captures the serenity of the rear garden area. Adjacent, a huge "sun - drenched" living room with protected wood floors and unique counter concept, leads you to the north side of the property where the primary bedrooms and bath are located.
The master bedroom with dual mirrored closets can accommodate a complete bedroom set or ample space for a "California king". The primary bathroom features white subway tiles, stainless steel shower fixtures, modern blue sink cabinetry, charming wainscot, generous mirror space, and plenty of light.
Just down the hall 2 bedrooms uniquely reimagined, connect with new windows, a custom made walk -in closet, and a "pass through" just waiting for your favorite "barn door" design! In addition to the interior bedroom closets, there's an additional closet complete with storage shelves and motion sensors at the end of the hall.
As you move across to the south side of the home, you encounter a half bath with all of its original mid- century glory including vintage light fixtures and a shelved vanity with working drawers. This touch of nostalgia is perfectly operational and offers a gentle contrast to the home's modern feeling.
An "eat - in" kitchen, outfitted with new windows, custom Brookhaven cabinetry, and distinctive storage systems provide easy access for stored items. An abundance of natural light graces both sides of the kitchen by day while adjustable high hats illuminate with recessed lighting by night.
Next, the finished basement expands the living quarters with a dedicated laundry room equipped with folding area, washer / dryer, custom pantry and additional storage space. But this basement is not just for mechanicals... A "wet bar", guest suite, and fully renovated bath round out the space with Kohler fixtures and smart LED mirror equipped with defogger and clock. New commercial grade flooring covers the entire area with space for a movie lounge, game room, sports den, pool table, and more! Currently used as a separate office with a closet and bonus suite, the basement possibilities are endless, and easy to configure.
Last, but not least -
Above, the spacious 7-foot attic offers exciting potential. With finished plans for a primary suite and an approved permit for renovation and exterior redesign, it's ready for your vision.
Outdoors, enjoy beautifully landscaped gardens, two patios, and a covered porch, for relaxing or entertaining. A one-car garage with an electric door opener, room for three additional cars on this great corner property and in-ground sprinklers complete the picture.
Minutes from Baldwin LIRR train station!
This is a home that truly offers more than meets the eye-don't miss the opportunity to make it yours!
