Renovated by an artist to be a Greenpoint oasis for his family, the home reflects an aesthetic in natural materials and open spaces. The primary floor in three terraced levels includes four distinct rooms (living, dining, kitchen, and breakfast room / sun room) each open to the next for a seamless flood of light throughout. The two top floor bedrooms have 10 foot ceilings and are divided for privacy by a common hallway and bathroom. The white-tiled bathroom with skylight is inspired by classic bathhouse design and is full of bright white light as long as the sun shines. The natural coniferous yard is groomed yet rustic. It is accessed through sliding glass doors off the breakfast room/sun room and is surrounded by a wood-slat fence for privacy. The house comes with a washer/dryer, a dishwasher on the main floor and a second full washer and dryer in the lowest level with central air throughout the building.


226A North Henry St. is a half block from Monsignor McGolrick Park with its newly designed playground, P.S. 110 (The Monitor School), weekly farmer's markets, Met Foods supermarket, Little Dokebi, and the greatest community of people in Brooklyn or NYC.

About This Lister

I am an artist and father of a 4-1/2 yr old. My partner is a lawyer and we lived in the house for years prior to moving to another neighborhood in Brooklyn. Ideally we'd like to rent to a family since the house was designed for a family and the neighborhood is ideal for families. : )
