About the Property

Welcome to 146 1/2 Java Street – your dream home on a dream block in the most highly coveted part of Greenpoint.

This stunning 20' wide, five-story townhouse, set up as a two-family but currently used as a single-family, has been tastefully renovated while maintaining many of the original details from its construction in 1890.

With four bedrooms, two large windowed home offices, and a beautifully finished basement, the distribution of space is yours to determine. The original hardwood floors have been sanded and bleached throughout to reflect a rich light-wood tone, and every room features a brand-new HVAC system controlled per floor. Three full bathrooms round out the home’s functionality.

Step into the parlor floor through the main double door vestibule, and you are greeted by dramatic 11' high ceilings, a large living room, and a renovated kitchen equipped with a custom Italian ILVE stove, Fisher Paykel refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Ruvati sink with modern gold hardware and fixtures. The kitchen provides direct access to a brand-new deck leading to an oversized garden.

Walk up one flight to find a large, windowed laundry room with a side-by-side GE washer/dryer, two large bedrooms, and an adjacent room that can be used in a multitude of ways. Each of these bedrooms has two large windows with open views and either a bright southern exposure or a beautiful northern tree-lined view.

The top floor clears the surrounding buildings for unobstructed views from all rooms. The southern-facing spacious master bedroom provides warm, ambient light throughout the day, has an abundance of built-in shelves and drawers, and an en-suite bathroom that connects to another large bedroom currently set up as a home office. Adjacent to the office, you will find an additional room that is currently being used as a nursery and features a full wall of closets and an attached sliding ladder.

A stepladder leads to the rooftop, which offers 360-degree views of Manhattan and Brooklyn cityscapes – the ideal place to watch a sunset or fireworks. There is room to add a staircase on the top floor leading to the roof if you so choose. This already amenity-rich townhouse has the added benefit of 700 square feet of FAR remaining to suit your future needs, either on the roof or in the yard.

The bottom duplex can be used as a separate rental/income property as it has its own entrance on the street level. It is bolstered by a large mudroom/entryway and features a large living room, open kitchen, full bathroom, and direct access to the garden. Walk one flight down to the fully renovated rec room. With 8' ceilings, open space, and a brand-new combo washer/dryer, it has a multitude of potential uses.

The 20x48 south garden has been landscaped to perfection. The newly added deck offers two levels of outdoor space, and the beautiful, recently installed cedar fence adds a much sought-after element of privacy. Additionally, there are five fireplaces throughout the home, one of which is wood-burning and functional while the others can be put back to use.

The location, in the charming neighborhood of Greenpoint, is unbeatable. You are 1.5 blocks from the G train, 3 blocks from the ferry, and situated on a gorgeous tree-lined block between Franklin Street and Manhattan Avenue, both brimming with convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars, shops, and more.

My Strategy & Approach

The sellers of 15970 SW 72nd Ter were preparing for an out-of-state relocation and wanted a quick but profitable sale. We partnered with a local stager to elevate the home’s presentation, used twilight photography for maximum visual impact, and launched a targeted marketing campaign across Zillow, Instagram, and Google.

"Tami Earnest is an absolutely amazing realtor, I can’t speak more highly about her. It was my first time purchasing a condo in Brooklyn, NYC and she walked me through everything. She listens and understands your needs and is not the least bit pushy. On top of everything, she’s a wonderful person to be around. I highly recommend working with Tami if you’re in the market for a new home!"
"Tami took the lead and immediately demonstrated her willingness to work with us on an extraordinarily aggressive timeframe to get to list and jumped headfirst into finalizing the remaining issues that needed to get done to get our New Rochelle house on the market. Unequivocally, Tami was integral in getting us quickly to list, contract over ask, and ultimately to close. Tami’s fortitude, transparency, calm demeanor, exceptional EQ, willingness to roll up her sleeves, and her understated tenacity was the driving force needed to get the sale of my home across the finish line."
"Tami Earnest has been an incredible realtor for us whether it be renting our Manhattan places or selling and buying anywhere in NYC. She always has the facts straight, solutions for everything including voluntarily staging an apartment that would not sell. She is all in, makes many personal sacrifices and always available. A friend referred her to me as excellent and that has been my experience over and over again."
"Tami Earnest is a fabulous realtor to work with in Westchester. She cares about all of her clients and was extremely diligent and detail oriented throughout the sale of our New Rochelle home. She secured a well above asking offer on our home in one day. We could not have asked for a better experience. Tami knows what she’s doing and knows the markets in our area. Anyone would be lucky to work with her as their realtor."
"Tami is exactly what you want in a broker—thoughtful, caring, non-pushy, and simply gets the job done. Hire her without hesitation! After initially falling into the trap of a 'flashy' broker, our Greenwich Village apartment sat on the market for months, with the big name broker nowhere to be seen (showings done by super junior staff). Then, Tami came to the rescue! She listened attentively to what we believed were the key selling points of our property and crafted a strategic plan that resonated with potential buyers. Her dedication and expertise led to a successful deal within just a few weeks. Tami’s professionalism and genuine approach makes all the difference. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and effective broker."
