This Brooklyn apartment puts you five minutes from the nearest subway stop, whisking you into Manhatten in less than fifteen minutes. There’s plenty to explore on your doorstep too. The red-brick buildings of Greenpoint attract an artsy crowd and you’ll find leafy streets filled with trendy cafés and bars, and one of the best views of the Manhatten skyline can be seen from the riverside. Housed in a traditional townhouse building, this top-floor apartment is perfect for families. The kitchen is particularly roomy for an NYC pad, with funky Portuguese floor tiles and an island proving lots of room to cook. The L-shaped sofa can fit the whole family around the Smart TV, and a nook-like room off the master bedroom can be used as a playroom (toys provided) or workspace if you’re mixing business with pleasure. The decor is everything you’d expect from a Brooklyn apartment with hardwood floors and sash windows, but the additional pops of turquoise, yellow and sky blue add a playful element.
