689 Leonard St #3R

* This one gets it right! Three true bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and not one but two private outdoor spaces—all in a prime Greenpoint location. Two beautifully redone bathrooms, two floors, two private outdoor spaces, in-unit laundry—and a layout that gives you plenty of breathing room. You can have coffee on the balcony off the living room, disappear upstairs when you want some separation, and finish the day on your own roof deck. *

A Duplex with a Great Flow

* The main floor opens into a bright living room with polished hardwood floors, high ceilings, and recessed lighting throughout. One bedroom and a full bathroom are on this level, while upstairs you’ll find two more rooms, the second full bath, and your own dedicated laundry closet with washer and dryer. A particularly nice detail: both floors have their own entrances from the building hallway, and each entrance has its own little vestibule. It makes the two levels feel surprisingly independent while still functioning as one home. *

A Kitchen You’ll Actually Want to Use

* The kitchen has its own defined corner rather than simply being dropped into the living room, but the extended stone counter opens it right back up to the space and gives you room for bar stools. Inside, you’ve got glossy custom white cabinetry, a subtle aqua glass-tile backsplash, and a full Bosch appliance package: chef-style refrigerator, five-burner range, microwave, and dishwasher. It’s compact in the right way—everything is where it should be, with plenty of cabinet and counter space. *

The Details Are Legit

* Both bathrooms were done properly, with floor-to-ceiling marble tile, brand-new sinks and vanities, deep pull-out storage drawers, smart touch-control mirrors with defogging, and premium handheld shower heads. The downstairs bath has a walk-in shower; upstairs you get the full tub. The apartment also has its own boiler with radiator heat and smart thermostat, plus newly installed split-system A/C for summer. In other words, you’re not relying on one generic building-wide setup to stay comfortable. *

And Then There’s the Outdoor Space

* The living room opens directly onto a substantial private balcony—easy enough to use every day for coffee, dinner, plants, or just stepping outside for ten minutes. Then you have an entirely separate private roof deck upstairs. Keep one quiet and make the other your hangout. Morning downstairs, sunset upstairs. You’ll figure it out. *

Right in the Greenpoint Sweet Spot

* Leonard and Calyer puts you on a residential block without isolating you from anything. Manhattan Avenue is right around the corner, with Tørst, Eavesdrop, Rule of Thirds, Five Leaves, Radio Bakery and plenty more within easy walking distance. You’re also well positioned between the Nassau Ave and Greenpoint Ave G stops, with McCarren Park close by for the track, pool, tennis, lawns, and weekend wandering. Head west for Franklin Street and the waterfront; head north and you’ve got easy access toward Long Island City and the 7. For a proper three-bedroom, the combination here is hard to replicate: two floors, two baths, two outdoor spaces, laundry in the apartment, Bosch appliances, and a genuinely excellent Greenpoint location.
