212 Franklin Street is a 1931 pre-war cooperative in Greenpoint, rebuilt in 2014 as a 25 foot wide mixed use townhouse with a brick façade and metal framing. The three story property contains two residential apartments above a ground floor store, combining the proportions of a traditional townhouse with a more recent interior and structural overhaul.
The residential layout consists of a full floor two bedroom apartment with private outdoor space and a larger duplex penthouse with a rooftop terrace oriented toward Manhattan. The duplex places its main living area below the bedrooms and includes more than 300 square feet of roof space, making the upper residence the building's most distinctive spatial arrangement. Both apartments have private outdoor space.
Residential interiors share wide plank white oak flooring, oversized double paned windows, in-unit washer/dryers, and split system central air. Kitchens are windowed and equipped with stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops, glass backsplashes, and lacquer cabinetry, while the bathrooms use marble finishes and soaking tubs. The penthouse terrace has sweeping skyline views, while the lower apartment opens to an approximately 115 square foot terrace or balcony.
The property is on Franklin Street, close to the shops, restaurants, and services along Manhattan Avenue. The Greenpoint Avenue station, served by the G train, is about five blocks away, and the East River Ferry stop on India Street is two blocks from the building.
