In a late 1980s addition to a 19th century carriage house, this two-bedroom duplex has an open-plan double-height living area as well as an office and nicely landscaped private backyard. Located at 95 Wyckoff Street in Boerum Hill, the unit has a modern feel with white walls softened by expanses of wood.

The entrance is on the mezzanine level, where an office with window seat overlooks the main living space below. The garden-level area has an open kitchen with wood accents, living room and dining area with sliding doors leading outside.

Tucked away under the full-size stairs are storage and laundry and, behind the kitchen, a powder room. The apartment has mini split cooling. Heat and hot water are controlled via Nest.

On the top level, two bedrooms that share a full bathroom overlook the backyard. The outdoor space holds two wooden decks, an expanse of gravel and plants in irrigated containers.

The building, whose 19th century Romanesque Revival origins can be discerned in an early 20th century tax photo, has 12 units and opened in 1990, the certificate of occupancy shows. The revamped carriage house and addition has some postmodern style with a triangle-topped facade with cutout on the street leading to the rear addition with two pointy oriels.

The monthly maintenance is $1,433. Listed by Marc Karavasian of Compass, the duplex is asking $1.5 million. Worth it?
