731 Putnam Avenue
Description
A gated forecourt, L-shaped stoop and classic double vestibule welcome you inside the parlor level of the extra-deep 3,768-square-foot owner’s residence. The gracious foyer introduces the home’s painstakingly preserved historic details, including original doors, hardwood floors, wainscoting, soaring ceilings, ornate window and door casings, and the centerpiece staircase. Pocket doors reveal the sprawling 29-foot-long living/dining room, perfect for relaxing and entertaining alongside an ornate pier mirror, designer lighting and south-facing bay windows topped with stained glass. Ahead, a second set of pocket doors opens to the extra-large gourmet kitchen filled with inlaid chevron floors, custom cabinetry, granite countertops and marble tile backsplashes. Chefs will love the suite of upscale appliances, including a vented Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher.
Enjoy casual dining in the eat-in kitchen’s breakfast area, or plan al fresco meals on the enormous deck featuring a gas grill. Below, the fully fenced and decked backyard with integrated lighting and bench seating is the ideal low-maintenance setting for large gatherings, while your secret sauna getaway is tucked beneath the deck. A powder room completes the parlor level.
Head to the second floor to discover the huge primary suite with a decorative fireplace, bay windows, generous custom closet space and a windowed en suite bathroom with a large tub/shower. There’s a secondary suite with lovely built-ins and a private marble bathroom on this level, while the skylit top floor includes two bedrooms, a home office, a full bathroom and a custom walk-in hall closet.
The full-floor garden rental unit features a large living room with a decorative fireplace and a full eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a side-by-side washer-dryer. There are two closets, a separate bedroom with French doors and original pocket shutters, a modern full bathroom, and a mudroom that opens to the covered patio.
A split HVAC system and a huge cellar level with a laundry area and room for storage or a playroom add comfort and convenience to this beautiful move-in ready Brooklyn brownstone.
Located on one of Stuyvesant Heights’ most prized blocks, this home is surrounded by quintessential tree-lined streets and historic brownstones and enjoys easy access to Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Crown Heights. Lovely playgrounds dot the area, and Prospect Park is less than two miles away.
