Built in 1889 by noted architect Amzi Hill, this legal two-family townhouse spans approximately 2,583 square feet across three stories plus cellar and offers a rare balance of historic detail, warmth, and contemporary comfort.
Currently configured as an owner’s duplex over a garden-level apartment, the home has been carefully renovated while preserving many of its original architectural elements, including slate fireplace mantels, hardwood flooring, plaster moldings, ceiling medallions, original wood shutters, and elegant bay windows overlooking the tree-lined block.
The parlor level is both inviting and refined, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm focal point within the sun-filled rear living space. The renovated kitchen pairs classic materials with modern functionality, featuring Carrera marble countertops and backsplash, custom wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Large south-facing windows bring beautiful natural light into the home throughout the day, while original details and rustic refinished flooring add warmth and texture throughout. The front parlor, currently configured as a bedroom, offers exceptional flexibility as an additional living, library, or entertaining space.
Upstairs, the top floor features three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room. The expansive primary suite offers excellent proportions, decorative slate mantels, French doors, and an adjoining dressing or sitting area. Additional bedrooms feature charming original details including wood shutters, plaster moldings, and peaceful views overlooking landmarked Bedford-Stuyvesant streetscapes. The skylit bathroom is finished in timeless black-and-white tile with classic subway and penny tile detailing.
The garden-level apartment continues the home’s warm and inviting aesthetic with exposed decorative hearths, original wood flooring, wainscoting, and renovated kitchen and bath spaces. With two bedrooms, garden access, and washer/dryer hookups, the apartment offers excellent flexibility for rental income, guests, or multi-generational living.
Perfectly positioned near Fulton Park and the A/C express trains, 82 Chauncey Street is surrounded by some of Bedford-Stuyvesant’s most beloved neighborhood destinations, including Saraghina, Laziza, Trad Room, Milk & Pull, Nana Ramen, Chez Oscar, and Peaches. Combining historic charm, modern upgrades, and an exceptional location, 82 Chauncey Street offers a quintessential Brooklyn townhouse experience with warmth and character throughout.
