This newly renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details.
This townhouse is a four-story, two-family Brownstone. The house features 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, a large parlor deck, and an expansive backyard garden. From the seven-inch white oak floors to original woodwork, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home.
As you enter the owner's 4 bed 3.5 bath triplex, you are greeted by a beautiful foyer with an oversized half-glass original entry door. Stepping into a parlor floor, you realize the breadth of space as the 10-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the space. The living/dining area features a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen features an island, custom cabinetry, and quartz countertops as well as a farmhouse sink and a full complement of appliances including a Viking refrigerator, Wolf six-burner stove, Blomberg dishwasher, and microwave drawer. This eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream.
Upstairs you find four bedrooms and three full baths. The elegant primary bedroom faces the serene backyard gardens and features three windows and ample closet space. The five-fixture primary bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, a glass-enclosed rain shower, and a deep-soaking tub. Down the hall, is another bedroom and a classic second bathroom. On the third floor, there are two large bedrooms as well as a full bathroom and laundry room equipped with a utility sink.
The private basement can be accessed through an interior staircase and is finished with tile floors. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, media den, or artist studio. The separate garden floor two-bedroom unit can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment.
This masterfully re-imagined townhouse is located in the heart of Bedford Stuyvesant. You are moments away from great dining establishments such as L'Antagoniste, Santa Panza, The Wilky, Saraghina's, and Marcos as well as several local parks that feature playgrounds, basketball courts, and a pool. Nearby public transportation includes the J/M trains or the DeKalb Ave B38, and JFK is a short 20-minute drive. Additionally, the acclaimed Coop School recently opened a few short blocks away, which is quickly becoming a draw to the neighborhood.
