IN CONTRACT - Incredible single family Brownstone in the heart of Brooklyn's Stuyvesant Heights Historic District steps from the express A/C train and Fulton Park. This stately 1899 home has been meticulously maintained and can legally be converted back to a 2 family home allowing for incredible flexibility for future owners. Careful consideration was taken to preserve the charming historic details of this 19th Century brownstone and numerous upgrades have been made to the kitchen, bathrooms, hard wood flooring and building mechanicals. The preservation efforts have helped maintained the original ornate mantles on the most of the three decorative fireplaces, solid wood vintage doors, plaster ceiling medallions, detailed window & door frames, baseboard/crown/decorative moldings and wood shutters/wainscoting that give gorgeous character throughout the home. This home has a classic layout with a garden level dining room and kitchen leading out to a large landscaped private backyard. The parlor level has soaring 12' ceilings and over-sized windows flooding the spacious living room and master bedroom with light. The original staircase, exposed brick wall, and skylight leading to the third floor help give this parlor level a dramatic and airy feel. The top floor is bathed in light and the two bedrooms have nearly 10' ceilings. The roof is in excellent condition and the building has approximately 372sqft of unused FAR air rights which could be potentially used to add a set-back addition to the top floor or provide an opportunity to build out into the back garden. Bedford Stuyvesant is a largely residential neighborhood known for its rich history and rows of architecturally stunning brownstones and limestones in the Romanesque Revival, Renaissance Revival and Queen Anne styles. This home is also just steps from the celebrated restaurants, cafes and bars such as Saraghina, Peaches Georges-Andre Vintage Cafe, Bar LunAtico, Khem's Jerk House and many more. Central to a number of playground and parks, including Fulton Park and Herbert Von King Park, one of the first parks built in Brooklyn, designed by Olmstead & Vaux, who also designed Prospect Park. This property is located on picturesque Stuyvesant Avenue, the epitome of Brownstone Brooklyn, and an easy 5 minute commute to the Utica Avenue train station on the A/C lines which run express to Manhattan in just 15 minutes. Convenient to the A, C, J, Z trains, numerous bus lines, and many citi-bike stations. Stuyvesant Avenue is a crown jewel of Stuyvesant Heights. This home is a must see!
