Description

Designed with both grand entertaining and comfortable day-to-day living in mind, this beautifully renovated single-family townhouse offers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two powder rooms across a thoughtfully planned layout. A spacious deck extending from the parlor level overlooks the private garden below, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A traditional vestibule entry leads through a second set of doors into the impressive parlor floor, where a wood-burning fireplace serves as a focal point. Soaring ceilings and oversized windows bathe the interiors in natural light, highlighting the seamless flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen balances elegance and practicality with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and integrated appliances, including a French-door Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, a six-burner Bosch range, a built-in microwave, and a dishwasher. A separate wet bar area with a built-in wine cooler further enhances the space. A discreet powder room completes this level. The upper floor is dedicated to private living quarters, offering three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Overlooking the garden, the tranquil primary suite features three sun-filled windows, ample closet space, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath with a double vanity and an oversized shower with a built-in bench. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, and a conveniently located washer and dryer complete the floor. The garden level has been designed to maximize flexibility and can function as a fully outfitted one-bedroom guest suite. This floor includes a comfortable living area and a kitchenette equipped with a sink, refrigerator, and dishwasher. A full bathroom is conveniently positioned between the bedroom and living area, offering easy access from both spaces and enhancing the versatility of this level. Whether accommodating extended family, an au pair, long-term guests, or serving as additional living space, this floor adapts effortlessly to a variety of needs. The finished lower level offers exceptional bonus space suitable for a home office, fitness studio, media lounge, or playroom. A powder room and substantial storage further enhance the home's functionality. Throughout the residence, meticulous attention to detail is evident in every finish, from restored millwork and designer lighting to herringbone oak flooring, zoned central air conditioning, and a built-in sound system. Adding to the home's thoughtful design is direct roof access via a full staircase—a rare and highly practical feature that creates a seamless transition to the rooftop level. The result is a cohesive home where timeless design meets modern convenience. Ideally situated on one of the most beautiful tree-lined blocks in the heart of Bed-Stuy, the home is moments from beloved neighborhood destinations, including Trad Room, Laziza, Cicchetti, Bada Boom, Olmo, Sonora, and Chez Alex. Nearby parks provide green space, playgrounds, and recreational courts, while the A/C trains and B26 bus offer convenient access throughout Brooklyn and an easy connection to JFK Airport.
