Description

This meticulously renovated single-family home offers five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two powder rooms, combining impressive scale with a layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A gracious parlor-level deck and private garden create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow—ideal for gatherings or quiet moments at home. Entry is through a classic vestibule with a coat closet, followed by a second door opening to the grand parlor level. High ceilings and oversized windows flood the space with natural light, enhancing the elegant, open flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The chef’s kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring Danby countertops, custom cabinetry, and a fully integrated Bosch appliance suite—including a six-burner range, refrigerator, and dishwasher—alongside a Marvel wine cooler. A well-placed powder room completes the level. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and two full bathrooms are thoughtfully arranged on a single floor above the parlor level. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat overlooking the garden, with three sunlit windows, dual closets, and a serene en-suite bath featuring a double vanity and a beautifully designed oversized shower. This level is completed by two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a conveniently located washer/dryer. The garden level is designed for versatility, functioning as a fully equipped two-bedroom guest suite. It features a living area and a kitchenette—complete with a dishwasher and sink. One bedroom includes its own en-suite bath, while a second full bath is located off the hallway. Ideal for extended stays, an au pair, in-laws, or effortless hosting. A second washer/dryer is planned for this level. Below, a finished lower level provides generous additional space for a home office, gym, media room, or playroom, complemented by a powder room and ample storage. Throughout the home, every detail has been carefully considered—from restored millwork and designer lighting to zoned air conditioning, herringbone oak floors, and a built-in sound system. High-end finishes and a thoughtful, cohesive design define the interiors, set within a prime Bed-Stuy location. Living here places you moments from a thoughtfully curated mix of neighborhood dining, including favorites like Trad Room, Laziza, Cichetti, Bada Boom, Olmo, Sonora, and Chez Alex. Nearby parks add green space with courts and playgrounds, while the A/C trains and B26 bus offer seamless access throughout the neighborhood with convenient access to JFK Airport.
