Description

Charming Renovated Brownstone in Prime Bedford-Stuyvesant

Welcome to 259 Clifton Place, a 4-story brownstone set on a quiet, tree-lined street in the highly desirable Bedford-Stuyvesant. This elegant two-family home offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury, featuring a spacious owner's triplex above a charming garden rental apartment. With a stately 17-foot-wide fa ade and an expansive 100-foot-deep lot, this home exudes classic Brooklyn brownstone beauty while providing generous living space.

Spanning over 3,200 square feet, the main residence offers 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and laundry. Upon entering you're welcomed by a sun-filled double parlor with soaring 12-foot-high ceilings. The grandeur of the marble mantels, intricate moldings, and four decorative fireplaces showcase the home's exquisite pre-war craftsmanship. Carefully curated modern upgrades harmoniously complement the timeless character of the space.

The renovated, oversized kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring custom HenryBuilt cabinetry in sleek semi-gloss white with hidden hardware. At the center, a 7-foot island with mahogany accents sets a refined tone. The Wolf stove, white stone composite countertops, and a striking backsplash of black, gray, and white triangular tiles add a contemporary flair. From the kitchen, step out onto a spacious deck overlooking the private garden, where a stunning cherry tree blossoms beautifully in the spring, painting the landscape with vibrant hues of pink and white. This oasis from the city is the perfect space for relaxation or outdoor entertaining.

On the second floor, you'll find the primary bedroom, complete with a decorative fireplace, creating a serene retreat within the home. Attached to the primary suite is a spacious closet. The spa-like bathroom on this floor features stunning Dandelion tile in Lawn/Milk on the floors, paired with a classic white subway tile stacked in a herringbone pattern that extends around the walls. The bathroom is completed with elegant brass light fixtures, a double vanity offering ample storage, and a heated towel rack. Additionally, this floor includes a second bedroom overlooking the garden. The third floor boasts three more bedrooms, a full bathroom, and the convenience of a bonus washer and dryer. Other features of the home include a recently replaced hot water heater and a gas heating system.

Garden Apartment:

This garden-level 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment offers its own private entrance and access to its own tranquil outdoor space. The brand-new kitchen is equipped with full-sized stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, and a decorative fireplace for added charm. Currently tenant- occupied, the garden unit provides an opportunity for rental income or personal use.

Located on the border of Bed-Stuy and Clinton Hill, 259 Clifton Place is ideally situated just one block from the Bedford-Nostrand G train station, offering an easy commute to Manhattan. Surrounded by popular eateries, boutiques, and local amenities, this neighborhood captures the best of Brooklyn living.

Don't miss the opportunity to own this beautifully renovated piece of Brooklyn history that combines luxury and functionality in a prime location.
