Welcome to classic brownstone living on a peaceful, tree-lined block in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights.

Originally built in 1901, this highly functional, restored home is looking for it's next owner. This 20 foot wide brownstone has all the beautiful Brooklyn charm you've been waiting for. Expertly restored, this home retains so many original details including crown moldings, ceiling medallions, pocket doors, gorgeous Slate stone mantels and original hardwood floors...truly coveted features that are increasingly hard to find.
The parlor level owner's duplex greets you through original doubled glass panelled doors into a foyer with custom-built mudroom . Walk through grandiose and restored archways into the front salon with soaring 12 foot ceilings with south-facing bay windows decorated with the original wood paneled shutters that still exist throughout. Through pocket doors you will find a formal dining room for all your dinner hosting dreams with an open-concept kitchen, making the room flow naturally and (most important) functionally. The windowed kitchen features full sized stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and freshly painted maple shaker cabinets. There is a wood deck outfitted with a custom gas-line grill. And you can exercise your green-thumb to make your dream summer oasis with 60 feet of yard space featuring a variety of trees and mature plantings.
On the second level there are four rooms, two king-sized bedrooms, two office-sized bedrooms that can be used as a kids room and a den. The two large bedrooms are Jack and Jilled by a subway tiled bathroom with a soaking tub & skylight and each have deep walk-in closets with Elfa systems.
There are through-the-wall split AC units installed throughout as well as a stacked LG washer/dryer. A Nest thermostat system controls the forced air heat sourced through the floor and in each mantel.The house is also wired with a Simply Safe alarm system.
The garden level is a one bedroom, income producing unit, with renovated kitchen and bath, including a dishwasher and stacked washer dryer. Tenants are in place until the end of March 2022.
A plethora of great dining options surround you such as L'Antagoniste, Saraghina, Chez Oskar, Lunatico, Trad Room, The Willy, and Peaches, to name a few. There is a grocery store around the corner as well as several parks with playgrounds and a children's daycare on the corner of Malcolm X and Putnam. The J and A/C trains are nearby as well as the B46 and B15 bus lines.
