This 2 family home is currently configured as a one bedroom rental over owner's duplex. The lovely, light filled, top floor apartment is basically Bedstuy heaven and ready to provide some serious rental income. Shutters, built-ins, gorgeous mantles, cleverly designed kitchen/bath, washer/dryer, walk-in closet with custom Elfa shelving and 2 skylights round out this perfect abode.
The owner’s duplex features a spacious, open parlor level with classic moldings, medallions, huge windows and a half bath. The kitchen and full bath are currently located on the garden level. Move right in or bring your design ideas and modern updates to this space. There’s a bonus room off of the kitchen that leads to a well loved and cultivated backyard garden with pergola. Look forward to rose bushes, honeysuckle, Japanese wisteria, a cherry tree and many other mature botanical delights to greet you in the spring. Both in the back and front outdoor spaces.
Both the plumbing and electrical were updated, roof replaced and brink pointed all by the current owner in 2011 so you can focus on modern updates if you wish.
The neighbors and block association are active, coming together for community projects, spring planting and known to host an epic block party in the summer. Saratoga Park is just a few blocks away and creature comforts are all around. Brunch at Butch & Coco, grab some ice cream at Lady Moo Moo, meet friends at Saraghina, jump on the A/C line at Ralph or Utica and be in Manhattan in 20 minutes, the options are endless. This home is winning on all the good things in Bedford Stuyvesant.
