As you enter into the upper three-bedroom duplex, a long foyer with an oversized half-glass original entry door welcomes you. The expansive 42-foot parlor, with its 10-foot ceilings, is bathed in natural light, accentuating the open floor plan. At the front, the formal living room, featuring an original decorative fireplace, is perfect for entertaining. The center of the floor hosts a spacious dining area and a thoughtfully designed powder room. At the rear, the chef’s kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, complete with an island, custom cabinetry, and quartz countertops. The farmhouse sink offers a tranquil view of the serene garden. Outfitted with Thermador stainless steel appliances—including a six-burner stove, dishwasher, wine cooler, and pot filler—the kitchen ensures culinary excellence.
Ascending to the upper level, the primary bedroom overlooks the peaceful backyard garden and includes two deep closets for ample storage. The luxurious primary bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a double vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower with a freestanding tub, offering a spa-like retreat. Three skylights throughout the level flood the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy ambiance. This top floor also features two south-facing bedrooms, a secondary bathroom, and the convenience of a washer/dryer.
The private basement, accessible via an interior staircase, features textured tile floors, 7-foot ceilings, and a powder room. This versatile space can be transformed into a playroom, home office, or additional living area. The garden level contains a separate one-bedroom unit with in-unit laundry, perfect for rental income or as an in-law suite.
Situated on a picturesque, tree-lined street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, this re-imagined townhouse is surrounded by local dining hotspots and parks. You are just moments away from popular dining spots such as Trad Room, L’Antagoniste, Saraghina, and Chez Oskar, as well as Saratoga Park, which features a new playground. Nearby public transportation options include the A/C trains and the Halsey B26, with JFK just a short 20-minute drive away.
