Only a few blocks from the Kingston/Throop and Nostrand Avenue A/C subway stops, this huge 2.5 bedroom is a beautifully renovated triplex home in Bed-Stuy and offers all the relaxed privacy of brownstone living along with the convenience of a fast, direct commute and your own private garden and terrace. This brownstone has the perfect mix of modern fixtures and finishes set tastefully in the context of a prewar townhouse with gorgeous original details and central AC. The foyer leads directly into the open and expansive living/kitchen room area. The pristine chef's kitchen has a tiled backsplash and ample cabinets to hold all of your ingredients and tools. Marble countertops encircle stainless Miele appliances including a full-sized dishwasher. A marble breakfast bar has room for stools and opens into the combined living/dining space.
