Property Description for 551 Saint Marks Ave
Originally constructed in 1905, this newly renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details, an honorable salute to its past.
This townhouse is a four-story, two-family home that features 6 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, a large parlor deck, and an expansive backyard garden. From the American Walnut floors to beautiful casement windows, the attention to detail can be found throughout this home.
As you walk up to the house you are first greeted by a long porch, great for watching the days pass by. The owner's 4 bed 4.5 bath triplex has a mosaic-tiled foyer and an oversized half-glass entry door. As you step into a parlor floor, you realize the breadth of space as the wide windows let the light permeate inside. The kitchen features custom cabinetry and Caesarstone countertops as well as a farmhouse sink and a full complement of appliances including Viking refrigerator, Viking six-burner stove, and dishwasher. This eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream.
Upstairs you find four bedrooms and four full baths. The elegant master bedroom faces the serene backyard gardens and features two windows, office space and a large closet. The master bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, a glass-enclosed rain shower, and a deep-soaking tub. Down the hall, is another bedroom and classic second bathroom. On the third floor, there are two large bedrooms each with a bright bathroom.
The private basement can be accessed through an interior staircase and is finished with tile floors. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, media den or artist studio. The separate garden floor two-bedroom unit can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment.
This redesigned townhouse is located in the heart of Crown Heights where St Marks Avenue meets Franklin. You are moments away from great establishments such as Chavela's, Mayfield, Glady's and Aita Trattoria as well as Prospect Park. Nearby public transportation includes the 2/3, 4/5, C trains or the LIRR.

Quick Profile
Originally known as Crown Hill by the Lenape Indians that lived there, Crown Heights has evolved into a diverse neighborhood, occupied primarily by Hasidic Jews and one of the largest Caribbean populations to be found anywhere outside of the West Indies.
Head over to Nostrand Avenue, one of the main West Indian commercial areas in the neighborhood, which is lined with stores that have been in those exact same places for generations, providing their goods and services to area residents. Kingston Avenue has similar commercial activities that support the Jewish community, and Franklin Avenue shows the most signs of change and gentrification, with an ever-expanding mix of yoga studios, coffee shops, and organic grocery stores that serve the influx of young professionals. No matter which of these areas you visit, you will find an interesting mix of businesses that you wouldn’t normally picture as existing side-by-side. It is all part of the cultural diversity of Crown Heights.
The neighborhood is bisected, from east to west, by Eastern Parkway, which is a beautiful, 3-mile-long boulevard lined with mature trees. This leafy oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of Central Park, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D. C.
You will find a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, large middle-class elevator buildings, brownstones, and some luxury buildings. Century-old architecture stands next to modern residential developments in a visually interesting mix of styles, much as the diversity of the residents exists. People who would not normally meet and mix are forging new pathways to cultural understanding by working, living, and playing together in the same neighborhood.
