An elegant owner's duplex is on the garden and parlor levels, with an open, loft-like floor plan that gives modern sweep and drama to old-world brownstone grandeur. Featuring a beautifully renovated kitchen, lovely working fireplace, recessed lighting, floor-to-ceiling stained-glass windows and a powder room, this artist's-designed space has two bedrooms on the lower level, with a laundry room, a full bath and a room off the master bedroom that is plumbing-ready to install your own state-of-the art master bath. Entertain on the gracious deck that is off of the sitting room area on the parlor floor. And have morning coffee in the garden off the master bedroom. A fabulous investment for the buyer who wants a great home along with a great income producer.

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
