This duplex stunner has so much to love in a Brooklyn home - spacious living quarters with natural light and white oak floors, a roomy lower level with radiant heated flooring, a beautiful private backyard patio-garden with triple exposures, and a huge storage closet beneath the stairs with a section that has been renovated into an office.

This 1,290 square foot gem sits on the ground floor of a modern 6-unit boutique condominium in prime Bedford-Stuyvesant. Enjoy the airy layout with an upstairs bedroom and eat-in kitchen with ample wood cabinetry, white Caesarstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open connection to a spacious living/dining room. Here you can entertain in style, and spill out to the lovely rear fenced-in yard with a patio for lounging, alfresco dining, and a lush landscaped lawn area for gardening. A massive downstairs rec room serves as a luxurious primary bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Connected to it, is a charming sunroom/terrarium for a table and chairs where you can relax and sip on coffee.

This duplex has 1.5 baths, both sleekly tiled. The full bathroom features a soaking tub/shower for refreshing. It is made even more attractive with central air conditioning, laundry, low common charges, and a tax abatement. The location is just a half a block to the NostrandBedford G train, and one block to great new restaurants, wine bars and lounges along Franklin Avenue. Note: This is a legal 1 bedroom per the offering plan. Make this beauty yours!

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn

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.
