412 Stuyvesant Ave

Eye-popping, 2-family limestone townhouse with the rounded castle-style front and elegant wrought iron doors, on one of the prettiest blocks in all of Stuyvesant Heights has just become available for sale. At the turn of the century in New York City, and specifically in Stuyvesant Heights Brooklyn and elsewhere, they were crafting masterpieces of residence that would forever stand the test of time and good taste; 412 Stuyvesant Avenue clearly owns the subject line of this very bold statement. With well-preserved and stately original finishes like basket-weave Parquet Floors of oak and walnut inlay, matching mantels, beautiful banisters, stained glass and rich dark wood wainscoting throughout, this majestic neo-classical style home is quite simply, unsurpassed. Just the sheer magnitude of the property itself is striking! Situated on a 20 by 105-foot lot, spanning three floors and boasting more than 4,000 square feet of livable space! As a legal two-family home, the top floor is currently a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with loads of natural sunlight! This unit has an ample kitchen, an enormous living room as well as a sweet balcony overlooking the garden below! The first two floors serve as the owner's 3-bedroom 3-bathroom duplex. At the parlor level, there's a spacious entranceway leading into the grand foyer, laden with lovely original dark wood finishes all around you. From the foyer, one can access the large living room, enhanced with tall triple windows for added natural light, as well as the modern kitchen, complete with a convenient half bath, all flowing gracefully straight through and into the gorgeous garden and patio in back. Rounding out this duplex are three enormous bedrooms upstairs, all with the same elegant wood detail as the floor below, all with a staggering amount of natural light and an abundance of closet space. The newly updated bathroom on this floor is luxurious and oversized, complete with modern mosaic tile inside the glass enclosed shower/spa with seat, all surrounded by tasteful fixtures and matching vanity. Down below is a magnificent basement currently serving as a wet-bar, office and laundry room complete with an extra full bathroom and a wealth of storage. Notably, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden has twice recognized this block of Stuyvesant Avenue to be one of "The Greenest Blocks in Brooklyn" a distinction the neighbors enjoy with dignity and pride. Overlooking Fulton Park, just a block from the A train at Utica Avenue and within walking distance of all the notable restaurants and cafes like Chez Oskar, Peaches and Saraghina, this is an amazing opportunity that won't last.
