Property Description for 591 Putnam Ave

591 Putnam Ave is a beautifully restored modernized townhouse originally built-in 1901 on a refreshing tree-lined block in Bed Stuy. This two-family home is approximately 3,640 square feet and perfectly embodies the Brownstone Brooklyn lifestyle. Newly configured as an upper triplex with a garden apartment, you can enjoy spacious private living with the option of income or the privacy of a single-family home.

Enter the parlor floor through the spacious foyer, and the 11-foot ceilings immediately catch your eye, showcasing the stateliness and space of the home. The front of the parlor floor is a spacious blend of living space with plenty of room for a dining table to seat 12. As you walk past the dining area, an open doorway leads to the airy kitchen providing a sense of connection to the living/dining space or desired separation. The kitchen is renovated with style accented by a Fisher Paykel appliance package, including a gas stove, dishwasher, and microwave. The renovated windows in the kitchen provide an abundance of sunlight. The two parlor fireplaces were updated while also showcasing their original mantels, underscoring the balance of Brownstone living and modern conveniences.

As you walk up the classic staircase, you'll find the second floor is complete with two large bedrooms and a shared bathroom with dual sinks, a shower, and a soaking tub. The third floor has two perfectly placed sunroofs, one in the hallway cascading natural light throughout the home and the other in the primary bathroom providing light to a spacious, well-appointed bathroom. The primary bedroom is accented with a wood-beamed ceiling and refinished original wood floors. The second room on the third floor is a bonus room possibly used as a walk-in closet for the resident fashionista.

The entire house has refinished original wood floors and highly efficient split-level systems providing warmth, comfort and reliability to your new home.

The garden rental is a one-bedroom that can have backyard access if desired.

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.
