Property Description for 340 Decatur Street
Situated on a beautiful, landmarked Stuyvesant Heights block, this legal two-family townhouse with its new brownstone facade and wood cornice is dripping with character and charm from top to bottom!
Enter through the wood paneled vestibule, marvel at the 8' oak door and be welcomed into a generously sized parlor with a wide front window, original wood floors and a delightful up-cycled pass-through window surrounded by custom bookcases. The parlor floor also features an under-stairs closet and a charming half bath and then on to a wide, open-plan country style kitchen with a vintage tiled floor, reclaimed cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Southern light streams in through the double doors and bathes the deck in sun throughout the day.
At the top of the dog-leg staircase is a skylight-illuminated home office (convertible third bedroom), a full bath decorated with whimsical tile, and an adjacent washer/dryer, and a large guest bedroom with a wall of closets. The South facing primary suite has a windowed bathroom with a spa tub and a wealth of storage.
The garden rental unit is equally charming with an ample sitting room, south facing bedroom and flex den/second bedroom. A galley kitchen leading out on to a charming blue stone patio completes the apartment.
The home-grown cherry on the top of the cake is the back yard which is truly an urban gardener's paradise! There's dwarf peach, plum and sour cherry trees, several high producing varieties of blueberry and grape, perennial crocus, daffodils and hyacinths, a lilac bush and room for ample vegetables and annuals. The pergola is designed to hold a hammock and wisteria and honeysuckle adorn the deck, giving a beautiful summer privacy screen. The front garden is graced with a blooming magnolia. Finally, the house features a dry, semi-finished cellar.
Once Brooklyn's best kept secret, Bed Stuy is now a destination! At the end of the block is Chez Oscar and L'Antagoniste, Turtles all the way down, Saraghina and Trad Room are close by. The A/C at Utica is less than 5 minutes away.

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.
