778 Quincy Street, 2

This unique duplex with full garden access on one of the most sought-after blocks in Stuy Heights combines rare and complete original Victorian detail with spacious modern design. The parlor floor boasts high ceilings with pocket doors and original Victorian moldings. Oversized south-facing windows flood the space with abundant light. A former resident was so impressed by home's natural light that he used the rear bedroom as a studio for a multi-media installation now housed at MOMA. Entering the house from the top of the stoop, the parlor floor living room is spacious and features historic hardwood floors and a decorative fireplace. At the south-facing rear of the house you'll find a generously sized dining room and updated kitchen, with all new appliances including an in-unit washer/dryer. The dining room also leads out and down to a gorgeous backyard, which provides plenty of options for your own outdoor living style. Upstairs you'll find a skylit center bathroom with a deep clawfoot soaking tub., and four total bedrooms, all with closet space. There's a large and small front bedroom overlooking the tree-lined street, and matching large and small rear bedrooms with garden views. This particular block of Quincy is also one of Bed-Stuy's finest, with an active block association that watches out for each others' deliveries, organizes a phenomenal annual block party, and maintains a pristine community garden. It's also flanked East and West by avenues replete with excellent restaurants, music venues, galleries and bars, including Malcolm X Blvd's restaurant row. You'll find nearby three of the city’s best Jazz spots that regularly feature global artists, plus the intersection of the storied Bushwick Arts scene with Bed Stuy hip in an endless rotation of gallery, bar, and eatery openings along nearby Broadway.
