Property Description for 457 Lexington Ave

Set on a picturesque tree-lined block in the heart of Bed-Stuy, this beautifully renovated 20- foot-wide townhouse offers a rare combination of scale, versatility, and modern convenience. Spanning four levels and approximately 2,961 square feet, including a finished basement, the home sits on an impressive 20' x 100' lot and provides the space to live, entertain, and grow with ease.

Configured as a two-family residence, the property offers a large primary residence plus 2nd apartment. Enjoy the benefits of rental income, create a private guest or in-law suite, or large separate home office, or convert the home into a sprawling single-family townhouse that suits your vision and lifestyle.

The interiors have been thoughtfully updated. A fully renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a modern layout, elegant Dolomite Quartz countertops, and updated appliances. The bathrooms have also been extensively renovated, including two serene second- floor baths appointed with high-end finishes, oversized tilework, a soaking tub, and thoughtful details that create a spa-like atmosphere.

Beyond the finishes, the home has benefited from substantial infrastructure upgrades. A five- zone mini-split HVAC system provides efficient heating and cooling throughout, while a new roof, upgraded main water line, and recently installed water heater offer comfort and peace of mind. Original hardwood floors have been carefully restored, complemented by new wide- plank flooring on the main level and a series of exterior improvements that enhance both curb appeal and functionality.

Life here means enjoying one of Brooklyn's most dynamic neighborhoods right outside your door. Spend weekends at Herbert Von King Park, discover neighborhood cafes and acclaimed restaurants on Tompkins Ave., or explore the local boutiques and cultural destinations that have made Bed-Stuy one of the city's most sought-after communities. Nearby A, C, G, and J subway lines provide convenient access throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan.

A rare combination of width, scale, flexibility, and turnkey renovations, this is a home that effortlessly blends historic Brooklyn charm with modern living in one of the borough's most vibrant neighborhoods.

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.
