Artful living finds an expansive canvas in this three-bedroom triplex within a striking 25-foot-wide Bedford-Stuyvesant townhouse. Generous proportions, gallery-scale walls, and thoughtfully appointed interiors create an elegant setting for a collection, with room for large-format works and a personal approach to design. A defining feature of the residence is its expansive private backyard - an outdoor sanctuary with space for alfresco dining, relaxed entertaining, and quiet afternoons in the open air. The beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen opens directly onto this retreat, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. From intimate dinners to larger gatherings, the backyard extends the home’s impressive sense of scale. A sculptural iron staircase leads to the bedroom level, where the primary suite offers a serene retreat. Its spa-like en-suite bathroom features a deep soaking tub, double vanities, and a sleek glass-enclosed shower. Two additional, generously sized bedrooms and a second full bathroom complete this level. Below, a spacious recreation room and powder room offer versatility for a media lounge, home gym, or creative workspace. Wide-plank flooring brings warmth and continuity throughout the residence, while a shared roof deck opens to sweeping city views, adding another inviting outdoor experience above Brooklyn. The surrounding neighborhood adds its own cultural richness. Bed-Stuy’s historic brownstones, leafy streets, and vibrant murals reflect a longstanding legacy of Black art, music, and entrepreneurship. Nearby, Saraghina’s pizza and bakery, Southern-inspired dining at Peaches, and cocktails and live music at LunÀtico bring distinctive local flavor to everyday life. With gallery-like interiors, an expansive private backyard, and a rooftop retreat overlooking the city, this exceptional rental offers a compelling expression of contemporary townhouse living.
