If you’re looking for the ideal Brooklyn brownstone, this fine example in Bed-Stuy at 757 Putnam Avenue checks all the boxes, from charming curb appeal to a top-to-bottom renovation that doesn’t erase the home’s rich history. Asking $3,195,000, the two-family townhouse includes a renovated garden flat with two bedrooms and garden access for rental income or use as a guest suite.
A perfectly curated renovation spared no expense; the result is a sophisticated home with 21st-century comforts throughout. Modern additions include a built-in speaker system, custom closets, zoned central air conditioning, herringbone-patterned oak floors, and double-pane windows within their original moldings.
Up the classic Brooklyn stoop, an impressive set of brownstone doors announces your arrival. Beneath tall ceilings, an open living room is a showcase of elegant interior design and architecture. The space is anchored by a working wood-burning fireplace.
The living room opens into a gracious, light-filled kitchen lined in custom white oak cabinetry. Integrated high-end appliances include a Fisher-Paykel refrigerator, a six-burner Wolf range, and a built-in microwave and wine cooler, anchored by a dramatic marble-topped center island.
An architecturally exquisite breakfast nook features a velvet banquette. From the kitchen, step out onto a private terrace with views of the surrounding homes and gardens. A dramatic marble-clad powder room serves this floor as well.
On the second floor, the home’s elegant primary suite features delicate wall and window moldings. This urban retreat is served by a walk-in dressing area and an en-suite bathroom highlighted by bright blue zellige tiles, marble-topped vanities, a rain shower, and a soaking tub. A large second bedroom and a second bath complete this floor.
On the home’s skylit top floor are two additional bedrooms served by two baths. Also up here: The convenience of a vented washer and dryer.
On the home’s garden level is a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with a generously-sized living room and a fully renovated kitchen and bath. This unit offers plenty of closet space, an in-unit washer and dryer, and direct backyard access.
