437 Putnam Ave Unit 1, Brooklyn, NY 11221

Welcome to this versatile and beautiful 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom garden-level duplex in the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Apt 1 at 437 Putnam Avenue is one of only four residences in a classic townhouse, thoughtfully and meticulous converted to a boutique, 4-unit condo building in 2020. This extraordinary unit spans two levels, and features modern conveniences such as central air conditioning and heating, and an in-unit vented washer/dryer stack. But most important of all is the spacious, private backyard—that most coveted of all Brooklyn home features. As you step into your apartment, you enter a large living/dining area with a fantastic flow. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and gas range, as well as a custom made island with breakfast bar—ideal for casual meals or for keeping the chef company while cooking. The rest of the space is more than generous enough for separate lounge and dining areas. Southern exposed windows, ideal for light, look out on quiet Putnam Avenue. Toward the back of the garden level, you will find two perfectly proportioned bedrooms, as well as two full bathrooms (one en suite for you, the other separate for guests). The rear windows are open to the spacious and bright backyard, with access through the primary bedroom. Enjoy your morning coffee, dine al fresco, or just let the dog out when it's too rainy to go for a walk. It's an incredible outdoor space with incredible potential. Downstairs is a large and versatile basement. Masterfully utilized by the current owners as separate lounging and sleeping areas, the wall between the two spaces can easily be removed by the new owners to create one large room. The elegant arched support columns are a distinctive architectural element, and create a unique atmosphere rarely found in apartments of this type. A door toward the rear of the building leads up to the backyard, making it ideal for recreational purposes. Living here, Bedford-Stuyvesant's rich cultural heritage and tree-lined streets are yours to enjoy. With the Nostrand and Kingston-Throop Av stops on the A/C trains nearby, the best of Brooklyn and Manhattan are easily accessible. Nearby staples like Saraghina and Peaches become your local haunts, and Herbert Von King Park is just a few blocks away. Make an appointment to see this remarkable property today.
