224 Putnam Avenue is a charming two-family brownstone situated in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Historic District near the neighborhood's border with Clinton Hill border. The residence recently underwent a meticulous renovation to include updated finishes while still preserving its classic pre-war details.
The Neo-Grec brownstone includes a garden-level 2-bedroom apartment and the owner's massive duplex, made up of 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. In total, the residence boasts 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms spread over 2,900 square feet of space - not including the 940-square-foot backyard and finished basement. The home just hit the market with an asking price of $1,695,000.
Highlights of the brownstone include elegant hardwood floors throughout, marble bathrooms, a large eat-in kitchen, framed windows, and an original mahogany decorative fireplace. Additionally, both units are equipped for a washer and dryer.
The owner's duplex features a master suite with a full bathroom, a separate living and dining room overlooking the terrace, and an open chef's kitchen with a caesarstone breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and a spacious dining area. The garden level residence features an open kitchen and living room layout with two roomy bedrooms in the back, overlooking the yard. The residents would also have access to the recreational room in the lower level and outdoor space.
This handsome brownstone is located on a quiet tree-lined block that is close to the neighborhood's restaurants, cafes and hangouts. The Nostrand Avenue subway station serving the A and C trains is just a short walk away.
