Built in 1910 and just off a meticulous 2-year glow-up, this historic four-family brick townhouse is now showing off a beautifully renovated, high-spec apartment available from mid-June.

The first thing you’ll notice is that it’s enormous. At roughly 20 × 65 ft across a full floor (~1,300 sq ft), this isn’t your typical NYC one-bedroom—it’s closer to what most people imagine their duplex feels like. Add 11-foot ceilings and everything opens up in a way that feels rare for the neighborhood.

What makes it special is the combination of original character, modern finishes, and private outdoor space.

Set just off Tompkins Ave—Bed-Stuy’s unofficial restaurant row—you’re surrounded by excellent options. Saraghina is a neighborhood institution for wood-fired pizza, Peaches HotHouse delivers some of the best hot chicken in the city, Bar LunÀtico combines live music with great food, The Fly is a go-to for roast chicken and natural wine, Chez Oskar is a longtime local favorite, and L'Antagoniste is quietly one of the best French meals in Brooklyn. You’re also a short walk to the A/C trains at Nostrand or Throop

Inside, the kitchen is designed for people who actually cook, with a 10-foot island, marble waterfall countertops, a properly vented gas range, French door refrigerator, and a Vintec wine fridge with space for 24 bottles. The bedroom is large, bright, and easily fits a king bed with room to spare. The bathroom feels more like a boutique hotel, with a double vanity, handmade Clè tile, a Kohler soaking tub, and an oversized mirror.

Out back, there’s a private 600 sq ft yard finished with bluestone, pea gravel, and a mahogany deck with built-in seating—ideal for entertaining or just quietly enjoying having more outdoor space than most Brooklyn apartments.
The apartment also includes central heating and cooling with a smart Ecobee thermostat (Alexa compatible), a highly efficient system, in-unit washer and dryer, triple-pane front windows for sound insulation, a video intercom, dimmable lighting throughout, and strong storage including a walk-through closet plus an optional ~250 sq ft basement storage room available under separate lease.

In short, this is a rare, oversized, thoughtfully designed home in one of Brooklyn’s best pockets—equally suited to hosting, relaxing, and enjoying the neighborhood.

Available mid-June. Reach out to arrange a viewing.
