Welcome to 222 Patchen Avenue, a historic two-family townhome in the heart of vibrant Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Built in 1899, this extra-deep 20' x 45'+ red-brick townhouse sits on a 20' x 80' lot and retains an impressive array of original architectural details, including its distinctive red-brick façade with brownstone detailing, original cornice, iron railings, and beautiful oak hardwood floors throughout. Additional period features include original moldings surrounding the walls, doors, and windows, as well as elegant French and pocket doors.
Currently configured as a two-family residence, the garden level was most recently utilized as a legal daycare and offers an opportunity to be converted back to a spacious one-bedroom apartment, complete with a living room, dining area, kitchen, and full bathroom. The garden level also provides direct access to a generously sized, well-maintained two-tiered outdoor space—ideal for entertaining, dining, gardening, or simply relaxing.
The parlor level features three bedrooms, while the third floor offers two additional bedrooms along with a living/dining area, walk-in closet, kitchen, and full bathroom. Throughout the home, the preserved architectural details provide a wonderful foundation for a thoughtful renovation, allowing the next owner to create a residence tailored to their individual vision and lifestyle.
A full, unfinished cellar provides valuable additional space with potential for recreation, storage, a home gym, or future customization.
