457 Van Buren St, Brooklyn, NY 11221

Set on a picturesque brownstone block in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, 457 Van Buren Street is a newly reimagined two-family townhouse blending a warm, modern minimalist aesthetic with a highly functional layout. South-facing and filled with natural sunlight, the home spans three levels of living plus a finished cellar and offers generous proportions, private outdoor space, and a separate income-producing residence. A large front yard and classic stoop create an inviting entrance and additional outdoor space. The owner’s residence is a spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom upper duplex with direct private access to the finished cellar. The parlor level features generous living and dining areas, a powder room, and a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen with custom solid white oak cabinetry, marble countertops, premium appliances, a large center island, and a dedicated coffee/bar station. Throughout the home, wide-plank rift-cut white oak flooring, custom millwork, classic moldings, oversized windows, custom closets, recessed lighting, and carefully selected stone and tilework create a refined yet inviting atmosphere. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a serene primary suite with ample closet space and a spa-inspired en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully finished hall bathroom, and a conveniently located washer/dryer completes the floor. A private staircase from the owner’s residence leads directly to the finished cellar, which includes an additional powder room and flexible accessory space ideal for a home office, gym, recreation room, or storage. The garden residence is a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment with its own private entrance and spacious open living, dining, and kitchen area. Completely separate from the owner’s home, it offers excellent rental potential at approximately $4,500 per month, or flexibility for extended family or guests. Outside, the home offers both a generous front yard and private rear backyard, providing exceptional space for entertaining, dining, gardening, or relaxing. Originally built in 1899, 457 Van Buren Street combines classic Brooklyn townhouse character with the comfort, design, and functionality of a comprehensive modern renovation, all on a beautiful tree-lined Bed-Stuy block close to neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shops, and transportation.
