597 Jefferson Ave, # 1, Brooklyn, NY 11221

Occupying the parlor and garden floors of a classic Bed-Stuy brownstone, this sprawling three-bedroom, two-bath duplex pairs historic soul with modern comfort. Beautifully preserved original details meet a private backyard, all on the second greenest block in all of Brooklyn, with a community garden right across the street. The parlor level features original woodwork, one of two decorative fireplaces, inlaid parquet floors, and an ornate fretwork divider, along with a full bathroom. The flexible layout offers three bedrooms, or two bedrooms plus a living room, with plenty of room for separate living, dining, sleeping, and work-from-home areas. Downstairs, the garden level has its own separate entryway with bonus storage tucked underneath the stoop. A living room offers flexible space that can easily double as a dining room, framed by beautiful woodwork around the built-in China cabinets and a second decorative fireplace. The spacious kitchen features generous cabinetry, a dishwasher, pantry storage, a tin ceiling, and an original built-in cupboard, while an in-unit washer and dryer, ample storage, and a second full bathroom round out the level. Step directly outside to your private backyard, with plenty of room for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing and no shortage of potential for anyone with a green thumb to make it their own. Set on one of Bed-Stuy's most picturesque, tree-lined blocks officially the second greenest in Brooklyn you're just steps from the community garden, along with neighborhood restaurants, cafes, shops, and transportation. With a private backyard, a separate garden-level entry with under-stoop storage, two full floors, in-unit laundry, and classic Brooklyn brownstone character, this home has it all.
