    What's special

    Welcome home to 638 Putnam Avenue, an exceptional 4 story, 20 foot wide, 2 family brownstone in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights. This lovely home boasts the perfect combination of old and new with its original hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, pocket doors, high ceilings, five decorative fireplaces, alongside a newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms all with modern amenities. Upon entering the grand parlor floor of this completely Zen home, one is greeted with a graceful staircase of period woodwork and a huge living space with original hardwood floors throughout. This room offers two large windows for great natural lighting, a decorative fireplace and an 11 ft ceiling. Beyond the living room and through pocket doors, is a charming dining room with continued original flooring, a second decorative fireplace and a south facing window that bathes the entire room in sunlight. Opening into the dining room is a bright white, windowed kitchen with custom, double stacked cabinets for an abundance of storage, all stainless steel appliances and a generous Carrara marble peninsula for preparing those special meals with family and friends. Right off the dining room is the south facing, sun drenched deck for taking entertaining outside. Enjoy your morning coffee and paper sitting in this peaceful space or choose to walk down to the large backyard and enjoy all of the possibilities that this wide open space offers. Up to the second floor, find three bedrooms. This floor is currently a master suit with a lovely master bedroom, dressing room, and the third bedroom being used as a closet. There is a Jack and Jill bathroom between the master bedroom and dressing room, outfitted with a luxurious soaker tub and glass enclosed shower with a rain shower head. The top floor offers three bedrooms, two large and one smaller perfect for an office or nursery. This floor is serviced by a spacious, nicely appointed bathroom with enclosed glass shower. On the garden level is the beautifully renovated one bedroom rental/guest suite/grandparents quarters. It boasts a large open concept living/dining/kitchen space and the same details that are present throughout the home, including original wood floors, woodwork, and decorative fireplace. The spacious bedroom, with an entire wall of closets, opens out to a patio, a definite draw to this unit if you are planning to rent it. In the cellar, a rustic game room/hang out space/man cave awaits the new owner of this amazing home. Currently utilized as a game room, this space is perfect for continued enjoyment of this entire home. Located right off trendy restaurant row on Lewis Avenue. Steps to the A train express stop. Only 20 minutes to Manhattan! This is a rarely available gem. A great opportunity to start enjoying that Brownstone Brooklyn lifestyle you have been seeking!
