879 Greene Avenue is a four-story Neo-Grec brownstone in Stuyvesant Heights, configured with an owner’s triplex above a one-bedroom garden apartment. Behind the classic brownstone façade, the interiors are warm, decorative and distinctly individual, with herringbone and inlaid wood floors, marble and handsome millwork throughout.
The parlor floor is the heart of the house, with living and dining spaces flowing into a beautifully appointed kitchen at the rear. White cabinetry and long timber shelves sit beneath a coffered ceiling, while a large marble-topped island provides generous workspace and seating. Beyond, the terrace extends the living space outdoors and leads down to the deep rear garden.
The bedroom floors are exceptionally practical: all three bedrooms have their own en-suite baths. Two bedrooms share the middle floor, along with conveniently placed laundry, while a substantial primary suite occupies the entire floor above. A striking primary bathroom features an oversized skylight over a freestanding clawfoot tub, with a separate glass-enclosed shower.
The one-bedroom garden apartment adds an income-producing component to the two-family configuration. A full cellar provides a large recreation room in addition to mechanical and utility space.
With Malcolm X Blvd a block away, the location provides an excellent collection of neighborhood restaurants and bars within easy reach.
