962 Gates Avenue — An Expansive Bed-Stuy Beauty
Discover an exceptionally large and meticulously maintained two-family, three-story townhouse offering over 3,350 sq ft of living space, a rare 19.5' x 57.5' footprint, and an additional 550 sq ft finished basement. The home is composed of a sun-filled 2,243 sq ft upper duplex and a 1,123 sq ft garden apartment with private basement access.
The upper duplex opens to an impressive 750 sq ft living/dining/kitchen great room anchored by two marble mantels. A rear bedroom—perfect as a studio—leads to a private deck overlooking the garden. Upstairs, find four oversized bedrooms, three full baths, and soaring ceilings (11' on the parlor level, 10' above).
The garden apartment offers three generous bedrooms, an open chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a large living/dining area, a 550 sq ft south-facing garden, and its own fully finished basement—currently a music studio. Exposed brick, central air, individual thermostats, and in-unit laundry enhance both residences.
Ideally located one block from the J/M/Z at Gates Ave and a short walk to the A/C at Utica, 962 Gates sits moments from local favorites including Saraghina, Trad Room, Passionfruit Coffee, Cuts & Slices, Ornithology Jazz Club, and Chez Alex Bakery.
A rare blend of scale, light, and location—welcome home.
