6-bedroom house for sale in Bedford-Stuyvesant

Behind its gracious L-shaped stoop and beautifully preserved Neo-Classical facade, 739 Putnam Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial Brooklyn brownstone where original craftsmanship and sophisticated modern design come together seamlessly. Meticulously gut-renovated by its current owner approximately five years ago, the residence was thoughtfully designed by Design Determination, a New York City luxury residential design firm, creating a refined interior that respects the character of the original architecture while introducing a distinctly modern sensibility. The four-story residence is configured as an expansive 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath and 2-half-bath owner's triplex over a separate 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath garden-level apartment, with an additional finished cellar. The thoughtful configuration offers exceptional flexibility for family living, extended guests, an in-law suite, or rental income. The parlor floor is the heart of the home. Original woodwork and millwork, an elegant arched doorway, and custom built-in bookshelves create an atmosphere of timeless Brooklyn character, while the generous proportions lend themselves naturally to both intimate gatherings and sophisticated entertaining. At the center of the home is a striking oversized kitchen designed as much for gathering as for cooking. Custom cabinetry by Florense, the renowned Brazilian luxury cabinetry maker celebrated for its bespoke design and exceptional durability, is paired with Caesarstone countertops and a substantial central island. The kitchen opens directly onto a private deck and garden, creating an effortless extension of the living space and an ideal setting for everyday family life and summer entertaining. The primary level offers a beautifully conceived private retreat. The spacious master bedroom enjoys southern exposure and abundant natural light, complemented by a wet bar, custom California Closets, and a sophisticated en-suite bath with separate soaking tub and shower. A neighboring room provides the flexibility of a dedicated home office, nursery, or additional private space. Upstairs, two generously scaled bedrooms feature walk-in closets and share two full bathrooms, offering a comfortable and private bedroom level for family or guests. The garden level is configured as a separate two-bedroom apartment with a full bath and additional powder room, providing a versatile space for extended family, guests, or rental use. A finished cellar with its own entrance and powder room adds another layer of flexibility, equally suited to a gym, media room, studio, playroom, or substantial storage. Ideally situated on a coveted Bed-Stuy brownstone block, 739 Putnam Avenue is moments from Key Food, neighborhood restaurants and cafes, with convenient access to the A/C express trains at Utica Avenue. With its restored architectural details, Design Determination interiors, Florense custom cabinetry, refined renovation, exceptional scale, private outdoor space, and flexible multi-generational configuration, 739 Putnam Avenue is a distinctive Brooklyn residence designed for the way modern families live.
