Description

Come home to this amazing duplex home which was carefully crafted just a few years ago by the one and only, Brooklyn Home Company! And to top it all off, this one comes with a sunny and recently sodded backyard, slate patio and built-in planter perfect for your very own vegetable garden. Stepping in under the stoop of this gorgeous 1899 Bedford Stuyvesant townhouse, you walk in to a beautifully proportioned living/dining area with wide plank white oak floors and a beautiful bay window area to the front of the building. The kitchen is replete with simple yet elegant shaker style cabinets, Pietra Cardosa countertops, a paneled Meile dishwasher, Maytag double-doored stainless fridge and a strong and hefty Wolf range great for cooking for an army! The bathroom is equipped with beautifully tiled and heated floors, a Toto dual flush commode and a beautifully crafted custom medicine cabinet. In the back, there are two bedrooms with good closet space and doors that lead out to the back patio and yard. Down a spiral staircase in the middle of it all, you will find your rec room with a half bath, washer dryer and space for a playroom, music room, den or just a general area to hang out! (Please note, that this area is currently being used as the main sleeping area). 581 Putnam is a four unit townhouse built in 1899 and renovated by the Brooklyn home company in 2017. On a beautiful block in Brooklyn's Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood, this one is close to tons of bustling shops and restaurants. Call us today for an appointment!
