Charming Renovated Brownstone in Prime Bedford-Stuyvesant
Welcome to 259 Clifton Place, a 4-story brownstone set on a quiet, tree-lined street in the highly desirable Bedford-Stuyvesant. This elegant two-family home offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury, featuring a spacious owner's triplex above a charming garden rental apartment. With a stately 17-foot-wide fa ade and an expansive 100-foot-deep lot, this home exudes classic Brooklyn brownstone beauty while providing generous living space.
Spanning over 3,200 square feet, the main residence offers 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and laundry. Upon entering you're welcomed by a sun-filled double parlor with soaring 12-foot-high ceilings. The grandeur of the marble mantels, intricate moldings, and four decorative fireplaces showcase the home's exquisite pre-war craftsmanship. Carefully curated modern upgrades harmoniously complement the timeless character of the space.
The renovated, oversized kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring custom HenryBuilt cabinetry in sleek semi-gloss white with hidden hardware. At the center, a 7-foot island with mahogany accents sets a refined tone. The Wolf stove, white stone composite countertops, and a striking backsplash of black, gray, and white triangular tiles add a contemporary flair. From the kitchen, step out onto a spacious deck overlooking the private garden, where a stunning cherry tree blossoms beautifully in the spring, painting the landscape with vibrant hues of pink and white. This oasis from the city is the perfect space for relaxation or outdoor entertaining.
