    Welcome home to your 3 Bedroom + Home Office, 2.5 Bathroom Garden Duplex in this quintessential Brooklyn brownstone located at 252 Stuyvesant Ave in historic Stuyvesant Heights, where historic charm meets modern luxury. Nestled in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, 252 Stuyvesant Ave is a meticulously designed and tastefully renovated brownstone that seamlessly blends pre-war elegance with modern luxury. Originally built in 1931, this home has been redesigned and restored by an end-user. You can see this home is a true labor of love, showcasing exquisite architectural details like incredible millwork, soaring ceilings, and open spaces alongside contemporary finishes. Bathed in natural light, the residence boasts three stunning outdoor spaces overlooking classic Brooklyn backyards, including a terrace off the parlor level's kitchen, a private bluestone patio, and a sprawling backyard. This palatial Bed-Stuy home sits on a 100' Lot and is 20' Wide x 42' Deep with a 10-foot extension on the garden level. The fully renovated Garden Duplex offers approximately 2,100 square feet of living space + a partial unfinished basement for storage. The Garden Duplex features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a home office, and a massive basement storage. The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with stunning granite countertops, Fisher Paykel steel appliances, a double wall oven, a walk-in pantry, and generous dining space. Throughout the home, stunning pre-war details have been carefully preserved, including original woodwork, a wood-burning fireplace, washer/dryer and refinished floors. A thoughtfully designed 344-square-foot extension on the garden level enhances the living space, complemented by newly installed wide solid oak floors and an elegant oak staircase with a custom bench and storage. Custom finishes include satin brass schoolhouse door hardware, designer lighting with dimmers, and carefully curated fixtures. The primary suite features a spacious walk-in closet, while the second and third bedrooms also include custom-built storage. The bathrooms offer a spa-like retreat with heated floors, custom tiling, marble finishes, and high-end fixtures. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with bluestone pavers, a concealed HVAC system, water access, and a lush lawn with space to roam. The Garden Duplex kitchen features restored wood windows, while the climate control system includes both radiant and central heat and air on the parlor and garden levels, as well as mini-split systems on the garden level. The electrical system was also fully updated in 2012. LOCATION Centrally located on the picturesque, tree-lined brownstone Stuyvesant Avenue, this exceptional home offers the perfect balance of historic character, modern convenience, and incredible investment potential. Whether as a dream residence or a high-performing income property, 252 Stuyvesant Avenue in Stuyvesant Heights delivers on all fronts.
