Property Description
Located at the crossroads of Clinton Hill and Bed Stuy, 272 Putnam Avenue, Apt. B is an expansive three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath duplex condominium that spans the entire top two floors-plus the full private roof-of a beautifully gut-renovated brownstone. Shared with just one other owner, this upper duplex offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and modern Brooklyn living. Gut renovated in 2018, the home thoughtfully preserves original character, including restored shutters and window casings, original spindles and banister, a decorative fireplace, and exposed brick accents throughout. These historic details are paired with modern comforts, including mini-split heating and cooling, a vented washer/dryer, custom-built-in storage and closets, new kitchen cabinetry and appliances, and recently renovated hardwood floors. The oversized kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances. A massive center island anchors the space, separating the living and dining areas while providing generous prep and gathering space. The dining area easily accommodates a table for six or more. This level also includes a discreet powder room and a warm, inviting living area with floor-to-ceiling custom bookshelves, exposed brick, and large south-facing windows that fill the space with natural light. Upstairs, the serene primary suite sits at the rear of the home and features a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom with modern square tile and a glass-enclosed shower. The two closets (one being a walk-in!) give plenty of storage. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, a full bath, and a vented washer/dryer complete this floor. Up one more flight, spanning over 600 square feet, the private roof deck is your own urban retreat-perfect for dining, lounging, gardening, or entertaining, all while enjoying open views of downtown Brooklyn. Recently updated pavers and chimney flashing add peace of mind and long-term durability. This self-managed two-unit brownstone offers extremely low taxes and common charges. Set in a vibrant pocket of Bedford-Stuyvesant near parks, green spaces, and beloved local spots like Saraghina, Peaches Hothouse, L'Antagoniste, Milk & Pull, Warude, Peace & Riot, Brooklyn Blooms, Burly Coffee, Ursula, and Dynaco. Convenient to the A, C, and G trains, LIRR, and Citi Bike just outside your door.
