Property Description
THIS REIMAGINED BROWNSTONE MERGES HISTORIC BROOKLYN ARCHITECTURE WITH NEXT-LEVEL ENERGY EFFICIENCY Welcome to this thoughtfully designed 6 bedroom, 3.5-bath brownstone - with two additional flex rooms, a laundry room, and a separate garden duplex rental apartment all in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant. From the outside, 435 Putnam Avenue's Neo-Grecian details blend seamlessly with its Victorian-era neighbors. Inside, a 2017 gut renovation has transformed it into a paragon of luxurious and sustainable living. Brooklyn-based architect Mark Dixon designed 435 Putnam Avenue according to Passive House principles with airtight construction, extremely high-quality insulation, and a ventilation system that heats and cools the space using minimal energy. The result is a city sanctuary that's pin-drop quiet and always the ideal temperature. Thanks to elements like triple-glazed windows and a state-of-the-art ventilation and filtration system, air inside 435 Putnam Avenue is cleaner and crisper than what's outside. Most importantly, it's energy-efficient - translating to impressively low utility bills. Walk through the home's parlor-floor entrance, framed by original geometric fluting, to reach the airy living room and eat-in kitchen - sun-soaked with natural light from windows bookending the space, including a dining room skylight. Modern touches - like whimsical wallpaper by Scottish design studio Timorous Beasties - juxtapose accents alluding to 19th-century Brooklyn. There's a wood-burning stove, crown molding crafted in NYC, a kitchen backsplash made of hand-cut Dutch tiles, and solid-oak chevron flooring stretching across the room. Custom walnut-veneer cabinets and a marble island anchor the kitchen, outfitted with Miele appliances, including a 72x48in built-in refrigerator, induction cooktop, oven, and steamer oven. Step through the kitchen door to the back deck, with ample room for seating and a grill. A staircase descends to the garden, soundtracked by birdsong for half the year thanks to tulips, hydrangeas, rose bushes and a peach tree that bloom from spring through autumn. Back inside, an oak staircase leads to a second-floor hallway linking the primary bedroom, a second bedroom, an office space, and a powder room. The main bedroom features a minimalist en-suite bathroom, an Elfa-designed walk-in closet and a soaking tub framed by garden-facing windows. The street-facing bedroom features an original fireplace mantel and floral wallpaper initially designed for a Viktor & Rolf fashion show. The skylit third floor follows a similar format with two bedrooms and an additional home office area, along with a utility room equipped with an LG washer-dryer unit and sink. Beneath the primary home, a separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom duplex garden apartment with finished lower level has a private entrance, in-unit laundry, and garden access via a blue-slate back patio. 435 Putnam Avenue sits in the center of residential Bedford-Stuyvesant, a cultural hotbed that gave birth to legends like Biggie Smalls and athlete Jackie Robinson. Today, Putnam Avenue is home to a tight-knit community of creative professionals and long-time residents - and steps from restaurants central to Bed-Stuy's foodie revolution. There's James Beard nominated Ursula, Department of Culture and the much-loved Japanese-Mexican fusion eatery Warude, just to name a few. For home cooking, you'll find excellent grocery stores conveniently located within a few blocks. For a break from concrete, stroll 10 minutes to the Herbert Von King Park - designed by Frederick Law Olmsted - the famed landscape architect behind New York's most coveted green spaces Prospect Park and Central Park.
