About This Property

Introducing 259 New York Avenue, an exquisite testament to history and elegance nestled in the heart of Crown Heights, Brooklyn. A captivating residence, set up as single-family home unfolds across three stories and a full basement, encompassing over 4,000 sq ft of meticulously designed living space.

Imbued with the charm of a bygone era yet seamlessly modernized, this residence stands as a testament to architectural finesse. Recent renovations have breathed new life into the home, adorning it with resplendent hardwood floors, bespoke cabinetry, and tasteful designer lighting that collectively create an ambiance of refined elegance.

The residence is a harmonious blend of form and function, featuring five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a study, a dining room, a living room, and two sun-soaked sanctuaries. These expansive spaces, graced by oversized windows that gracefully trace the contours of high ceilings, offer a canvas for a life well-lived.

As you approach, the exterior reveals a striking limestone fa ade echoing the Renaissance Revival style, complemented by a balustraded front terrace that adds an extra layer of sophistication, inviting residents and guests into a world of timeless grandeur.
Stepping inside, the entrance foyer unveils the parlor-level, where floor-to-ceiling windows usher in an abundance of natural light, casting a warm glow on the meticulously designed interiors. A study nearby, adorned with a decorative fireplace and intricate crown molding, sets the stage for refined contemplation.

The heart of culinary indulgence awaits on the same level in the form of a chef's kitchen. A dream realized, it features custom cabinetry offering ample storage, accentuated by designer lighting that highlights top-of-the-line LG appliances, including a French door refrigerator, dishwasher, and a 6-burner gas range with a vented hood. The kitchen's vista extends to a newly constructed backyard deck, a perfect extension of the home's seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living.

Ascending to the second floor, the primary bedroom reigns supreme, boasting substantial custom closets, an en-suite bathroom, and an additional decorative fireplace. Two additional bedrooms, generously proportioned to accommodate queen-sized beds, complete this level.
The third floor unfolds further possibilities, housing two additional bedrooms, a third bathroom, and an expansive laundry room, ensuring convenience and practicality at every turn.

The full basement, a versatile space for storage or various pursuits, offers seamless street access, adding to the functional design of this remarkable residence.

Situated on one of Crown Heights' most picturesque landmark streets, this residence immerses its inhabitants in a vibrant and diverse neighborhood, replete with amenities and attractions. Effortless commutes are assured with proximity to the 3 train at Nostrand Ave, and the 2 & 5 trains at President St, along with accessible buses and Citi Bike stations.

Discover the rich tapestry of Crown Heights, exploring nearby gems such as Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Brooklyn Museum. Indulge your palate in the array of restaurants and nightlife options that define this dynamic locale.
In this unparalleled opportunity, seize the chance to claim ownership of a piece of Brooklyn's storied history-an abode with unlimited potential, a sanctuary where past and present converge in perfect harmony.
