Bright and airy with high ceilings and adorned with period detail, 508 Halsey Street is an ethereal beauty filled with pure potential. This three-story, two-family brick townhome is located in prime Stuyvesant Heights on a landmarked block between Lewis and Stuyvesant Avenues, and a stone's throw to the express A train.  

Built in 1883 by L. N. Nichols in the Neo-Grec style, this elegant home retains all the original exterior ironwork and will solidly put you on the path toward townhome perfection. The parlor floor oozes romance and charm featuring two extraordinary incised slate mantles, ornate plaster relief work, original tin ceilings, paneled pocket and French doors, decorative wood moldings, original parquet and strip floors, and original shutters, newel post and railing  508 Halsey offers elegance at every turn. The backyard exudes a peaceful zen vibe under the shade of an enormous Oak Tree, and Silver Lace covers the pergola.

Two more decorative mantles grace the garden and top floors along with original shutters, railings and subfloors. 508 Halsey has been partially upgraded over time.  The lower duplex is move-in ready but bring your architect to make the most of this special home.

508 Halsey Street is located in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights near all the best that Bedford Stuyvesant has to offer from Saraghina, Peaches, Seasons Nursery, Bar LunAtico, Mama Fox, Rita & Maria Coffee, Manny's Wine Shop, Chez Oskar, Halsey Traders, The Macon Library, Trad Room  along with all the other great eateries and shopping on Lewis Ave and Malcolm X Blvd; and steps from the Utica express train station at Stuyvesant Ave.

Maybe the original for-sale ad from 1883 says it best, 'Just the neatest, most convenient, and complete 2-story and basement brick house to be had in the Twenty-fifth ward.'
