Description

Townhouse-style living with a private garden in a restored brownstone-this sun-filled triplex offers comfort, space, and historic charm in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Set on a tree-lined block at the crossroads of Bed-Stuy and Clinton Hill, Apartment A at 272 Putnam Avenue offers the rare opportunity to rent a spacious, three-level residence within a beautifully restored brownstone. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home blends the charm of original architectural details with the ease of modern upgrades-including a substantially sized private garden.

The top floor is the heart of the home, featuring a full-width layout with open kitchen, dining, and living areas designed for both entertaining and everyday living. The galley kitchen includes classic cabinetry, modern appliances, and a large island ideal for cooking, entertaining, and casual meals. Filled with natural light, the space offers seamless flow and functionality.

One level below, the garden floor hosts the primary bedroom with generous closet space and an elegant en-suite bathroom, along with two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom-plus a secondary access point to the private garden.

The lowest level includes two large recreation rooms-flexible space that can accommodate a studio, entertainment area, or workspace. Currently configured as a music room and woodworking shop, this level showcases the home's versatility.

Throughout the residence, you'll find exposed brick, hand-restored woodwork, custom shutters, hardwood floors, and high ceilings-preserving the building's historic character while embracing a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Additional features include mini split heating and cooling, an in-unit washer/dryer.

Located near the border between two of Brooklyn's most dynamic neighborhoods, where Bed-Stuy meets Clinton Hill, this home is surrounded by beloved local favorites like Saraghina, Peaches Hot House, L'Antagoniste, Clementine Bakery, Milk & Pull, and more. Nearby parks, community gardens, and independent shops add to the area's vibrant and welcoming energy. Access to the (A), (C), and (G) subway lines, the LIRR, and CitiBike makes commuting easy.

The apartment can be delivered fully furnished for an additional $500/month-or vacant at lease start. Application fee: $20 per applicant.
