Welcome to your charming Brooklyn retreat a beautifully preserved one-bedroom apartment nestled in a classic brownstone on a picturesque, tree-lined block in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant North. Located in a historic building designed in 1889 by renowned architect Isaac D. Reynolds, this thoughtfully maintained residence blends the grace of the past with the comforts of modern living. Step inside to find soaring ceilings, original scalloped wood moldings, and one of three striking slate mantles that hint at the brownstone's storied past. The apartment features a spacious living room with oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere for both relaxing and entertaining. The bedroom easily accommodates a queen-size bed and offers generous closet space. The kitchen has been tastefully updated and includes modern appliances, ample cabinetry, and space for a dining nook. The bathroom is clean and stylish, with contemporary fixtures and plenty of storage. This home is perfect for anyone seeking a serene living space with historic character in a vibrant neighborhood. The building itself has been nearly gut-renovated (in 2004) and continuously improved over the years, including a newly installed water heater and a well-maintained roof. Outside your door, enjoy the best of Bedford-Stuyvesant. You're just a short walk to the J train at Kosciuszko Street, with easy access to the express A/C lines at Utica Avenue. Herbert Von King Park and Jesse Owens Playground are just blocks away, offering lush green space, recreational facilities, and community events.
