Welcome to 659 Putnam, an exquisitely renovated floor-through condo in a quintessential Brooklyn brownstone!
This home was meticulously renovated by the homeowner and his wife - a chef and interior designer - having their dream home in mind. Every detail reflects their passion for beautiful, functional living, from the smart home technology and wifi-enabled lights to the automatic custom blinds that bathe the space in southern facing natural light through the bay windows.
The heart of this home is the dream chef's kitchen, featuring a professional Wolf stove that any culinary enthusiast will adore. A custom-built white oak bar creates the perfect spot for entertaining, while custom California Closets in each room ensure that storage is both abundant and beautifully organized.
659 Putnam is centrally located on one of Bedford Stuyvesant's most beautiful tree-lined streets. You're just steps from beloved neighborhood favorites like Saraghina and Lunatico, although al fresco dining on your private deck will likely be your first choice.
The home comes equipped with split heating/AC units in each room for efficient utilities and an in-unit full sized washer and dryer.
This is the perfect home for someone seeking something beyond the cookie-cutter, cheap finishes of huge developments. This is a real home for real people - thoughtfully designed, lovingly crafted.
