663 Putnam Avenue: Historic Brooklyn Elegance Reimagined
In Stuyvesant Heights' most picturesque district stands a masterful blend of nineteenth-century craftsmanship and modern luxury. This 19-foot-wide townhouse, designed by Joseph S. Stevens in 1899, has been impeccably renovated by its owner, a former Vogue editor, preserving historic details while introducing sophisticated contemporary elements.
The Owner's Triplex
Upon entry, nineteenth-century moldings create a striking contrast with modern light fixtures and marble accents beneath soaring 10-foot ceilings. The parlor floor flows seamlessly from an expansive living area to a dining space that leads to a chef's kitchen equipped with professional-grade appliances-perfect for entertaining. French doors open to a private terrace overlooking the landscaped garden with its customized putting green to work on your short game.
The second floor houses two generous bedrooms, each with en suite white marble bathrooms and original fireplaces. Crown moldings, oversized windows, and ample closet space create an atmosphere of refined comfort.
The third-floor master suite features white oak herringbone floors, a skylit marble bathroom with dual vanities, deep soaking tub, and rainfall shower. Adjacent spaces include a versatile room suitable as a fourth bedroom or home office, plus a walk-through windowed closet with custom storage.
Garden Unit
The garden level offers a bright, 1,000+ square-foot one-bedroom apartment with original hardwood floors, Bosch kitchen appliances, and in-unit laundry-ideal as guest accommodations or a lucrative rental opportunity.
This meticulously restored townhouse seamlessly blends architectural heritage with contemporary vision, offering versatile living in one of Brooklyn's most coveted historic neighborhoods.
