Description

Originally constructed in 1899, 826 Putnam Avenue is a thoughtfully renovated four-story, two-family brownstone that blends historic character with contemporary design and modern functionality. The property offers approximately six bedrooms plus a home office, five full bathrooms, and two powder rooms, along with a large parlor-level deck and an expansive south-facing garden.

From the tiled foyer to the carefully selected finishes throughout, the home reflects a detailed and cohesive renovation. The upper triplex residence is configured as a four-bedroom plus home office with three full bathrooms and two powder rooms.

Upon entering, a wide staircase and warm foyer lead to the parlor level, where generous proportions and natural light define the space. The living area flows into a dedicated dining space with built-in shelving and an open kitchen overlooking the garden through a full-glass rear facade. A powder room is discreetly positioned on this level for added convenience.

Designed with both functionality and style in mind, the kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island, a farmhouse sink, a secondary prep sink, and extensive pantry storage. The Bosch appliance package includes an integrated French-door refrigerator, a six-burner range with pot filler, an integrated dishwasher, and a microwave drawer.

The upper floors contain four bedrooms, a home office, and three full bathrooms across two levels. The primary level is dedicated to the primary suite and features a spacious south-facing bedroom overlooking the garden, along with a separate beverage station complete with a built-in sink and refrigerator. This floor also includes a large dressing and closet area, a dedicated office, and an en-suite bathroom finished with warm tile, a double vanity, a glass-enclosed shower, and a deep soaking tub.

The top floor features three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including one en-suite bedroom. This level also includes a dedicated laundry area with a washer and dryer and utility sink connections, adding everyday convenience and functionality.

The finished lower level is accessible via an interior staircase and includes tile flooring, a powder room, and flexible bonus space suitable for recreation, workspace, storage, or studio use.

The separate garden-level two-bedroom, two-bath residence with a washer and dryer offers additional flexibility and may be utilized for a variety of permitted uses, including supplemental rental income, guest accommodations, or extended occupancy arrangements.

Located in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights, the home is surrounded by a vibrant mix of neighborhood restaurants, cafés, and local gathering spots, including L’Antagoniste, Saraghina, Chez Oskar, Peaches, Bar LunÀtico, Trad Room, and Milk & Pull. Nearby green spaces include Herbert Von King Park, Saratoga Park, and Fulton Park, which offer recreational amenities including playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, and open green space.
