Traditional details merge seamlessly with modern upgrades in this newly renovated 2-family townhouse in Bedford-Stuyvesant. With 3-zoned central A/C, new windows, new appliances, washer and dryer, and new separate boilers and hot water heaters, both units have been updated with modern amenities. Through a bluestone and landscaped front entrance, the owners duplex begins on the garden level with an open living, kitchen and dining area. Exposed brick details, picture-frame molding, and elegant, 7 1/2 tall baseboards, and dark hardwood floors add warmth to the large, open plan living space that leads out to the garden. The windowed kitchen offers abundant counter space and cabinet storage, plus a peninsula with counter seating. White Carrara-patterned quartz countertops and backspash add elegance. Stainless steel appliances include a Fisher and Paykel French-door refrigerator, a vented gas range, dishwasher, and wine refrigerator. A discreetly hidden laundry room and a powder room complete the floor's conveniences. The basement can hold tons of storage. Upstairs, 98 ceilings and oversized windows light up three large bedrooms. The comfortable master suite features an elegant, marble-tiled ensuite bath with a walk-in, glass shower with rain showerhead and handheld showerhead. The second and third bedroom are each large enough to fit a queen-sized bed. The junior bathroom features stylish gray tonal tiles and a tub with a rain showerhead and handheld showerhead. The separate 2 BR, 1 BA third-floor rental has been designed to produce a substantial income, with A/C and washer/dryer. Up a flight of ebony-stained stairs from a granite-tiled entrance, the open living/kitchen area features hardwood floors and tall ceilings. In addition to plenty of modern, white cabinets, white Carrara-patterned quartz countertops and backplash, and a deep, stainless sink, the kitchen features Samsung stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, 5-burner range with vented hood, and a Frigidaire dishwasher. The two bedrooms are comfortably sized with good storage.
