Property Description

259 New York Avenue is a stunning Renaissance Revival townhouse nestled on one of Crown Heights' most picturesque landmark streets. This stately limestone residence spans over 4,000 square feet across three stories and a full basement, seamlessly blending historic grandeur with modern sophistication. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its rich architectural heritage, the home features intricate moldings, soaring ceilings, and gleaming hardwood floors, all enhanced by modern upgrades such as an upgraded electrical system and central air conditioning.

Designed for both comfort and elegance, the home offers five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a study, and multiple sunlit living areas. Oversized windows flood the interiors with natural light, highlighting the exquisite details throughout. A striking grand staircase serves as a breathtaking focal point, adding to the home's timeless charm. This extraordinary residence is a perfect balance of classic elegance and contemporary convenience.

The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, a culinary dream outfitted with high-end LG appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and designer lighting. From here, pop out onto a newly constructed backyard deck—an ideal setting for entertaining or unwinding in the open air.

The second floor is anchored by the luxurious primary suite, featuring custom closets, an en-suite bath, and a decorative fireplace. Two additional king-sized bedrooms complete this level. The third floor offers even more flexibility, with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a spacious laundry room for ultimate convenience.

A full basement provides ample storage and direct street access, enhancing the home's practicality. The property has undergone thoughtful updates while preserving its original character. Permits were pulled for an Alt-1 renovation to convert it into a single-family home, as well as an Alt-2 renovation for a two-family layout, though both permits were withdrawn. Electrical upgrades have been completed, including an AC installation, without the need for separate permits. No plumbing lines were moved, and no construction permits were required.

Located in the heart of Crown Heights, this home offers the best of Brooklyn at your doorstep—from the lush greenery of Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to the neighborhood's thriving dining and cultural scene. Commuting is effortless with easy access to the 3 train at Nostrand Avenue, the 2 and 5 trains at President Street, as well as nearby bus routes and Citi Bike stations.
