Classic townhouse charm meets thoughtfully updated living at 265 Putnam Avenue. Set on a 20-foot-wide lot along a picturesque Bedford-Stuyvesant block, this Federal-style townhouse offers approximately 2,400 square feet, with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The property is currently zoned as a single-family home and is being used as a two-family residence, with an owner’s duplex and a separate two-bedroom unit on the top floor. Recent improvements include a Mitsubishi mini-split heating system and updated bathroom tile. A seasonal display of white hydrangeas welcomes you to the home. Inside, the garden level unfolds into an inviting, open-concept living and dining space, where exposed brick and a remote-controlled gas fireplace create a warm backdrop for everyday living. The kitchen features a center island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in wine refrigerator. A full bathroom, washer and dryer, and pre-wired speakers complete this level. Large French doors open to a beautifully designed backyard with multiple spaces to relax, dine, and entertain. The covered outdoor kitchen is equipped with a countertop burner, mini refrigerator, sink, and barbecue grill, while two main seating areas and smaller tucked-away nooks offer room to gather. A distinctive indoor-outdoor cabana with bifold glass doors, a ceiling fan, and a chandelier adds another inviting retreat. A custom wood staircase leads to the upper level of the owner’s duplex. The light-filled primary bedroom opens onto a private balcony overlooking the backyard and features an en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, a spacious separate shower, and a television integrated into the mirror. A second bedroom with a grand double-door entrance, hardwood floors, custom closets, and a half bathroom round out this floor. The top floor spans approximately 800 square feet and is currently configured as a separate two-bedroom residence. Exposed brick, a skylight, a renovated bathroom, and an in-unit washer and dryer complement its spacious layout. With the restaurants, cafés, bars, and neighborhood shops of Nostrand and Bedford Avenues close by, along with Herbert Von King Park and access to the A, C, G, and S subway lines, 265 Putnam Avenue brings together generous interiors, distinctive architectural details, and exceptional outdoor living.
