About the Listing 7222 - 52164
Welcome to 137 Putnam Avenue, a rare and generous 25-foot-wide, two-family property set on a 100-foot-deep lot, perfectly positioned on tree-lined block where Clinton Hill meets Bedford-Stuyvesant. Thoughtfully renovated about 12 years ago and well-maintained, this elegant residence seamlessly blends classic Brooklyn charm with modern comfort. Configured as a gracious and well appointed owner’s duplex and a spacious two-bedroom top floor rental, this home offers both refined living and excellent income potential. The owner’s duplex unfolds across the garden and parlor levels, designed with an emphasis on light, space, and effortless flow. The garden level presents an open-concept layout: a thoughtfully designed chef’s kitchen overlooking the lush garden, a generous dining area ideal for entertaining, and a sunlit living room at the front of the home adjacent to a private entrance. A powder room and dedicated laundry room add convenience to this level. Upstairs, the parlor floor impresses with soaring 9.5-foot ceilings, rich oak hardwood flooring, and an abundance of natural light. The serene and spacious primary suite is facing the tranquil garden and features dual closets and a spa-like en-suite bath with an oversized shower. Two additional bedrooms, both with ample closet space share a full bathroom with a soaking tub. The top-floor residence, accessible via a separate entrance above the stoop, is equally inviting. This well-kept apartment offers two peaceful garden-facing bedrooms, a full bath with a tub and a bright, expansive living and dining area bathed in natural light. The open kitchen comes with a dishwasher, gas stove and microwave, while an in-unit washer and dryer enhance everyday ease. The semi-finished basement provides additional flexibility and houses updated mechanical systems, all in excellent condition. Each unit benefits from its own gas boiler and water heater, and the home’s electrical system has been fully upgraded. Ideally located, moments from the vibrant dining and cultural scene along Franklin Avenue, this townhouse offers the perfect balance of tranquility and connectivity with the nearby access to the C train providing an easy commute to Manhattan, in addition to the elevated Shuttle. Additionally, the LIRR at the Nostrand Avenue station (approximately a 10-minute walk away) is providing access to the City Terminal Zone and various Long Island branches. Last but not least, this unicorn comes with a huge amount of FAR (approximately 2,250 sf). Check the final number with your architect, but you can basically double the buildable area up to 5,000 sf. Property will be delivered vacant at closing. First open house: Saturday, May 9 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM No appointment necessary and no showings before the first open house.
