About this home
<p>Welcome to 551 Lexington Avenue, a turn of the century Italianate rowhouse that reflects Brooklyn living at its finest. Rich in detail and timeless character, this distinguished 19th century residence embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of classic townhouse living. Ornate picture moldings, restored finishes, and thoughtfully preserved details lend the home a sense of warmth and authenticity throughout.</p><p>A covered porch entry leads into the main level, where the living space unfolds with exceptional scale and natural light. Anchoring the room is a beautifully restored original wood burning marble fireplace and mantel, serving as both a focal point and a reflection of the home's historic character. Hardwood floors reclaimed from the former Sunshine Biscuits factory in Long Island City have been masterfully restored and span the entirety of the first and second levels.</p><p>The windowed kitchen is designed with both function and refinement in mind, appointed with a suite of professional Bertazzoni appliances, including a five-burner gas range, refrigerator, and dishwasher. A striking waterfall stone island encased in honed Brilliant Black Quartzite offers additional preparation space and seating, while custom built-in shelving throughout the level provides both utility and an elegant backdrop for display and design.</p><p>Positioned at the rear of the main level is a flexible bedroom or home office complete with an en-suite bath and direct access to the private backyard. The bathroom is distinguished by a restored barn door with original mechanisms reclaimed from an Upstate New York farmhouse, as well as a stained glass window repurposed from a historic church, introducing a rare and artful architectural moment into the space.</p><p>Fully integrated speakers bring the entire main level of the home to life and extend seamlessly into the rear yard through a dedicated outdoor sound system, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Thoughtfully reimagined, the outdoor space is finished with cobblestone hardscaping, natural grass, and mature landscaping, offering a rare sense of tranquility and greenery in the heart of Brooklyn.</p><p>Upstairs, the primary suite spans the full width of the townhouse, offering an expansive and tranquil retreat. An exposed brick wall adds texture and warmth, while a private terrace extends the living experience outdoors. The suite comfortably accommodates a king-sized bedroom set and is complemented by a walk-through closet and a designer en-suite bath illuminated by an overhead skylight that fills the space with soft natural light.</p><p>Beyond the primary suite is a well-appointed secondary bedroom featuring its own en-suite bath, complete with a deep soaking tub, radiant heated floors, and rainfall shower.</p><p>The finished lower level offers additional flexibility for a den, office, recreation space, or storage, complete with a full bath and access to the rear yard. Finished concrete flooring introduces a modern edge, while a GE vented washer and dryer complete the level.</p><p>Set in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, 551 Lexington Avenue is moments from some of the neighborhood's most acclaimed cafes and restaurants, including Chez Oskar, Trad Room, Peaches, KYO Brooklyn, and Saraghina Bakery.</p><p>Convenient access to the J/M/Z, G, and A/C subway lines allows for an easy commute throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan . 551 Lexington Avenue is more than a home; it is a thoughtfully restored piece of Brooklyn history, seamlessly blending modern comfort with timeless character and craftsmanship.</p>...
