Property Description
Charming Renovated Two-Family Townhouse on a Tree-Lined Block in Bedford-Stuyvesant
Welcome to 696 Lexington Avenue, a beautifully renovated historic two-family townhouse nestled on a picturesque tree-lined block in Bedford-Stuyvesant. This three-story residence seamlessly combines classic architectural charm with modern living, featuring five stunning decorative original fireplaces, a meticulously restored historic wooden handrail, and solid oak wood floors throughout.
Owner's Duplex with Private Cellar Access
The owner's duplex spans the parlor and upper floors, offering a bright and spacious open-plan living and dining area on the parlor level. With nearly 10-foot ceilings and rich oak floors, this inviting space is enhanced by two decorative original fireplaces. Sunlight pours in through expansive north-facing windows at the front and south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows at the back, where a glass door opens onto a private deck and backyard.
The chef's kitchen is a dream for entertainers, featuring Bertazzoni appliances, generous counter space, a central island with seating, and ample cabinetry—perfect for hosting gatherings.
Upstairs, the sunlit top floor is highlighted by multiple skylights, offering two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a versatile nursery or home office. The primary suite, overlooking the tranquil backyard, boasts a spacious walk-in closet, an additional side closet, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a skylit walk-in shower. Solid oak floors continue throughout this level, adding warmth and elegance.
The internal staircase leads to a fully finished cellar with approximately 6'6” ceiling height, providing a flexible space ideal for a TV room, play area, or additional storage.
Renovated Income-Generating Garden Apartment
The ground level features a generously sized one-bedroom, one-bathroom rental unit, perfect for generating additional income. This unit combines historic charm with modern convenience, showcasing a decorative fireplace, solid oak flooring, a king-sized bedroom with a walk-in closet, a contemporary kitchen with stainless steel appliances, an in-unit washer/dryer combo, split heating and cooling, and direct backyard access.
Prime Location in Bedford-Stuyvesant
Situated just minutes from the express J train at the Kosciuszko stop, this townhouse offers easy access to Manhattan and is steps away from Malcolm X Boulevard's bustling scene, with a variety of grocery stores, popular restaurants, and cafes—including the neighborhood favorite, Passionfruit Coffee.
*Total sqft includes finished cellar.
Don't miss the opportunity to own this remarkable blend of historic character and modern luxury in one of Brooklyn's most vibrant neighborhoods.
