Description

584 Jefferson Avenue is an elegant single-family, four-story home bedecked in architectural details from top to bottom, retaining just about every embellishment it was built with in 1892 — all in prime condition. Equipped with all the comforts of a modern home, including central HVAC throughout, you'll want for nothing in this quintessential Brooklyn Brownstone.

Civilized living is the essence of the grand double-parlor. The formal front parlor with its original decorative mantle, pocket doors, original door, window trim, and plaster moldings is the perfect backdrop for entertaining. Another set of pocket doors leads into the rear parlor — a casual-lux den featuring a striking mantel and original window and door moldings, with the addition of a modern, custom-built media cabinet and wet bar. Access your private deck directly off the rear parlor, leading into the backyard.

While the parlor floor may be the lounging heart of the home, the garden level is the soul. The dedicated dining room is a dinner-party-dream with waist-high wainscoting framing yet another mantle with original tile and over-mirror. The large eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, classic cabinetry, and Samsung stainless steel appliances such as the Family Hub refrigerator with built-in TV, range, and dishwasher — all cleverly built around the original Victorian stove — now a decorative centerpiece to this inviting space. Grab a book and cup of coffee on a sunny day and relax in the south-facing sunroom just off the kitchen, opening up to the backyard. You'll also find steps away from the kitchen, a recently renovated full bath for your convenience.

The top two floors feature five bedrooms and two full baths. Each of the large bedrooms contains its own original mantel, for a total of seven mantels throughout the house. Modernized versions of the original passthrough dressing areas remain in place on the third floor. All three baths are uniquely modern with a Victorian attitude. The top floor offers a convenient laundry room.

584 Jefferson Avenue is ideally located in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights. It’s a short walk to the A/C lines down Stuyvesant Avenue and a stone’s throw from the best that Bed Stuy has to offer, such as the Macon Public Library, Natty Garden, Saraghina, Peaches, Zaca Café, Bar LunAtico, the Michelin-reviewed L’Antagoniste, Halsey Traders Market and many other establishments in burgeoning Bedford Stuyvesant.
