Description

A rare fusion of historic Brooklyn architecture and meticulous modern design. Originally built in 1901 and transformed in 2025, 126 Washington Avenue is an exceptional single-family townhouse offering nearly 4,000 square feet of refined interior living space and more than 1,300 square feet of private outdoor environments across five impeccably finished levels. Set on a picturesque block just moments from Fort Greene Park, this turnkey residence has been fully rebuilt and reimagined for today's lifestyle with timeless character of its classic redbrick facade.

Inside, the home unfolds with a sense of openness and quiet luxury. Sunlight fills each floor through custom floor-to-ceiling glazing, illuminating European white oak herringbone flooring and elevating the home's sophisticated palette of natural stone, warm wood, and curated designer fixtures. A sculptural central staircase anchors the interior while providing an unexpected vertical garden moment that brings softness and greenery to the heart of the home.

Enter into a welcoming sequence of spaces designed for gathering and everyday living. The generous chef's kitchen impresses with Calacatta stone surfaces, custom cabinetry, and a suite of integrated Thermador and Bertazzoni appliances. An inviting dining area transitions seamlessly to a serene backyard framed by lush planters, a patio for dining and entertaining, and a dedicated grilling station-an outdoor escape rare for this location.

The second level, with its grand proportions and tall ceilings, functions as a sophisticated entertaining floor, offering a formal living room with terrace access and a fully outfitted wet bar. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or large celebrations, the layout allows for effortless flow indoors and out. An en-suite guest bedroom on this level provides comfort and privacy for visitors, creating an ideal separation between entertaining spaces and sleeping quarters.

The third floor serves as a tranquil private retreat. The full-floor primary suite includes a king-size sleeping area, sunlit terrace, custom walk-in closets, and a spa-level bathroom finished in vein-cut travertine with radiant heat, a floating double vanity, brushed gold accents, a freestanding soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower.

Two additional bedroom suites occupy the upper level, each beautifully finished with bespoke tilework, radiant-heated floors, and generous closet space. A laundry room with side-by-side machines and utility sink adds convenience. Crowning the home is a landscaped roof terrace-an elevated sanctuary for lounging, planting, or taking in open-sky views above the treetops.Additional features include integrated Sonos speakers, triple-pane windows along the rear facade for exceptional quiet and energy efficiency, prewiring for motorized shades and security, radiant heating in select areas, and extensive custom millwork throughout.

Ideally positioned between historic Fort Greene Park and Clinton Hill's celebrated dining, cafes, shopping, and cultural institutions, 126 Washington Avenue represents the finest in contemporary townhouse living-thoughtfully designed, beautifully executed, and ready for its next chapter.
