Description

Originally built in 1899, 768 Halsey Street has been meticulously transformed into a beautifully designed two-family townhouse that perfectly balances classic brownstone charm with modern sophistication. Spanning three stories plus a finished cellar, this stunning residence offers five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a finished basement, a spacious rear deck overlooking the private garden, and a roof deck.

The owner’s duplex welcomes you with wide-plank white oak floors and abundant northern and southern light, creating a warm and inviting space. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace—a rare and timeless feature. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, boasting marble countertops, custom cabinetry, an oversized sink, and top-of-the-line appliances: a six-burner Wolf gas range with pot filler, integrated Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. Glass double doors off the kitchen open onto a south-facing deck, ideal for entertaining or enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the landscaped garden.

Upstairs, you will find three bright bedrooms and two full baths. The top floor—illuminated by three skylights—is flooded with natural light throughout the day. The rear-facing primary suite offers a serene retreat with a wall of closets and a luxurious en-suite bath featuring a double vanity, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed rain shower. From here, enjoy the incredible bonus of direct access to your private rooftop deck.

The garden level is configured as a separate, thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with direct backyard access—perfect for rental income or hosting guests and extended family.

Nestled in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights, the home is surrounded by neighborhood favorites including Trad Room, Brooklyn Residency, and Chez Oskar for dining, Milk & Pull and Passionfruit Coffee for café culture, and Turtles All the Way Down and Therapy Wine Bar for evening drinks.

Conveniently located near the A and C trains, the home offers easy access across Brooklyn and into Manhattan. For travelers, JFK Airport is just a 30-minute drive away.

With central air conditioning, custom millwork, and timeless design details throughout, 768 Halsey Street is a turnkey residence that delivers on every front—ready to be lived in and loved for years to come. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
