Welcome to 597 Jefferson Ave, Unit 1.

Occupying the parlor and garden floors of a classic Bed-Stuy brownstone, this sprawling three-bedroom, two-bath duplex pairs historic soul with modern comfort. Beautifully preserved original details meet a private backyard, all on the second greenest block in all of Brooklyn, with a community garden right across the street.

The parlor level features original woodwork, one of two decorative fireplaces, inlaid parquet floors, and an ornate fretwork divider, along with a full bathroom. The flexible layout offers three bedrooms, or two bedrooms plus a living room, with plenty of room for separate living, dining, sleeping, and work-from-home areas.

Downstairs, the garden level has its own separate entryway with bonus storage tucked underneath the stoop. A living room offers flexible space that can easily double as a dining room, framed by beautiful woodwork around the built-in China cabinets and a second decorative fireplace. The spacious kitchen features generous cabinetry, a dishwasher, pantry storage, a tin ceiling, and an original built-in cupboard, while an in-unit washer and dryer, ample storage, and a second full bathroom round out the level.

Step directly outside to your private backyard, with plenty of room for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing — and no shortage of potential for anyone with a green thumb to make it their own.

Set on one of Bed-Stuy's most picturesque, tree-lined blocks — officially the second greenest in Brooklyn — you're just steps from the community garden, along with neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shops, and transportation.

With a private backyard, a separate garden-level entry with under-stoop storage, two full floors, in-unit laundry, and classic Brooklyn brownstone character, this home has it all. Reach out for more information.
