Some homes are designed. This one was crafted — three years in the making, shaped by one of New York's most exciting residential architects, Kipp Chapman, and finished with the kind of care that only comes from building your own home.

• 3 full bathrooms (2 en-suites, one with bath) + powder room

Set on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, this architecturally renovated brownstone duplex (plus finished basement) unfolds across three stunning floors. Every detail — from the layout to the materials to the light — was considered with intention, balancing the original character of a historic brownstone with a crisp, European-influenced sensibility.

THE HOME
Sun pours into the full open-plan living floor, where an expansive kitchen, generous lounge, and formal dining area flow seamlessly from front to back.

Downstairs, two king-size bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom, with the primary featuring a walk-in wardrobe and a soaking bath. A third bedroom works equally well as a kids' room or dedicated home office, and a powder room serves the upstairs living floor.

The finished basement — with its own separate entrance, full bathroom, and shower — is ready for a home gym, studio, or private office.

Step outside to a designed backyard entertaining area with a deck and recycled bluestone paved patio. A quiet residential block, a real backyard, and Citibike 100 feet from the door.

THE LOCATION
Thirteen to fifteen minutes on foot to both the A/C express Utica and the J/M/Z Mrytle. Citibike right outside. A couple of blocks to Ghélinà and the best of Bed-Stuy's cafés, grocers, bars, and restaurants — walkable without being on top of it.

WHAT THE LANDLORD COVERS
Water, sewage, garbage, and snow clearing included.

This is a home someone loved building. It's ready for someone who'll love living in it.
