About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to 475 Halsey, a beautifully renovated 1899 townhouse that effortlessly blends classic charm with modern luxury. This two-family brownstone boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, a spacious parlor deck, and a sprawling backyard garden. Every inch of this home exudes attention to detail, from the White Oak floors and original doors to the exposed brick that preserves the home’s rich history while offering high-end finishes and cutting-edge technology.

Upon entering the owner’s three-level, four-bedroom triplex, you are welcomed by a grand foyer with an original door. The expansive 42-foot parlor features soaring 10.5-foot ceilings, allowing natural light to pour through the open layout and a full glass wall at the back of the home. To your left, the formal living room offers intricate molding and a perfect space for entertaining. To the right, a large dining area and thoughtfully designed powder room provide function and style. The chef’s kitchen in the rear of the home is a true standout, featuring a three-seat island, custom cabinetry, and sleek quartz countertops. With premium appliances, including an integrated Bosch refrigerator, Wolf six-burner stove, Bosch dishwasher, and microwave drawer, this kitchen is designed for both form and function. The large glass double door leads out to a deck facing the serene backyard, perfect for dining al fresco.

The second floor houses two bedrooms and a full bath. The serene primary bedroom overlooks the lush backyard garden, with three windows and a spacious walkthrough closet. The ensuite bathroom is a sanctuary, with marble floors, a double vanity, and a glass-enclosed shower with dual rain showerheads. Toward the front, another large bedroom offers ample space and natural light. The top floor features two additional bedrooms, each with its own beautifully tiled bathroom and skylights that flood the space with daylight. An oversized laundry closet with vented washer and dryer completes this floor.

The private basement, accessed by an interior staircase, is finished with textured tile floors and a powder room. This versatile space can easily be transformed into a playroom, home office, or creative studio. The separate garden-floor one-bedroom unit offers endless possibilities, whether as an income-generating rental or a comfortable in-law apartment. With built-in sound systems and exposed brick, this home perfectly balances the best of old-world charm with the latest in modern living.

Located on a beautiful, tree-lined block in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights, you are moments from renowned dining spots like Saraghina, Peaches, Trad Room, and Laziza, as well as three local parks offering playgrounds, basketball courts, and tennis courts. Public transportation is a breeze with the A/C train at Utica, and JFK is just a 20-minute drive away. This re-imagined townhouse is a rare gem—offering luxury, convenience, and an unbeatable location.
