About This Home
As of April 2024678 Decatur St was originally constructed in 1910. This newly renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details, an honorable salute to its past. This 20-foot wide, two-family townhouse features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, a large parlor deck, and an expansive backyard garden. From wide plank oak floors to original doors and restored wood trimming, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home. As you enter the owner’s three-bedroom duplex, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer and an original door. Stepping into a 45-foot parlor, you realize the breadth of space as the 10.5-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the right, the formal living room area is great for entertaining and has a working fireplace. To the left, is a large dining area and thoughtfully designed powder room. In the back, your kitchen features a four-seat island, custom cabinetry, and quartz countertops with floor to ceiling windows leading to the large deck. With a farmhouse sink and a full complement of appliances including an integrated Bosch refrigerator, Wolf six-burner stove, integrated Bosch dishwasher, and microwave drawer, this kitchen is a chef’s dream. Upstairs you find three bedrooms and two full baths. The elegant, south facing primary bedroom overlooks the serene backyard gardens and features three windows and a large closet. The primary bath has marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, a large walk-in shower and an open linen closet. As you head down the hall, you pass the marble-tiled second bathroom adjacent to two comfortable bedrooms. The private basement can be accessed through an interior staircase and is finished with textured tile floors and a powder room. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, home office, or artist studio. The separate garden floor two-bedroom unit can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment. This masterfully re-imagined townhouse is located in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant. You are moments away from great dining establishments such as L’Antagoniste, Chez Oscar, Saraghina’s, and All Night Skate and several local parks that feature playgrounds, basketball courts, and tennis courts. Nearby public transportation includes the A/C or J/M trains and JFK is a short 20-minute drive away.
