The home at 471 Lexington Avenue in Bed Stuy has been gut renovated to combine the best in solid 19th century craftsmanship with modern features such as central air. Some of its most striking features are the picturesque Neo-Grec brownstone exterior and a rear wall of windows in a soaring two-story-high space.

The four-story, two-family brownstone is configured as an owner’s triplex over a garden rental. The triplex starts on the parlor floor, which is open plan, with a large living and dining area featuring two fireplaces.

At the rear is a large, open and luxurious kitchen replete with white cabinets, stone counters and stainless-steel appliances. The room has a soaring double-height ceiling and is illuminated by a full wall of windows.

This includes a door to the terrace, which has steps leading to the property’s large garden. It’s not difficult to imagine leisurely breakfasts on the balcony or large indoor-outdoor gatherings. There is also a powder room on this level.

On the floor above is a master suite with a 19-by-19-foot bedroom, a walk-in closet and a large, well-appointed bathroom. The latter has stone-tile walls, two sinks, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and a separate bathtub.

The top floor’s two bedrooms each have their own en suite bathroom. There is also a washer-dryer on this floor and access to the roof via the staircase.

The ground-floor unit has two bedrooms and two baths. It is also open plan, with living, dining and kitchen in one big room. The unit has its own washer-dryer and access to the backyard.

Located a block from Hubert Von King park, the house is close to the G train at the Bedford-Nostrand station, the Kosciuszko Pool, and shops and eateries on Nostrand and Bedford avenues.

Listed by Sara Golan, Joshua Golan and Ryan Serhant of Nest Seekers, the house is asking $2.75 million.
