Property Description
Located on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Putnam Avenue between Nostrand and Marcy Avenues, this grand three-story, two-family brownstone offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and an unparalleled level of detail and craftsmanship throughout. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully updated while honoring its architectural roots. The exterior's original character gives way to a beautifully restored interior, featuring refinished floors, a mahogany staircase, ornate plaster trim, Carrara marble fireplace surrounds, brass fittings, and functional antique service bells-all lovingly preserved or restored. The entire home has been repainted from top to bottom, with plaster work completed throughout, and most interior doors and frames have been replaced for a refined, cohesive look. Step into the parlor-level duplex through a newly retiled foyer and be greeted by soaring 10-foot ceilings and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The formal living room is anchored by an original decorative limestone fireplace, setting the tone for gracious entertaining. Pocket doors lead to a spacious dining area that flows effortlessly into the chef's kitchen-completely transformed by removing a rear wall to create an open-concept layout. The kitchen features high-end Caf appliances, custom wood cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, a large central island, and an Aquasana water filtration system. A brand-new Bosch 500 Series dishwasher (installed in 2024) ensures modern convenience. Upstairs, the second floor features two generously sized, sun-filled bedrooms and two beautifully gut-renovated bathrooms. The serene primary suite is anchored by a restored decorative fireplace and includes a spa-like en-suite bath with a refinished antique clawfoot tub-perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. The second bedroom overlooks the peaceful rear garden, offering a quiet retreat. Both bedrooms are connected by a customized walk-through closet system, providing ample storage and seamless functionality. The second bathroom is equally luxurious, showcasing a glass-enclosed shower and thoughtfully selected fixtures from Signature Hardware and Schoolhouse, enhancing the elevated design throughout. The garden level, accessible via an interior staircase, has been completely reimagined with a full reconfiguration. The back bedroom now features exposed original brick, new French doors, and larger windows that bring in abundant natural light. A brand-new bathroom, along with new appliances and fixtures throughout, makes this two-bedroom unit ideal as an income-producing apartment or in-law suite. The hallway has been refinished with fresh paint, plaster, and recessed lighting, while custom white oak stairs connect the garden level to the parlor above. The basement is newly finished with ceramic tile flooring, double fire-rated sheetrock walls, and a full French drain and sump pump system-along with waterproofed masonry walls that have remained completely dry, even during the heaviest rains. A new washer/dryer and updated utility systems make this space as functional as it is clean.
Additional upgrades include:
Custom Pella Architectural Series wood windows (Low-E, double-pane, sound-blocking, 2025)
New 75-gallon water heater with 10-year warranty (2025) Refinished extension roof with black asphalt coating (warranty through 2032)
Roof hatch replaced with a heavy-duty steel model and vented skylight
Outdoor teak decking and planters added in 2024 Backyard extensively groomed, with old structures removed and planters installed
Lighting, plumbing, and electrical systems updated throughout the home Stair risers from parlor to second floor replaced
Lead paint remediation and full repainting with zero-VOC encapsulant (2023).
Located just moments from neighborhood favorites like Peaches HotHouse, Warude, Sincerely Tommy, Bed-Vyne Brew, and Daphne's-and close to Von King Park-this home is surrounded by the best of Brooklyn. Transportation options abound with the A/C and G trains and the B26 bus nearby. 292 Putnam Avenue is a rare blend of heritage and high design-offering timeless elegance, modern comfort, and a move-in-ready lifestyle in one of Brooklyn's most vibrant communities.
