About This Home

242 Albany Avenue

Welcome to 242 Albany Avenue, a brand new gut renovated two family townhouse situated on a landmarked block in the heart of Crown Heights. Spanning approximately 2,525 interior square feet with an additional 1,214 square feet of exterior space, this residence combines thoughtful design, modern comfort and historic Brooklyn character.

The owner's duplex showcases wide plank white oak floors, exposed brick, and a floating glass staircase that creates an elegant and cohesive architectural statement. The parlor level features an open living and dining area that transitions seamlessly into a beautifully appointed U shaped kitchen. This bright and inviting space is designed for effortless everyday living as well as comfortable entertaining. From the kitchen, double doors lead to a private deck that flows to a tranquil garden, offering a peaceful outdoor retreat suited for both gatherings and quiet relaxation. Southeast facing windows bring abundant sunlight into the living and kitchen areas throughout the day.

The second level of the duplex features ceilings that rise to nearly ten feet. Here you will find a spacious primary bedroom complete with an en suite bathroom with dual sinks. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bathroom and a dedicated laundry station complete this thoughtfully planned floor.

The lower level of the duplex includes a versatile recreation room with a half bathroom and substantial storage options, making it ideal for a variety of lifestyle needs.

The garden level hosts a well appointed two bedroom, one bathroom rental unit with direct access to the backyard. This space provides excellent income potential or flexibility for extended living arrangements.

Additional highlights include white oak hardwood flooring, restored exposed brick, a striking glass staircase integrated into the living area, and a double door entry that enhances the home's presence on this historic block.

Nearby attractions include Brower Park, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, Barboncino, Basil, Mayfield, Catfish, Glady's and Café Cotton Bean.
