We’ll get right to it – you're onto a winner with this recently refurbished Brooklyn brownstone in the south of Bed Stuy. This neighbourhood is practically a city within Brooklyn and boasts the most extensive collection of Victorian architecture in the country. The home is just one block over from MacDonough Street, which competes annually in the Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest. In addition to being extremely pretty, each brownstone building has a rich cultural history and wandering the neighbourhoods is a delightful way to get to know your surroundings. With its uncluttered spaces, luxury finishes, and ultra-modern kitchen, this home from home offers the luxuries we all crave and some we didn't even know we needed. Exploring further afield couldn't be easier thanks to the proximity of the A/C train at Utica Ave & Kingston (a five-minute walk away), meaning you can be exploring Lower Manhattan or heading through passport control at JFK in around twenty-five minutes.
