Itinayo noong 1901 at masterfully na muling inisip para sa modernong pamumuhay, ang 292 Putnam Avenue ay isang bihirang alok na pinagsasama ang masusing pangangalaga sa kasaysayan at marangyang makabagong mga pag-upgrade. Matatagpuan sa isang tahimik, punungkahoy na piraso ng Putnam Avenue sa pagitan ng Nostrand at Marcy Avenues, ang grandeng tatlong palapag, dalawang-pamilyang brownstone na ito ay nag-aalok ng 4 na silid-tulugan, 3 buong banyo, at isang walang kaparis na antas ng detalye at sining sa buong tahanan. Bawat pulgada ng bahay na ito ay maingat na na-update habang iginagalang ang mga ugat nitong arkitektural. Ang orihinal na karakter ng panlabas ay nagbibigay daan sa isang maganda at naayos na panloob, na nagtatampok ng mga pinagsamang sahig, isang hagdang bakal na mahogany, masalimuot na plaster trim, Carrara marble na paligid ng tsimenea, brass fittings, at mga functional na antique service bells—lahat ay maingat na napanatili o naibalik. Ang buong tahanan ay muling pininturahan mula itaas hanggang ibaba, kasama ang tapos na plaster work sa buong tahanan, at karamihan sa mga panloob na pinto at frame ay pinalitan para sa isang pinong, magkakaugnay na hitsura. Pumasok sa parlor-level duplex sa pamamagitan ng isang bagong natiles na foyer at salubungin ng umuusbong na 10-talampakang kisame at malalaking bintana na nagbibigay liwanag sa espasyo ng natural na liwanag. Ang pormal na sala ay itinataguyod ng isang orihinal na pandekorasyong limestone na tsimenea, na nagtatakda ng tono para sa magiliw na pagtanggap. Ang mga pocket doors ay nagdudugtong sa isang maluwang na dining area na dumadaloy ng walang kahirap-hirap sa kitchen ng chef—ganap na binago sa pamamagitan ng pagtanggal ng likurang dingding upang lumikha ng isang open-concept layout. Ang kusina ay nagtatampok ng mga de-kalidad na appliance mula sa Caf, pasadahang gabinete na gawa sa kahoy, kumikislap na granite countertops, isang malaking sentrong isla, at isang Aquasana water filtration system. Isang bagong Bosch 500 Series dishwasher (na na-install noong 2024) ang nagsisiguro ng modernong kaginhawaan. Sa itaas, ang ikalawang palapag ay nagtatampok ng dalawang maluwang, maaraw na silid-tulugan at dalawang maganda at ganap na na-remodel na banyo. Ang tahimik na pangunahing suite ay itinataguyod ng isang naibalik na pandekorasyong tsimenea at kasama ang isang spa-like na en-suite bath na may naayos na antique clawfoot tub—perpekto para sa pagpapahinga sa pagtatapos ng araw. Ang pangalawang silid-tulugan ay bumubukas sa tahimik na likurang hardin, na nag-aalok ng isang tahimik na pahingahan. Ang parehong silid-tulugan ay konektado ng isang pasadyang walk-through closet system, na nagbibigay ng sapat na imbakan at seamless na pag-andar. Ang pangalawang banyo ay gayundin ay marangya, na nagtatampok ng glass-enclosed shower at maingat na piniling fixtures mula sa Signature Hardware at Schoolhouse, na nagpapahusay sa mataas na disenyo sa buong tahanan. Ang lebel ng hardin, na maaabot sa pamamagitan ng isang panloob na hagdang-bakal, ay ganap na muling inisip na may buong reconfiguration. Ang likurang silid-tulugan ay ngayon nagtatampok ng nakabukas na orihinal na ladrilyo, bagong French doors, at mas malalaking bintana na nagdadala ng saganang natural na liwanag. Isang bagong banyo, kasama ang mga bagong appliances at fixtures sa buong bahay, ang ginagawang perpekto ang yunit na ito na may dalawang silid-tulugan bilang isang apartment na nagbubunga ng kita o in-law suite. Ang mahabang pasilyo ay na-refinish na may bagong pintura, plaster, at recessed lighting, habang ang mga custom white oak na hagdan ay nag-uugnay sa lebel ng hardin patungo sa parlor sa itaas. Ang basement ay bagong tapos na na may ceramic tile flooring, double fire-rated sheetrock walls, at isang buong French drain at sump pump system—kasama ang waterproofed masonry walls na nanatiling tuyo, kahit na sa pinakamabigat na ulan. Isang bagong washer/dryer at updated utility systems ang ginagawang kasing functional ng linis ng espasyo na ito.
