Maranasan ang Brownstone living na hindi pa nararanasan dati. Maliwanag na puti at punung-puno ng liwanag — ang 137 Decatur Street ay kayang maging sleek ngunit rustic, mapayapa ngunit nakapagpapasigla, malawak ngunit malapit — at masaya ngunit may layunin. Puno ng mga kustom na artistikong tampok, maghanda nang magalak!

Ang legal na apat na pamilya, apat na palapag na Queen Anne townhome ay na-configure bilang isang lower duplex plus cellar na may tatlong yunit ng paupahan sa itaas na dalawang palapag. Ang parlor floor ay isang loft-like open space na naalis sa mga pangunahing elemento na may nakalantad na mga beam sa buong bahay na nagdadala ng init, at nakalantad na ladrilyo na pininturahan ng puti. Ang mga sahig ay ang orihinal na subfloors na pinahiran ng puting epoxy paint para sa pinakamataas na pagmuni. Ang pangkalahatang epekto ay maliwanag at ethereal. Ang living area ay pinagsaluhan ng isang gumaganang brick fireplace at dalawang oversized na bintana na nakaharap sa timog. Papaliko sa likod ay isang bangko ng 16 na curved custom bookshelves na sumasakop sa buong gitnang bahagi ng sahig. Ang harap ng cabinets ay maaaring alisin upang ipakita ang mga nilalaman o maaari mong panatilihin ang sleek white theme na intact. Sa kabuuan ng espasyo ay isang custom curvy full bath.

Paglipat sa kusina, ang likurang pader ng parlor ay gawa sa salamin mula sahig hanggang kisame na nagbubukas sa nakamamanghang deck at zen garden na may natural stone swimming pool. Ang kusina mismo ay tumatakbo sa haba ng kanlurang pader na may mga all-white designer appliances, vented hood at washer/dryer. Ang cabinetry sa pader ay custom-designed upang maging mga exclamation points na ginagawang mas kapana-panabik ang iyong umagang kape! Isang pangalawang gumaganang fireplace ang nagpapa-init sa espasyo.

Ang mas mababang bahagi ng duplex ay maliwanag at bukas din na may pininturang nakalantad na ladrilyo at sahig, at mga nakalantad na wood beams sa buong bahay. Habang ang buong antas ay maaaring gamitin bilang isang marangyang pangunahing silid-tulugan, ang lugar ng den ay maaari ring gamitin bilang pangalawang silid-tulugan. Isang full bath at walk-in closet ang kumukumpleto sa espasyo. Lumabas sa likuran para sa isang summer kitchen at access sa mapayapang natural garden. Ang natapos na cellar ay may masayang half bath at isang bihirang walk-out sa garden na ginagawang tunay na karagdagang espasyo para sa pamumuhay.

Ang tatlong yunit ng paupahan ay na-configure bilang isang apartment na buong palapag at dalawang yunit sa ikatlong palapag. Ang mga ito ay pininturahan ng puti at pinananatili ang ilang orihinal na architectural details tulad ng mga moldura ng bintana at isang maganda at kahoy na mantika na may tile.

Ang 137 Decatur Street ay hindi mabilang na nakuha sa mga ad campaign at artikulo sa magasin. Ito ay matatagpuan ilang hakbang mula sa A/C train, malapit sa pinakamahusay na inaalok ng Bedford Stuyvesant tulad ng Peaches, Saraghina Bakery at Restaurant, Je T'aime Patisserie, Brooklyn Tea, Zaca Cafe, Natty Garden, Daphne's, Corto at marami pang iba.

Experience Brownstone living like never before. Bright white and bathed in light — 137 Decatur Street manages to be both sleek yet rustic, peaceful yet stimulating, expansive yet intimate — and whimsical yet purposeful. Packed with custom artful features, prepare to be delighted!

This legal four-family, four-story Queen Anne townhome is configured as a lower duplex plus cellar with three rental units on the top two floors. The parlor floor is a loft-like open space taken down to the raw basics with exposed beams throughout adding warmth, and exposed brick painted white. The floors are the original subfloors coated in white epoxy paint for maximum light reflection. The overall effect is bright and ethereal. The living area is blessed with a working brick fireplace and two south-facing oversized windows. Moving towards the back is a bank of 16 curved custom bookshelves covering the entire midsection of the floor. The face of the cabinets can be removed to expose the contents or you can keep the sleek white theme intact. Across the space is a custom curvy full bath.

Moving into the kitchen, the rear parlor wall is floor-to-ceilng glass opening onto the spectacular deck and zen garden with a natural stone swimming pool. The kitchen itself runs the length of the western wall with all-white designer appliances, vented hood and washer/dryer. The wall cabinetry is custom-designed to be exclamation points making your morning coffee that much more exhilarating! A second working fireplace warms up the space.

The lower area of the duplex is also bright and open with painted exposed brick and floors, and exposed wood beams throughout. While the entire level can easily be used as a luxurious primary bedroom suite, the den area may also be used as a second bedroom. A full bath and walk-in closet complete the space. Walk out back for a summer kitchen and access to the peaceful natural garden. The finished cellar features a whimsical half bath and a rare walk-out to the garden which makes this true extra living space.

The three rental units are configured as a forth floor floor-through apartment and two units on the third floor. They have also been white-washed and retain some original architectural details such as window moldings and a lovely wood and tile mantle.

137 Decatur Street has been celebrated in innumerable ad campaigns and magazine articles. It is located steps from the A/C trains, near the best that Bedford Stuyvesant has to offer such as Peaches, Saraghina Bakery and Restaurant, Je T'aime Patisserie, Brooklyn Tea, Zaca Cafe, Natty Garden, Daphne's, Corto and much much more.
