Welcome to 256 Putnam Avenue, Penthouse - a brand-new, floor-through duplex penthouse offering nearly 1,700 square feet of elevated indoor-outdoor living in an intimate boutique four-unit condominium, perfectly positioned where Bedford-Stuyvesant meets Clinton Hill.

Both bedrooms are generously sized, south-facing, and located at the rear of the building, offering abundant sunlight and a serene, pin-drop-quiet setting - ideal for restful nights, remote work, or guests.

The crown jewel of this home is the expansive private rooftop terrace - over 900 square feet of open-air living designed for unforgettable entertaining, gardening, yoga, or peaceful mornings and sunset evenings under the stars. With sweeping skyline views, it is a true urban sanctuary above Brooklyn's tree-lined streets.
