Sliding glass doors open to the parlor deck, which overlooks the beautifully designed backyard-perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
Upstairs, the south-facing primary bedroom offers a serene retreat, complete with two spacious closets and tranquil views of the garden. The en-suite bathroom is a spa-like sanctuary with marble-tiled floors, aloe green wall tiles, an elegant double vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and a skylight. This floor also features two additional bedrooms, a secondary bathroom with modern finishes, and the convenience of a washer/dryer.
The garden level offers a separate two-bedroom apartment with in-unit laundry, ideal for rental income or as an in-law suite. Below, the private basement-accessible via an interior staircase from the upper duplex-boasts high ceilings, tile flooring, and a powder room, making it an excellent space for a playroom, media lounge, or home gym.
Set on a vibrant block in Bedford-Stuyvesant, 668 Lexington Avenue is moments away from some of the neighborhood's best dining destinations, including Saraghina, L'Antagoniste, Passionfruit Coffee, and Peaches.
