Welcome to 737 Decatur Street, a newly reimagined 20-foot-wide townhouse where exceptional craftsmanship, generous proportions, and beautifully curated materials come together to create a home that feels both elevated and deeply livable. Spanning approximately 2,700 square feet, the residence is configured as a gracious owner's duplex above a private two-bedroom garden residence, offering five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, and remarkable flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. The owner's home unfolds across expansive, light-filled interiors where soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and a 20-foot-wide footprint create an extraordinary sense of openness. At 45 feet deep, the main level offers a scale rarely found in Brooklyn townhouses, yet every space feels warm, inviting, and intentionally designed for the rhythms of everyday living. At its center is a stunning chef's kitchen anchored by a sculptural waterfall marble island and surrounded by custom white oak cabinetry, integrated appliances, expansive stone surfaces, and thoughtfully incorporated built-ins. The kitchen flows naturally into the living and dining spaces before opening onto a full-width rear deck overlooking the private backyard, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The upper level is dedicated to three spacious bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with a generous walk-in closet and a beautifully executed marble bathroom. A freestanding soaking tub framed by a picture window, an oversized walk-in rain shower, a custom fluted double vanity, and floor-to-ceiling stone create a space that feels more boutique hotel than traditional townhouse. Two additional bedrooms are equally well-proportioned and served by another beautifully finished full bathroom. On the garden level, a private two-bedroom residence offers its own entrance, one-and-a-half bathrooms, an open living and dining area, a contemporary kitchen, and direct access to the landscaped backyard. Whether utilized as a high-quality rental, guest residence, or incorporated into a larger single-family layout, it has been designed with the same attention to detail as the owner's home above. Every finish throughout the residence has been selected with longevity in mind. Wide-plank white oak flooring, custom millwork, marble-clad bathrooms, designer lighting, oversized windows, and carefully considered storage solutions create interiors that feel timeless rather than trend-driven. The result is a home where architectural simplicity allows the quality of the materials and craftsmanship to take center stage. 737 Decatur Street offers something increasingly difficult to find: a home with genuine scale, premium finishes, and exceptional flexibility, all wrapped in an atmosphere that feels calm, welcoming, and effortlessly sophisticated. It's a residence designed not only to impress on first arrival, but to become even more appreciated through everyday living.

About Ocean
Hill
Ocean Hill, located between Broadway Junction and Highland Park, is a residential and industrial New York neighborhood with brick rowhouses and active rail corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Broadway Junction, where elevated tracks, bus bays, and corner bodegas meet takeout counters and small storefront services in a constant rush of motion. Local pillars include the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning (JCAL), Weeksville Heritage Center, and the historic Wyckoff House Museum nearby. Side streets shift to attached townhomes, modest porches, and pocket community gardens. Atlantic Avenue and Fulton Street bring long commercial stretches, while nearby parkland edges add breathing room. The street grid feels utilitarian and direct, shaped by transit infrastructure and older housing stock.

R6
General Residence District
R6 zoning districts are widely mapped in built-up, medium-density areas in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. The character of R6 districts can range from neighborhoods with a diverse mix of building types and heights to large-scale tower in the park developments such as Ravenswood in Queens and Homecrest in Brooklyn. Developers can choose between two sets of bulk regulations. Standard height factor regulations, introduced in 1961, produce small multi-family buildings on small zoning lots and, on larger lots, tall buildings that are set back from the street. Optional Quality Housing regulations produce high lot coverage buildings within height limits that often reflect the scale of older, pre-1961 apartment buildings in the neighborhood.
