A landmarked Ditmas Park residence of character and distinction.
Elegant classic beauty and traditional Colonial Revival style resonate throughout this grand Victorian home that showcases all the period details of its era. Located within the neighborhood's eight-block historic district, the landmarked c1906 residence makes an enticing prospect and is presented in immaculate condition with well-preserved interiors enhanced by a fresh modern design and extension.
Inside, the home has been lovingly restored, sympathetically updated and impeccably maintained to evoke a sense of enduring style. Many of the original details are intact and include hardwood flooring, solid oak decorative woodwork, pocket doors, an ornate fireplace mantel and original crown molding throughout.
It is introduced by a striking traditional facade, landscaped front garden and a front porch that make an instant impression. The interior layout caters to a modern family and features multiple living areas with lots of flexibility for multiple generations.
There is a welcoming entry foyer, graceful formal lounge and dining areas and a separate sitting room at the front. Home cooks will love the large-sized kitchen that comes well-equipped with a large island bench where you can easily entertain guests while preparing meals.
The inside connects easily with the outdoors for a great alfresco lifestyle complete with a wide BBQ deck where you can sit and entertain in leafy privacy. Seven generous-sized bedrooms include four on the second floor. There are three more on the third floor along with a spacious home office or secondary main suite with a full-sized bathroom.
There is also a fully finished basement level that could be re-visioned as a gym or home office space. Additional features include thermostats on every floor, three bathrooms plus a driveway through to a two-car garage at the rear.
This expansive block of prime real estate offers a very rare opportunity to secure a significant home in a historic Ditmas Park neighborhood. Very few properties can offer so much in terms of size, character and quality in a prime blue-ribbon address that's within walking distance to grocery stores, cafes, restaurants and schools. It's also just a short 12-minute bike ride to Prospect Park, and 30 minutes by train to the heart of Manhattan.
