What's special
Nestled between charming Victorian houses on a lushly green street lined with towering Sycamore trees, this completely Move In Ready, 5 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath Victorian home will truly check all of the boxes on your wishlist. The inviting front porch welcomes you into the gracious entry foyer that is a showcase of preserved detail including the original stair, a lovely decorative mantel, pocket doors, stained glass and parquet floors. The spacious living room has a bay of windows with serene views of green, a convenient powder room, a bright formal dining room with a huge picture window overlooking the garden and THE MOST stunning kitchen in Ditmas Park! Cleverly designed to create the coveted open feeling while maintaining two distinct spaces, the floor to ceiling cabinetry with a huge pass through opening is a masterpiece of custom millwork with divine finishes like Calacatta Turquoise marble and unlacquered brass fixtures. The luxurious appliance suite includes a six-burner Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and an Asko dishwasher. Enjoy more informal dining at a corner kitchen table with banquette seating, or step outside to your expansive deck with stairs down to an enchanting garden with an array of mature perennial plantings. The second floor features the primary bedroom with an ensuite bath and dressing room, along with two additional bedrooms, one with an adjacent sunroom, and another full bath. On the third floor, two large bedrooms provide ample space for office nooks, complemented by another full bath. Outside, a single car garage and driveway provide parking for up to three cars, and the semi-finished basement offers great additional space for a home office, rec room and storage. No expense has been spared in the thoughtful and meticulous restoration of the entire home, with original floors, gracious moldings and high end hardware throughout. All of the mechanicals of the home are new including a new Weil McLain boiler, updated electrical, mini-split AC throughout the home, a new roof, new Trex Lineage composite deck, modern windows throughout and much more.
Located in close proximity to Cortelyou Road and Newkirk Plaza, as well as the B & Q trains to Manhattan, this home offers a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility to the vibrant shopping and dining options of the area.
