January 24th Open House CANCELLED. Designed by Architect Benjamin Driesler and built by developer John R. Corbin in 1907, this bright and beautiful Colonial Revival invites and enchants you with that coveted combination of perfectly preserved original detail and the most tasteful contemporary updates. The generosity of proportions begins with the huge wraparound porch; a glorious, outdoor living area where you can admire the spectacular blooms of your majestic Magnolia tree in the Spring or enjoy late Summer evenings relaxing with family and friends. The sprawling Parlor floor has the traditional living rooms flanking the foyer. One used as a cozy family den, the other with a floor to ceiling, custom Oak built-in library and a decorative wood burning fireplace. The jewel at the landing of the grand center stair is a breathtaking Tiffany style, stained glass panel of Wisteria that sparkles with color when illuminated by the sun. The formal dining room has the original coffered ceilings and swinging door leading through an original Butlers Pantry, into the huge eat in Kitchen. Recently renovated, the designer kitchen finishes include custom Maple cabinetry, black Granite Counter tops and stainless steel appliances. Not only can the kitchen accommodate a table that seats 8 people, but there is door that leads to the convenient, original covered back porch with steps down to a large private garden and your own two car garage. The second floor has 3 bright, generously sized bedrooms and a huge bath as big as a bedroom. The third floor has an additional 3 bedrooms plus an office, and a spectacular, newly renovated bath complete with a large dual shower head, marble shower enclosure with an arched mosaic ceiling, crystal chandeliers and marble floor tiles. All of this on THE MOST beautiful, tree-lined street, convenient to the B and Q Trains to Manhattan and all of the great shopping and restaurants of Newkirk Ave and Cortelyou Road!
