Description
The parlor floor contains a gracious living room illuminated by three windows with leaded...Perfectly positioned in the middle of the block, this white brick beauty retains its original mahogany double doors and is characterized by barrel-front bay windows surrounded by terracotta details. Designed in 1906 by Frank S. Lowe, this two-family home consists of two stories plus a finished basement - 20 by 50 feet on a 102.5 foot lot. Loaded with charm and possibilities, this home will be delivered vacant.
The parlor floor contains a gracious living room illuminated by three windows with leaded glass transoms looking at a London Plane Tree in the front garden. The dining room, anchored with a built-in bookcase and french doors, leads to a perfect home office or second bedroom. Original parquet floors continue front to back where the large master bedroom has another bay overlooking the lush garden that is accessible through the kitchen. Over the past twelve years, the owners have cultivated the garden to be a haven for pollinators and migratory birds with a focus on native plants: elderberry, juneberry, witch hazel, hydrangeas, Dutchman's pipe, ferns, wild ginger, ramps, sea oats, and bluebells to name just a few.
The basement is accessed through the common hallway on the parlor level providing additional living space for the owner who currently uses a portion of it as a guest bedroom. This level contains a full bathroom, laundry area and a large storage room. There is a separate entrance from the street and there is access to the back garden from here.
Upstairs, the second floor contains a spacious two-bedroom plus office floor-through. The layout mirrors that of the downstairs unit but with one additional room. This floor contains similar charming details and high ceilings as found in the apartment below. Combine the top two floors to make a beautiful single family home or spruce up the basement and make a 2,000 square foot owner’s duplex while still earning a steady rental income from the top floor apartment.
Spend a few moments in the front garden and the neighbors will surely stop for a chat. This section of Lefferts Avenue won the prestigious “Greenest Block” award in 2018 thanks to the tireless efforts of the block association. Come and discover the block that residents describe as a “village in the middle of the metropolis”. The neighborhood has its own CSA, many great restaurants and is close to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn’s central library. Ideally situated between two subway stops providing easy access to the B/Q/S/2/5 trains plus there is a central hub for buses. Bring your green thumb!
Virtual tour and floor plan will be posted on 7/15.
