The parlor-level residence is a beautifully renovated flex two-bedroom, one-bath home that perfectly blends classic charm with modern comfort. Whether used as a traditional two-bedroom or a one-bedroom with a spacious home office, this sun-filled apartment offers flexibility and style. With north and south exposures, the space is bathed in natural light throughout the day.
Step inside and be greeted by stunning original details—pocket doors, antique moldings, bay windows, and elegant crown molding—that speak to the home's historic character. The expansive open-plan living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, and sleek finishes.
The crowning jewel of this unit is its over 800-square-foot private, landscaped garden, a true urban sanctuary. It's the perfect setting for al fresco dining, morning coffee under the crepe myrtle, or entertaining friends on warm summer evenings.
Just one flight up, the second-floor residence is a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment offering 1,000 square feet of comfortable living space. This home features a gracious layout with charming details like French doors, hardwood flooring, and abundant natural light from dual exposures. It’s ideal as a separate income-producing unit or as part of a full townhouse conversion into a single-family home. SEE ALTERNATE FLOOR PLAN. The English basement also offers endless possibilities.
Perfectly located just steps from Prospect Park, the Q, B, 2, and 5 trains, and neighborhood favorites such as Risbo, Honey Badger, Bonafini, and Cinnamon Girl Cafe, this home offers unmatched convenience. You're also moments away from Brooklyn's premier cultural institutions—the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Central Library.
