Description
An expansive front porch ushers you into a gracious...Perfectly situated on an oversized 75' x 100' lot, this sprawling 4,500-square-foot, six-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath Victorian stands as a breathtaking testament to generous proportions, thoughtful design, and magnificently preserved original detail. Set within the coveted Ditmas Park Historic Landmark District, the home is a rare, freestanding Tudor-style Victorian, gracefully appointed with extraordinary craftsmanship and architectural integrity.
An expansive front porch ushers you into a gracious entry foyer, anchored by a fireplace and an inviting window seat. The parlor level unfolds with a grand living room adorned with elaborate plaster moldings, the original chandelier, and a stunning wood-burning fireplace framed by fluted Ionic columns and original sconces. Opposite the hearth, a three-window bay with a long window seat gazes out over the tree-lined street. Just beyond is an enchanting sunroom encircled by wall-to-wall windows—an ideal spot for morning light and quiet moments.
The formal dining room flows effortlessly into a vast eat-in kitchen offering long stretches of counter space, substantial cabinet storage, and room for an eight-person dining table. A door off the kitchen opens to the lush backyard: an expansive green oasis perfect for gardening, entertaining, and easy outdoor living.
The second floor offers four large bedrooms, each rich with period character, along with two well-sized baths. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and abundant attic storage, providing wonderful flexibility for guests, offices, creative studios, or multigenerational living. A full basement expands the home’s potential even further.
Parking is exceptional, with a two-car garage and a lengthy driveway that accommodates up to four additional vehicles.
While updates will be desired, the home’s extraordinary bones, preserved detail, and generous layout offer an unmatched opportunity to restore, reimagine, and elevate a true architectural treasure. Architects, artists, and visionaries alike will find a spectacular canvas here.
Located just two blocks from the vibrant shops and restaurants of Newkirk Plaza and Cortelyou Road, and close to the B and Q trains to Manhattan and the Brooklyn - Manhattan BM1 and BM3 Express buses, this remarkable residence blends the soul of historic Brooklyn with the ease of modern city living.
