Viewings this weekend by appointment only. This four-bedroom, 2.5 bath house with a den and huge rec room is truly special and absolutely gorgeous! It was recently renovated from top to bottom and is in excellent condition - no need to do any work before you move in. The renovation was done by a boutique developer with an eye for detail who spared no expense on the infrastructure of the house. No half-measure mechanical updates here: the plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems were entirely replaced by highly reputable contractors. Nest thermostats power two brand new high-efficiency furnaces with chillers that provide zoned central heating and cooling. The roof, skylights, windows and interior/exterior doors are all new. The house has been fully insulated to save money and energy. Thoroughly renovated houses of this quality rarely come on the market. (Don't be fooled by houses that look updated but have ancient mechanicals or have had poor work done.) And if you need parking, you can rent a spot across the street.

Originally built in the 1920's, the house is the only one in the row to retain its unique embossed metal coat of arms and floral flourishes in the upper part of the facade. The open porch has been preserved and invites afternoon lounging. Luxurious new additions to the house include Carrara kitchen counters, herringbone tile backsplash, marble baths, gorgeous brass and glass light fixtures, built-in shelving and closets, and new rift and quarter-sawn oak flooring, all designed with great style.

The house feels much larger than it looks from the street. The kitchen, dining room, and living room on the main floor form a large open space, perfect for family life and entertaining. At the back of the main floor, a den leads to a sunny bedroom with an attached half bathroom and access to the back yard. It's set up as an office but works equally well as a guest bedroom.

Upstairs are three more bedrooms and two spa-like marble bathrooms. The master bath has a generous shower while the other has a deep Duravit soaking tub. Both bathrooms have new skylights to bathe you in natural light. The fully finished rec room in the basement is huge, and has room for a TV room, home gym, and more. It has direct access to the back and front yards.

The lush backyard has a stone patio and cedar fencing. Plantings in the backyard and front garden were chosen to provide year-round interest, including: bamboo, crape-myrtle, peonies, lilacs, lenten rose, hydrangeas, mountain bluet and beebalms.

The house has easy access to many amenities in Kensington and Windsor Terrace. Prospect Park and the Tennis Center are a very short bike ride away. The F/G train (Church Ave) is around the corner. Close to Thai Farm Kitchen, Brancaccio's, Hamilton's, Sawasde Thai, La Loba Cantina, Steeplechase Coffee, Carnival and much more.
