Description

Welcome to this lovely three-bedroom, two-bath single-family home, filled with pre-war charm, a beautifully landscaped yard, and a fully finished basement — all nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Flatbush. Offering over 1,800 sq ft of living space (including the finished basement), this warm and inviting home begins with a lush front garden and classic covered porch.

Step inside to a sunlit, open-plan layout featuring a spacious living room with curved bay windows and a seamless flow into the kitchen and dining area. The updated kitchen includes abundant cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large breakfast bar, and west-facing windows that frame views of your private garden. Off the kitchen, a convenient laundry room leads out to your serene, fully fenced backyard — complete with concrete pavers, planting beds, and a large storage shed perfect for bikes, tools, or outdoor gear. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and a stylishly updated full bathroom with a deep tub/shower combo. The expansive finished basement provides excellent versatility as a playroom, gym, home office, media room, or creative space — with its own private backyard access.

Situated just two blocks from the 2 and 5 trains at Beverly and Nostrand, enjoy a quick 30-minute ride to downtown Manhattan or a 5-minute hop to the Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden, and Grand Army Plaza. The B/Q trains are also nearby, and you’re surrounded by vibrant restaurants, shopping, farmer’s markets, and playgrounds. Prospect Park and the Parade Grounds are less than a mile away, offering 585+ acres of recreation: ball fields, trails, tennis, boating, off-leash dog hours, ice-skating, concerts at Celebrate Brooklyn, the nation's first urban Audubon Center, and more.
