Description

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BLOCK IN HISTORIC DITMAS PARK!

Beautiful 7 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath Victorian in bucolic Ditmas Park! This home possesses the coveted combination of stunning architectural detail and the most tasteful updates. A huge wrap around porch welcomes you into a generous vestibule with the original tile floor, and opens to the breathtaking Parlor.

Original detail includes coffered ceilings, pocket doors, wainscoting, leaded and stained glass windows and parquet floors.
Off of the dining room is a huge eat in kitchen with custom painted wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a 6 burner Viking stove, two dishwashers and a large, double door refrigerator. A door off of the kitchen leads to a lovely deck equipped with a gas fired grill and steps down to an expansive deck with a long, integrated planter, perfect for dining or entertaining outdoors and a big grassy area with in ground sprinkler system, driveway and one car garage.
On the second floor are four bedrooms and two full baths, one with a glass enclosed shower and the other with a tub/shower combo. On the third floor are an additional three bedrooms and 1 full bath with a glass enclosed shower.

The basement has a washer/dryer, great additional storage space and rec area. The house is equipped with central AC.

All of this just a few blocks to the vibrant shopping and restaurants of Cortelyou Road and Newkirk Plaza and the B & Q Trains to Manhattan.

    "This area is great for cheap rent but that is where the pros end. Not a lot of options for grocery stores or restaurants. Area is not the safest or the cleanest. School district among the lowest of the city. Would not recommend for a family. Maybe for a single person or a couple who wants to save money on rent for a few years before moving to someplace better."
