About this House

Just Launched! Gorgeous fully-detached, single-family home in Kensington with private driveway and garage on 30' x 100' lot! Welcome home to your beautiful, large, four bedroom, three-and-a-half bath oasis. The house has received a complete cosmetic renovation, including new roof and siding. When you first step into your home, you enter into your bright, light-filled entryway with huge coat closets. Next, you notice the wide-planked light-washed oak floors throughout the open living dining kitchen main area, complete with reading study area. There are windows on all sides, high ceilings and charming details such as a decorative fireplace in the living room and built-in bench area in the dining room. There is a large powder room on this floor, with Carrara marble floors. The kitchen has new soft-closure cabinets, quartz counter tops and new stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, GE refrigerator and stove/oven, topped by a lovely range hood. Your deep sink looks out onto the back outdoor area through a large picture window, and there is a windowed breakfast bar with additional cabinet space. The outdoor space in the back has a garden area, plenty of room for entertaining, barbecuing, and game playing. The large garage is currently used for storage. You can convert back to a usable car garage or keep it for tons of storage, as you have a long private driveway!

Back in the house, the full basement is an open, carpeted space with proper ceiling height and a full bath. There is a door that leads to the mechanical and storage room and a secondary washer dryer hook-up (there is also a washer-dryer closet on the second floor). Back up the stairs to the second floor you will find three large bedrooms (two of which can more than accommodate king-size beds) and a full bath with tub, which can be accessed both en-suite as well as via the main hallway. The piece de resistance is the top floor: An entire open space, which could be set up as a master suite or guest area, huge home office, artist's studio or playroom, complete with a full bath with large shower and skylight, as well as a walk-in closet- it is yours to use as you wish!

Walking distance to the amazing shops and restaurants on Cortelyou and Church Avenues, as well as the F and Q subways and Prospect Park! This is a truly special home. Showings by appointment, with safety protocols followed. Contact agent to view!
