Description

Historic Turn-of-the-Century Elegance. Luxurious Ditmas Park Grandeur.

A charmed Ditmas Park lifestyle awaits in this palatial 6-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom whole-home rental with lush outdoor areas, a private garage, and sprawling interiors suffused with abundant storage and lovely period details.

Rising three stories and built at the turn of the 20th Century, this one-of-a-kind house offers a best-of-both-worlds experience - the space, privacy, and quietness of suburban life moments from exciting restaurants, cafes, and city amenities.

Bay windows, stained glass accents, hardwood floors with border inlays, beamed ceilings, and more.

On the first level are two oversized living rooms, a separate home office, and a countryside-style eat-in kitchen that is atypically large compared to other homes in the neighborhood. The living rooms are perfect for hosting guests and gatherings. The office has two distinct rooms and a convenient powder room, making it ideal as a cozy den or media room. The kitchen includes sleek countertops, a marble tile backsplash, abundant cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Additional features include decorative fireplaces, a gorgeous central staircase, mini-split AC systems, and a basement washer/dryer.

The second and third levels contain six sun-splashed bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a bonus space that can easily be used as a playroom, nursery, walk-in closet, library, art studio, and more. One of the bedrooms also has a covered balcony overlooking the backyard.

Dreamy outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy year-round.

A private curb-cut driveway leads to a single-car garage, while a deep front lawn with mature trees and lush plantings draws the eye to an inviting veranda. On the opposite side of the home, a rear porch off the kitchen flows down to a cute backyard with red brick and flagstone pavers and beautiful gardening plots.

Everything you need, in the heart of Brooklyn.

537 East 17th Street sits on a pretty tree-lined street in the famed Ditmas Park neighborhood. Yard sales, art walks, and local shops foster a welcoming community ambiance. Pedestrian strips like Cortelyou Road and Foster Avenue are lined with eateries and bars, and nearby grocery stores include Flatbush Food Co-op, Key Food, CTown, and Apna. Prospect Park is a few blocks north, while Brooklyn College and Di Fara Pizza lie to the south.

Accessible subway lines include the 2, 5, B, and Q. No pets please.

    "great neighborhood with perfect balance of race/ethnicities. it's offers a great suburban feeling while still maintaining a vibrant city life and culture. Great proximity to public transportation, libraries and the Prospect Park. For food lovers more and more restaurants are opening up with a 1 mile radius of the neighborhood. I love it here. "

    "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."
