Description
RARELY AVAILABLE, TURN KEY HISTORIC BEAUTY. This Completely Renovated & Restored Six Bedroom, Three Full & Two half Bathroom Ditmas Park Victorian checks all of the boxes! Breathtaking original detail combined with the most aesthetically pleasing and thoughtfully appointed of modern upgrades, this home is the coveted juxtaposition of superior old-world craftsmanship and the fresh aesthetic of the contemporary interior design. The inviting open plan of the Parlor floor begins in the entry Foyer with a stunning display of architectural detail that includes richly stained and painted woodwork, parquet floors with beautiful inlay around the periphery, pocket doors, wainscoting and the magnificent original staircase with a whimsical, carved three-leaf clover motif. Flooded with natural light, the bright living room flows into the elegant formal dining room that conjures images of fabulous dinner parties for 14 or more, bathed in the warm illumination of the stunning fireplace with a gorgeous original Arts & Crafts tile surround, flanked by lovely glass front built-ins for displaying precious objects or heirloom china. A unique arched entrance leads to the ultra-luxe, completely renovated chefs kitchen that is the perfect space for gathering friends and family while preparing meals together. Tons of Quartz counter space and a huge island that accommodates seating for spectators is enhanced by the cool grey hue of the custom, painted wood cabinetry above and below. Top-of-the-line, commercial-grade appliances include the five-burner range, dishwasher, wine cooler and a huge, full-size side by side refrigerator and freezer that is a chef's dream! There is a convenient powder room off of the kitchen and if it is dining and relaxing al fresco that you desire, the double French doors open to a charming patio that overlooks your expansive garden with room for anything and everything your heart and green thumb desires.
On the second floor, you will find the sun-drenched, oversized Master bedroom with a full bath ensuite featuring his and her double sinks, a glass-enclosed shower, and a luxurious, deep Jacuzzi soaking tub. Also on the second floor are three additional large bedrooms, one with a lovely original mantle, another stunning full bathroom and a convenient laundry room with full-sized washer and dryer, shelving for storing washing/cleaning supplies and a folding table.
The piece de resistance of this extraordinary home is the truly awe-inspiring the third floor. Soaring, vaulted cathedral ceilings and magnificent natural light literally feel like the sky is the limit with possibilities of what this space could be! Artist studio, media room or play space are just a few fantasies that could be your reality. Also on the third floor are two additional, huge bedrooms and a full bath. The bonus, finished basement has yet another half bath and provides great, clean storage or additional recreation space.
This exceptional home offers all of the mechanical upgrades and high tech features a buyer could ask for: video camera surveillance and video monitor intercom, 3 zones central heating and cooling, new roof, all new mechanicals, upgraded electrical and insulation throughout. The sidewalk was recently repaved, as was the seemingly endless driveway that can accommodate four cars. All of this just a short distance to the hip shopping and restaurants of Newkirk Plaza and Cortelyou Road and the B & Q trains to Manhattan!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEverything about this school is below average by far. 95% of the teachers give either work thats too easy to the point we don't learn, or teach very poorly. The other 5% of teachers are decent but the work is still not up to par with other schools in course rigor. You may get good scores in class until you take an AP test where your grades don't matter. This school had potential but has completely ruined itself. Some of the teachers promote skipping classes (particularly gym teachers), which really isn't what you need.Some of the rooms have mold growing in the floors and (from my experience) has been there for at least 3 years. I thought this school would have been good but I was so wrong.The only part of the school that is decent is the vast number of clubs (which 80% of them fall on Thursday).If you live over 40 minutes away don't go to school as it starts at 7:15 once youre junior/senior.Student Review1y ago - School Of Science And Technology

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter was here for first and second grade she had Ms. Fontaine and Mrs. Aris. They were amazing teachers. Mr.M was extremely helpful the guidance counselor also the principal and assistant principal was very understanding and really helped. This is a really great school and care about the kids. Only problem we had it had no G&T program so this is why we left. Over all the school made you feel like family. My daughter loved it here, we miss it!Parent Review2y ago - Ps 315

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love PS 315. My son is happy in 1st grade at the school. His teachers strive to make the class engaging and interactive. I'm amazed by how much he is learning this year. He has music, art, dance, gym and even has a weekly class with the Dance Theatre of Harlem. The school community is very welcoming and warm. The PTA is growing and there are many ways to get involved. An amazing, large new playground will be finished in May - with new equipment, a track, basketball and outdoor classroom. The school Administration is really responsive to the parents.Parent Review6y ago - Middle 890
