Description

Rare, renovated 2 family house in Ditmas Park. This 1910 Dutch colonial style home offers up a pristine 4 bedroom owner's duplex set atop a charming 3 bedroom rental unit.

An enchanting front porch, perfect idling away an afternoon, welcomes you to the home. Up a flight of stairs, you enter into the spacious owners unit. An open living and dining room has a lovely flow and is set up perfectly for entertaining. A deck just off the living room expands the space for additional lounging or dining. A nook off the living room provides an additional bonus space. Period details, such as lovely stained glass windows, gorgeous molding, a beamed ceiling and stunning original flooring are in perfect harmony with the new renovation.

The dining room is adjacent to the living room and connects easily with the kitchen. The Southern facing bay window brings in glorious light and is ideal for anyone with a green thumb. An ingenious pass through provides additional storage as well as bar seating. The newly-renovated, windowed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, white shaker-style cabinetry and stylish gold hardware.

As you move to the back of the house, you pass a powder room, and head toward the primary suite. Clocking in at approximately 400 sqft, you have room for a private lounge, king size bed, and a separate home office. Windows on 2 sides make this space inviting and bright. The walk-in closet is fully built out to make the best use of the space. The windowed, en-suite bathroom has a modern double vanity and a large shower.

Up the stairs to the second floor of the owners unit, you find 3 more bedrooms, each well proportioned with large closets and wonderful light. Along the hallway there are 2 closets, one set up to be a linen closet. A brand-new full bathroom features a large shower, herringbone style flooring and stylish arched mirrors.

The ground floor rental apartment has a fascinating history, as it was once the home office to the first female detective agency, which became the inspiration behind the tv series Moonlighting. Generously sized at roughly 1200 square feet, it now features 3 well-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The living room and dining room feature the same stunning details as the owner's duplex above. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash and gold hardware. Abundant closet space and renovated full bathroom complete the space.

The windowed basement offers untapped potential and hosts a large laundry room and half bathroom. Currently used for storage, this could be a fantastic rec room, workout space, home office or all of the above! A former dark room harkens back to the days of the detective agency. A grassy backyard is perfect for lazing the day away tucked under a canopy of trees. The house features a one-car garage and a private driveway with room for four full sized vehicles.

554 Argyle Street is dripping in history and yet has been modernized for today's living. Set in bucolic Ditmas Park with the shops of Cortelyou Road just 2 blocks away and the Newkirk express station around the corner, you will feel transported beyond Brooklyn yet still have all the conveniences of city living at your fingertips.
