About this House

Set within the coveted Ditmas Park Historic Landmark District, 561 East 17th Street is a rare, freestanding early-20th century wood-frame Victorian gracefully situated on an oversized 77.58' x 100' lot. Spanning over 4,000 square feet across three levels—plus a full basement—this seven-bedroom home is a celebration of space, craftsmanship, and enduring charm.

A wraparound front porch invites you in and sets the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, a wood-filled foyer welcomes you, anchored by the home's original carved staircase with built-in bench—a centerpiece of early 20th-century design and detail. The grand living room is framed by seven oversized windows and rich coffered ceilings, filling the home with natural light and character. Throughout the residence, you'll find several antique wood-carved mantels, stained-glass transoms, pocket doors, picture moldings, and hardwood floors—echoes of a bygone era waiting to be lovingly restored.

The formal dining room flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen that awaits transformation into a modern-day culinary hub. With seven well-proportioned bedrooms—many enjoying corner exposures and abundant sunlight—there is versatility for guest rooms, home offices, creative studios, or multigenerational living.

A full basement offers additional possibilities for storage, recreation, or future finishing. The lush backyard provides ample space for gardening, entertaining, or expanding. Parking is a true asset here, with a shared driveway, shared garage, and a separate curb cut for additional on-site parking—a rarity in the neighborhood.

While updates will be required, the home’s extraordinary bones, architectural integrity, and generous layout make it an ideal canvas for restoration and reimagination. Whether you're an architect, artist, or a homeowner with vision, this is a rare chance to craft something truly special in the heart of one of Brooklyn’s most cherished neighborhoods.

Located just blocks from Cortelyou Road’s vibrant cafes and shops, Newkirk Plaza, and less than half a mile from Prospect Park, 561 East 17th Street combines the soul of historic Brooklyn with the convenience of city living.
561 E 17th St, Brooklyn, NY 11226 is a 7 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 4,094 sqft single-family home in Ditmas Park, built in 1905.
