Description
VICTORIAN SPLENDOR
642 E 19th St was built in 1910*, by Architect John R. Corbin. This elegant home retains its beauty, including original woodwork and parquet floors throughout. This is a fine example of that wonderful development period of free-standing homes with landscaped gardens, shaded by the trees that make this neighborhood unique and beautiful to this day.
You will step up to a wide front porch, already equipped with a classic swing, screened in as it was when first built! Then you enter an elegant living room, gracious and spacious enough for a grand piano on one side and a beautiful fireplace on the other, bracketed by built in bookcases. Period light fixtures and scones throughout.
A special, heated, interior porch room off the living room provides an intimate space with built-in shelves, making it a perfect option for a home office, library, or peaceful sun-filled reading room.
The dining room features coffered ceilings, a decorative fireplace and is large enough for family meals or exquisite dinner parties.
The uniquely designed custom eat-in kitchen fits seamlessly into the Victorian style with a greenhouse-like window box. It features duel sinks, a six burner stove for a true chef, plentiful storage, including a beautiful display pantry. The countertops are Verde Mariachi, a granite from Brazil. In addition to the Fischer Paykel refrigerator, there is a supplemental two draw Subzero refrigerator. The kitchen floor is cherry wood specially engineered with a coating designed to repel water spills! There is also a perfectly placed, half bath and coat closet on the way out to the garden.
You can step right out to the recently redone, expansive, back deck ready for outdoor grilling and eating, or a glorious soak in the built-in hot tub. There is a wonderful sense of privacy in the back yard and the large garage even has an attic space!
Back inside, a sweeping center staircase allows for a grand ascent to the upper floors. On the second level your breath will be taken away by the primary bedroom suite that spans the full width of the home with bay windows that invite the morning light. The custom walk-in closet is fully outfitted with bars, drawers and shelves. The Japanese influenced, five piece bathroom includes a gracious walk-in shower with a tile tree motif, deep soaking tub, bidet, and a linen closet.
The rest of the floor is made up of a private suite that would be perfect for visiting family or friends. The sitting room features an efficiency kitchen that would be perfect for an early breakfast or midnight snack. And, there is a separate bedroom, and charming full bathroom with an original claw-foot tub.
The top floor provides three more beautiful bedrooms that are given charm by the delightful roof lines that are hallmarks of Victorian upper floors. The large bathroom features porcelain tiles imported from Italy. There is another original claw-foot bathtub, a vessel sink and large separate glass- enclosed shower plus a private toilet/bidet/sink area. Natural light shines through brilliant, must see, solar tubes.
The extensive (1,000sf) basement has windows on three sides for great natural light and offers a separate laundry room, workshop. There is a convenient extra bathroom and of course, tons of storage!
The home has been lovingly cared for and maintained with the installation of eight Mitsubishi split system AC units for zoned temperature control.
This is an opportunity to become part of the wonderful community and life style of the Ditmas Park/Fiske Terrace neighborhood that remains one of the most surprising secrets of Brooklyn with its amazing peacefulness and fresh air yet steps away from the excitement of restaurants, and shopping and easy access to the Q and B trains at Newkirk Plaza. With your private off-street parking for at least three cars, you really have the best of all of NYC at your command.

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
