 Welcome to this delightful, recently refreshed, fully detached single-family home on a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of Kensington. Brimming with charm and natural light, this inviting home offers a wonderful blend of character, comfort, and indoor-outdoor living. A lush front garden oasis and charming elevated porch create a warm welcome. Inside, sunlight pours through the windows, illuminating a spacious living room, gracious dining room, and recently updated kitchen. A versatile rear sunroom with floor-to-ceiling closet space offers the perfect setting for a home office, den, or fourth bedroom. Upstairs, three bright and charming bedrooms and a full bathroom offer peaceful retreats, while the rear-facing rooms overlook the glorious backyard. And then there's the outdoor space!

A garden shed provides additional storage.

Looking for even more space? A pull-down ladder leads to a spacious, finished attic storage area, while the basement offers laundry, two finished rooms, and an additional bathroom. With generous bonus space and exciting potential, this home offers plenty of flexibility for your evolving needs.

All of this in one of Brooklyn's most beloved neighborhoods, moments from the vibrant shops, cafés, and restaurants of Cortelyou Road and the natural beauty of Prospect Park.
