Description
Welcome to your dream home on East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY, where elegance meets modern sophistication in the heart of enchanting Ditmas Park. This meticulously renovated 6-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence is perfectly situated opposite a beautifully landscaped esplanade, offering a serene and lush setting. The gracious entry foyer showcases the sprawling open plan and abundant natural light of the parlor floor, offering views into each room as well as a direct sightline through sliding glass doors to the backyard. An entertainer’s dream and ideal for family life, this floor’s options and versatility are endless. The sunny music room, with windows on every wall, is the perfect size to accommodate a grand piano.
The living/dining room features two bays of windows, more than enough space for a generous seating area and a dining table for six or more, flowing into another large living/family room with a convenient powder room.
The pièce de résistance is the dreamy, custom kitchen and breakfast room. A true chef’s delight and the hub of the home, oversized windows connect you to the outdoors and fill the space with breathtaking light. Top-of-the-line kitchen finishes include custom cabinetry by Jewett Farms with walnut drawer interiors, unlacquered brass hardware, paneled appliances, and heat- and stain-resistant Silestone quartz countertops. The luxe appliance suite includes a Wolf dual-fuel 36” range (gas stove, electric oven), Miele XL plumbed combi convection steam oven, Sub-Zero fridge/freezer with ice and water dispenser, Bosch dishwasher, Sharp drawer microwave, and dual-zone Vinotemp wine fridge. Bonus features include an Insinkerator garbage disposal and Waterworks faucet/pot filler. The sunny breakfast room, perfect for casual dining, has huge windows and sliding glass doors leading to the beautiful backyard. A wall of floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry provides even more storage.
The second floor houses the spacious primary bedroom, easily accommodating a king-size bed and furnishings, with two custom walk-in closets and a stunning en-suite bath. Primary bath finishes include a Calacatta marble double vanity, Ralph Lauren mirror sconces, Calacatta marble tile in the windowed shower, Kohler hardware with double shower heads and rainfall feature, and custom built-in linen closets. This floor also includes two additional, well-sized bedrooms, a full bath with a Kohler cast-iron tub, and a convenient laundry room with full-size front-loading washer and dryer, built-in hanging rack, and wall-mounted, fold up ironing board.
The third floor has two additional spacious bedrooms and another full bath with a clawfoot tub.
The finished basement was fully excavated to increase ceiling height to 7'9", waterproofed, insulated, and outfitted with hurricane-proof, double-glazed windows that bring in beautiful natural light. This fantastic bonus space includes a cozy screening room, home gym, a bedroom with a built-in Murphy bed doubling as an office, a full bath with shower, a large storage closet with W/D hookup, and a full kitchenette/bar with paneled appliances, including a floor-to-ceiling Sub-Zero dual-zone wine fridge, Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers, Scotsman ice maker, Bosch dishwasher, and Insinkerator garbage disposal.
All new double-glazed windows throughout the home, full insulation, and a high-efficiency boiler make this home as energy-efficient as it is luxurious. Heating and cooling are managed by four zones of radiator heating and five zones of central AC. Yamaha built-in speakers are installed on the parlor floor and in the basement, with Bose outdoor speakers for the backyard.
Ditmas Park is an enchanting historic neighborhood in New York City that offers a suburban feel close to the city. Known for its detached Victorian homes with front porches, backyards, and garages on tree-lined streets, it offers a country-in-the-city experience.

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
