About this House

Situated on a peaceful tree-lined cul-de-sac in Ditmas Park, this sprawling, fully detached 1920's, two-family row house with art deco brickwork and original details is available for the first time in fifty years. Lovingly maintained and approximately 4100+ sq ft, it offers two huge 3 bed 1 bath units, a fully finished English basement, a large 2 car garage, multiple car driveway, and a paved backyard. This stately, tranquil home provides the ultimate in privacy and flexibility for end-user and investors alike.

The parlor duplex consists of a gorgeous sunroom, living room, formal dining room adjoined with a charming windowed kitchen, three spacious bedrooms, and a full bath on the upper level. The lower level features a laundry room, full bath, storage, additional kitchen, and two grand open plan living spaces that can be used as a media room, recreation space or library, and more.

The upstairs unit is accessed through a separate entrance and includes the same generous, well-proportioned layout as the parlor level and is currently being used as a market-rate rental unit. A hidden gem -- the bonus attic room -- is waiting to be transformed into additional storage or living space.

Original details of the house include decorative wooden floors throughout, stained glass as well as original double-hung, multi-paned glass windows. Easy access to the B and Q train that enables a quick 30 minute to the city, this home offers the perfect mix of space, value, and convenience! In good condition, sold as is.
