About This Home
Open House by Appointment Only, Sunday April 27, 2:30-4:30pm.
Welcome to one of Ditmas Park West's most storied and gracious residences. Built in 1916 for silent film star Mary Pickford, this neo-Tudor home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully restored and renovated for the ideal blend of modern convenience and historic character.
Situated on the corner of Ditmas Avenue and Rugby Road, this house invites you to enjoy the good life, Brooklyn style. With a flexible layout that can provide up to 6 bedrooms or additional family/lounging space, you'll find plenty of room to spread out, entertain, and work from home in comfort.
Welcome guests at the stately front entrance, leading to a large foyer that opens onto an oversized, living room and octagonal dining room, both with working fireplaces. 270 degrees of sunlight illuminate exquisite original woodwork, leaded glass built-ins and windows, and hardwood floors throughout. A powder room adds convenience to this floor. The adjacent kitchen is truly a chef's dream, with professional range, oversized island, multiple workstations, and ample storage including a butler's pantry.
Mount the sweeping staircase, pausing to read a poem or two on the comfortably cushioned seating on the landing, and you're greeted by four bedrooms, three baths, two home offices, each with leafy neighborhood views. The top floor affords a cozy bonus space for sleep or play in addition to generous storage areas and a cedar closet.
Did we say play? Downstairs is a large entertainment room with yet another fireplace and a wood paneled bar, reportedly used by America's Sweetheart herself for hosting parties and indoor barbecues. Opposite is a spacious gym set-up, complete with mirrored wall. Laundry, dry good and wine storage, and a workshop round out the basement.
Topping off this one-of-a-kind home are an attached garage complete with EV charger; professionally landscaped front and side yard with irrigation; slate-floored enclosed front porch with louvered windows to catch the summer breezes, and a cozy rear yard planted with herbs, fruit trees, and a barbecue spot. Every room features hardwood floors with the exception of the kitchen, which is stunningly clad in the home's original hexagonal bistro tiles. The unusually high ceilings -- 10' on the parlor floor, 9' on the 2nd floor and basement, makes the rooms feel exceptionally open and airy.
The spotless kitchen has been fully renovated as have all the baths. Both the roof and windows have been recently replaced with upgraded materials. Three zones of AC keep things cool while the gas heat and fireplaces keep the place cozy in cooler seasons.
1320 Ditmas Avenue is located in the heart of this well arbored enclave, just blocks from highly rated schools, the lively scene and weekend farmer's market on Cortelyou Road - all just steps from the B and Q trains at Newkirk Plaza.
Get ready for your own close-up in this glamorous yet invitingly livable home and inhabit a piece of Brooklyn history.
