This is the turn-key townhouse you've been looking for. Situated three blocks from Prospect Park, this early-20th century home was recently lovingly renovated to suit modern tastes, while maintaining the original glory of the era. A landscaped garden greets you as you enter the property from the sidewalk, leading to the main, parlor level entrance, where you will find wonderfully preserved crown molding in the vestibule.

The parlor level boasts original hardwood floors, 12' ceilings and an open plan living-kitchen area, with enough room for a large dining table plus a full living room suite. South-facing bay windows flood this level with light throughout the day.

The kitchen features a hand-laid tile backsplash, Blomberg bottom-freezer refrigerator, Whirlpool stove and microwave, plus a super-sized sink, soft-close white shaker cabinetry and stone countertops. A half-bath (with a pocket door!) and a large pantry lead to the spacious and bright back garden, which awaits your customization.

The bedroom level features a king-sized master bedroom with large bay window and two large closets; a nursery/office/changing room with a skylight; and a second, queen-sized bedroom. There is a full bathroom on this level with hand-laid subway tiles, Kohler fixtures, and a window.

The basement was fully renovated and can easily function as a home office, studio, rec room, or guest suite. It features a full bathroom with standup shower and a laundry room, as well as access to both the front and back gardens.

Entertainment, food, and beverage options abound. Some area favorites include: Empire 103, DRINK PLG Wine & Spirits, Lincoln Tavern, Midwood Flats, Lincoln Tavern, Island to Island Brewery, PLG Coffee House and Tavern, The Inkwell, Izzy's Barbecue, Keg Lounge, Empanada City, The Westbury Inn, Bluebird, Rain eatery and juice bar, Parkside, and Zuri Lee.

Aside from these local hot spots, the main cultural attraction is the proximity of this home to Prospect Park - an easy 2 1/2 blocks away. Other institutions of note include the H.P. Lovecraft House, Medgar Evers College, the Museum of Women's Resistance, the RAF Burtonwood Heritage Centre, and Kings County Medical Center/SUNY Downstate Hospital.
