About This Home
As of November 2024This stunning 2-family townhouse checks all the boxes fully updated throughout with new kitchens and baths throughout that co-exist perfectly with all the original restored historic details. Sitting pretty on a landmarked block in prime Lefferts Gardens, this home enjoys the convenience of Prospect Park and numerous subway lines at your doorstep (2/4/5/Q/B/S), in addition to cafes, shops and amenities in every direction. This is not a generic developer special, but rather a generous three-story home that has been lovingly updated for today with 21st century amenities but retains all the warmth and charm of a turn-of the century barrel front limestone.
Built 20' wide and 55' deep, the owner's upper duplex is flooded with light and offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a spacious garden off the kitchen area. Uniquely renovated with a center kitchen on the main floor, living room in front and dining in the back, plus an additional bedroom perfect for guests or a home office that doesn't require you to go upstairs. The kitchen is a work of art with full height custom cabinetry on two sides that affords you space for literally every kitchen gadget you could ever desire, plus generous pantry space as well. Not one, but TWO islands await so family and guests can hang out in either the dining or living side and enjoy easy access to the kitchen. Gorgeous Quartz countertops are as practical as they are beautiful, and offer great prep space for everyone to enjoy. Chef's grade Bertazzoni appliances compliment the custom cabinetry beautifully and include a 5-burner gas range that vents out, a 36" fridge with double freezer drawers, and stunning raw brass handles and faucet. Custom designer lighting over both islands illuminates your entertaining space and is the perfect framework for an elegant dining room off the garden and a generous living room in front. Period details on this floor and throughout include the original inlaid hardwood floors, soaring ceilings with restored decorative tin, and elegant picture and base moldings. A full bathroom on this floor ensures that you have a 5th bedroom suite for guests that don't want to use the stairs.
The top floor is flooded in light and offers four bedrooms, two full baths, and a spacious laundry room with full-sized vented machines for your convenience. The primary suite is a vision of style and space with a large walk-in closet, garden-facing views that promise peace and quiet, and enough room for a king-sized bed and extra furniture. The sunny and windowed primary bathroom stays true to its historic roots with a rich combination of timeless Carrara marble mosaics and a glass-enclosed windowed double wide shower complete with a full-width marble bench & body sprayers, plus a 72" marble topped double vanity. The secondary bath and the main floor bath have been beautifully appointed with handmade tile on the walls, verdant green hex tiled floors and brushed brass fixtures throughout that lend a timeless warmth to every space. Three additional bedrooms include skylights, great closets and designer lighting. Authentic touches throughout this entire floor include restored hardwood floors and detailed base, wall and ceiling moldings. A stunning staircase has been brought back to life and even includes a restored blown-glass pendant light on the balustrade at the entranceway the perfect conversation piece!
A lower level with a separate entrance offers a loft-like studio apartment that promises great rent to help pay the mortgage, OR open the interior door and incorporate it back into the upper duplex for a third floor of living space that makes a great guest suite, home office, playroom, or second living room. No detail has been spared in this gracious property and you can move right in and enjoy central AC and all its other numerous delights.
