Built around 1910, this charming Victorian home at 699 East 18th Street in the Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park Historic District of Brooklyn has over 4,900 square feet of interior space–more than enough room for family and friends on four floors. With a basement greenhouse and home office, a two-car garage and private driveway, a lovely back patio, and a gracious front porch, there’s room for everyone’s hobbies, too. The house, asking $2.25 million, is filled with well-preserved architectural details like high beamed and coffered ceilings, stained glass, and working gas fireplaces.
Past a welcoming entry foyer, the home’s parlor floor is anchored by a great room that spans the entire length of the house. Here you’ll find two working gas fireplaces.
A windowed dining room offers a view of the tree-lined street. The space can hold a formal dining table and guests galore.
A sun-filled windowed eat-in kitchen is both practical and charming. Just outside, a landscaped garden makes it easy to spend warm days outdoors surrounded by wood decking and greenery.
The home’s second floor offers four bedrooms. Each can accommodate a king-size bed and is outfitted with a walk-in closet. Also on this floor are a full bath and a powder room.
On the third floor are three more bedrooms and another full bath.
A completely finished and furnished lower level is a hub of possibility, including a home office, a greenhouse, a recreation room, laundry room, and utility access. According to the listing, there’s a “custom spa-like, zen oasis” here as well.
The neighborhood, a section of Ditmas Park also known as Victorian Flatbush, is conveniently situated for city living near the B and Q trains at Newkirk Plaza. Ditmas Park favorites like Lea, Werkstatt, The Farm on Adderley and Milk and Honey Cafe are nearby as well.
