This seven-bedroom free-standing Ditmas Park townhouse at 777 Rugby Road, asking $2.275 million, has plenty of curb appeal, starting with a big, gracious front porch perfect for summer afternoons. On a leafy block lined with ornate Victorians, this home has been renovated to create plenty of space for modern living while keeping its bygone-era charm.
Up a tidy brick walk past a landscaped front front garden is a dream of a wraparound porch, complete with a porch swing. Through the home’s original double doors is the parlor floor with a bright open floor plan and lots of original details.
You’ll find well-preserved parquet floors, wainscoting, stained glass and the original stairs coupled with warm modern renovations. The large living area has a bay of three windows for plenty of sunlight. The formal dining room seats 12.
A renovated eat-in-kitchen boasts Cesarstone countertops and stainless steel appliances. Next door is an all-season sunroom with seven windows, perfect as a breakfast room, playroom or den.
Out back, a grassy, landscaped back yard provides plenty of play space. The home includes a two-car garage and a long private driveway.
On the second floor are four light filled bedrooms, all with great closets. Also up here is a full bath.
The home’s top floor offers three more large bedrooms. The cozy top-floor architecture combines a modern garret vibe with sun-filled rooms.
A large finished basement offers a versatile open area/rec room and a beautifully renovated bath with a glass enclosed shower. Also down here is a spacious laundry room with full-sizes LG washer and dryer–a perk not often found within city limits. Recent upgrades include a new roof, hot water heater and water main, updated electrical panel and Nest thermostats.
