For just under $2 million–$1,995,000, to be exact–this detached house at 525 East 3rd Street in the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn has plenty of room for family and friends, plus a deck, a front porch and a spacious yard and parking for three cars. The four-bedroom Victorian home is sun-filled and bright, with original details like heart-of-pine floors, stained glass windows, and ceiling medallions and moldings.
The parlor floor features an open floor plan with big, airy rooms. The living room features a pocket door and a bay window. A formal dining room boasts another bay window and a decorative fireplace mantle.
The bright, sun-filled kitchen features Calacatta marble counters and a deep farmhouse sink, framed by a white subway tile backsplash, open stainless-steel shelving, and reclaimed pine flooring from a 17th-century house. A well-chosen collection of appliances includes a Smeg range, a Liebherr refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher.
Off the kitchen is a sprawling deck overlooking a rare double lot. The park-like back yard awaits a patio and outdoor kitchen and a well-tended garden–there’s room for both. Also on this floor is a full bath with a glass-enclosed shower and a window overlooking the garden.
On the second floor are two bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers a wall of custom closets. The primary bath has a clawfoot tub, charming and timeless penny tile flooring, and treetop views.
On the third floor are three charming bedrooms with views of the rooftops of Brooklyn. There’s plenty of flexibility to add a bath, expand rooms or customize the floor plan.
A front porch and front yard have every season covered, from autumn and winter decorations to lazy summer days. This charming home is near the F and G trains at Church Avenue, and within easy walking distance to Prospect Park.
