This three-story house on a corner lot in historic Ditmas Park offers a perfect way to enjoy a lush yard, a sprawling wrap-around porch, a long driveway, and a spacious garage while living in the middle of bustling Brooklyn. Inside, you’ll find 7,480 square feet of living space with eight bedrooms and a finished basement, all with historic details beautifully preserved and renovated for 21st-century living. Built in 1909, the Flatbush townhouse is asking $3,750,000.
Just off a windowed entry with two coat closets is a grand foyer that anchors the home’s stairway. Pristine architectural details include polished hardwood floors with inlaid borders, wainscoting and millwork, sash and stained-glass windows and pocket doors; coffered ceilings frame the formal dining room.
Flanking the foyer are formal living rooms with fireplaces (the home has four in all). Recessed lighting and zoned A/C are evidence of modern updates.
A large, sun-filled eat-in kitchen features a dining peninsula, lots of cabinets, and red brick accents; the kitchen opens onto the home’s private garden. Also on this floor are a windowed powder room and an elegant library with built-in shelving and glass-fronted cabinets.
On the next two floors are eight large bedrooms–four on each floor–and three full baths. The home’s primary suite boasts a massive dressing room and a smaller closet. An equally spacious en-suite bath has a step-in shower and a deep soaking tub.
On the home’s top floor are four more large, well-appointed bedrooms and a full windowed bath with a charming cast iron soaking tub.
The home’s basement is its own large and functional living space with a separate entrance. Here you’ll find a utility kitchen, a laundry room, a wine cellar, a powder room, and a den with a bar. There’s extra space here for a home gym or office, and enough left over for storage galore.
