In the Prospect Park-adjacent Brooklyn neighborhood of Windsor Terrace, this compact brick row house at 247 Windsor Place begins with a wide, welcoming front porch. Asking $2,750,000, the 2,600-square-foot, four-bedroom home has kept its historic charm, while modern updates–like a repositioned staircase that allows for an open main-floor layout–add 21st-century liveability.

Past the front porch, the home’s main floor is framed by parquet-tiled hardwood floors and coffered ceilings. An open floor plan maximizes space and natural light.

Off the living room, a cozy nook is bordered by built-in seating and a decorative fireplace. Historic details like stained glass windows honor the home’s 1920s heritage.

The 16-foot-wide townhouse has plenty of room for cooking, dining, and entertaining. The updated eat-in kitchen is a modern classic with marble worktops and Bosch appliances. Designer lighting and plenty of windows add a contemporary feel to a sunny breakfast nook. A formal dining room opens just beyond the kitchen.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The set-back primary bedroom offers access to the roof for summertime sunbathing. Skylights add even more sunshine to the bright, colorful rooms.

The lower floor has been finished to add more living space. A full rec room, bedroom, and bath are perfect for a teen or guest. Also down here is a convenient laundry closet. Updated mechanicals include three-zone hydronic heating and an on-demand hot water tank.

From your front porch, you can look out on the surrounding south Brooklyn community, with plenty of shops and friendly neighbors. For outdoor activities, Prospect Park is just over a block away.
