From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
Set on a wide, picturesque, landmarked block in prime Prospect Lefferts Garden, this sun-drenched 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom two-family home seamlessly blends timeless Brooklyn character with modern luxury, generous proportions, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Completely gut-renovated from top to bottom in 2018 and reimagined by LA-based designer Andrew Cosbie, the home offers an inviting, open layout across multiple levels. The expansive parlor floor flows effortlessly from the living room to a formal dining room and into a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen at the rear. Soaring 9'6" ceilings, central air and heat, custom millwork, 6-inch-wide-plank floors, and abundant northern and southern exposures create a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the home. Original architectural details-including leaded-glass transoms, a decorative staircase, and original balusters-add warmth and character. The thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen balances high-end functionality with warm, natural materials. It features a Miele dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel double-door refrigerator, and Fulgor Milano range, complemented by open shelving and a generous island with bar seating and a butcher-block countertop. Soapstone counters throughout the remainder of the kitchen pair seamlessly with a handmade Zellige tile backsplash, creating an inspiring and inviting space that flows seamlessly to the dining and living areas. The upper level is anchored by a spacious primary suite featuring a beautifully finished en-suite bathroom with a skylight, deep soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed stall shower, and elegant Waterworks fixtures. A generous, windowed walk-in closet complements the suite. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, a full bathroom finished with Ann Sacks tile and Restoration Hardware medicine cabinets, ample outfitted closet space throughout, and a conveniently located vented washer/dryer complete this level. Downstairs on the garden level you'll find a separate, self-contained apartment that offers exceptional flexibility for extended family, in-laws, guests, or free market rental income. This well-appointed space features a tasteful and functional kitchen with stainless steel appliances, open shelving, butcher-block countertops, and a classic white tile backsplash. The exceptionally deep and sunny backyard was thoughtfully designed by Hunter Green in 2022 as a true outdoor extension of the home. A bluestone patio leads to an AstroTurf lawn, framed by a cedar fence and complemented by a cedar deck, creating multiple areas for lounging, dining, and entertaining. A private front yard provides additional outdoor space and enhances the home's connection to its picturesque block. Built circa 1905, this classic, barrel-vaulted brownstone is located within the Prospect Lefferts Garden Historic District and is surrounded by the neighborhood's renowned historic architecture. Prospect Park, local restaurants, cafes, and shops are all within easy reach, while the 2/5 express subway lines are conveniently located just down the block along with multiple bus routes.
