265 Clarkson Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11226

An incredible opportunity to own an elegantly re-imagined mint condition two-family townhouse in Prospect Lefferts Gardens with its very own PRIVATE parking space, a ground-floor rental to help pay the bills (or keep for yourself), 5 beds, 4 baths, and a spacious garden perfect for everyday playing and entertaining. This stately property has been transformed into the perfect home for living large and comfortably in one of Brooklyn's most exciting and culturally dynamic historic neighborhoods, close to Prospect Park, great public transportation including Express Subways (2/5 at Winthrop 1 block away and Q at Parkside), and a wide range of restaurants, coffee shops, SUNY Downstate, diverse amenities and tree-lined streets in every direction. Built wide and extra deep, this three-story turn-of-the-century brick home retains many of its original historic details for warmth and hominess, but offers the incredible light and proportions you would expect from a loft. Original hardwood floors, moldings, preserved art deco entrance tile, vestibule door and hand carved banisters live perfectly in tandem with a split AC system and thoughtfully upgraded kitchens and baths throughout. The main floor consists of a grand triple parlor with a living room in front, spacious renovated kitchen in the middle and formal dining in the back off the garden. There is even enough space on this floor to accommodate both a full bathroom and a home office with garden views that could double as an extra bedroom! High ceilings bring drama to every room and accentuate the beauty of a chef's kitchen where no expense has been spared. Custom designed Micro Shaker-style white cabinetry, handmade backsplash times and Quartz countertops with a double island are the epitome of today's stylemakers and offer storage and practicality that knows no bounds. For the enterprising chef you can be assured of only the best with a 5-Burner Bertazzoni VENTED range and large Samsung French-Door Fridge complete with icemaker and matching dishwasher. The adjacent formal dining room will make entertaining a daily pleasure with pastoral views and a walkout to your private garden. Head upstairs to four bedrooms and two full baths, including a Primary suite with a walk-in closet and windowed bathroom that includes a double vanity, walk-in glass enclosed shower with a bench, and a full height medicine cabinet for endless storage. The additional three bedrooms share their own renovated bathroom complete with a tub/shower combo and great storage as well. All three of the full bathrooms in the owner's duplex have been thoughtfully envisioned in a timeless classic palette that includes terrazzo floors, Carrara marble vanity tops and finely-crafted ceramic tiled walls with a handmade rustic feel that perfectly aligns with the reinstated grandeur of the home. The fact that you can get four bedrooms plus two full baths all on this top floor demonstrates the sheer scale of this wonderfully light-filled spaced perfectly scaled for your entire family. And if a little additional income is needed to help pay your mortgage or taxes, rent out the lower level as a spacious studio apartment with its very own separate entrance for privacy. You can even keep this level for yourself if you need extra work-from home space or a mother-in-law suite. And of course, we would be remiss to not mention the fact that you can park your car right in front of the house for daily ease and convenience. No extra charge and never search for street parking again! This is a chance to get into a wonderful neighborhood before the prices skyrocket. Enjoy 4-to 6 bedrooms, a private yard, parking, and a piece of renovated history for less money many of the surrounding condos, and don't miss the incredibly low taxes too!
