    Welcome to 278 Lefferts Avenue, a newly renovated brownstone duplex tucked along a picturesque tree-lined street in the heart of Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Spanning two thoughtfully designed levels, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence pairs classic Brooklyn charm with modern comfort, complete with an expansive finished lower level and a large private backyard. Enter through a bright, skylit stairwell that leads to the main living floor, where an open living and dining area creates an inviting space for both relaxing and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen features rich dark wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and a clean, modern aesthetic. Split-system heating and air conditioning provide efficient year-round climate control throughout the home. The generously sized bedroom offers a walk-in closet and private en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub and crisp subway tile finishes. An additional full bathroom on the main level adds extra convenience for everyday living and guests. Downstairs, the expansive finished lower level opens up a world of possibilities-home office, media room, workout space, guest area, or a combination of them all. This level also features a half bath, in-unit washer and dryer, and direct access to the oversized private backyard, creating a seamless extension of the home's living and entertaining space. And then there's the location. Just one block from the 2 and 5 trains and only three blocks from Prospect Park, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the neighborhood and an easy commute around the city. Lincoln Market, neighborhood coffee shops, cocktail bars, bakeries, and restaurants are all close at hand, with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, NYC Health + Hospitals facilities, and SUNY Downstate also nearby. With its generous proportions, flexible duplex layout, private outdoor space, and beautifully renovated interiors, 278 Lefferts Avenue offers a rare opportunity to enjoy true brownstone living in one of Brooklyn's most vibrant neighborhoods. There is an upfront $20 application fee to apply. First month's rent and one month security deposit is due at lease signing.
