Standing regally in a Brooklyn enclave richly layered in history, heritage and tradition, this classic 2,578 sq ft home stuns with its intricate detail, sprawling spaces, and craftsmanship. Stone steps lead to a newly rebuilt wraparound front porch surrounded by a colonnade of pillars. French doors usher you into another era as you enter a foyer rich with wood detail and ornate design. A picturesque parlor with coffered ceilings, stone fireplace, and stained-glass windows follows. A grand double doorway opens into a living room with soaring exposed wood beams, large stone fireplace, stained glass windows, sconces, and wainscoting suitable for a country manor. Another double doorway leads into a large formal dining room, where the exposed wood beams and parquet floors continue, with all the original window and door frames. A wood-paneled staircase takes you upstairs, where the house boasts four out of its six bedrooms, complete with bay windows, hardwood floors and additional fireplaces. Two bathrooms reside on the second floor; one a large Jack and Jill bathroom with period subway tile flooring, stained glass windows and original period bathtub. Another staircase brings you to the third floor, which houses two more bedrooms, a full bathroom and a walk-in closet. Well-loved and cared for by its owner, this home has a new gable roof with new gutter systems and soffits. There is a detached one-car garage with private driveway, and a new auxiliary water heater. The home is close to Midwood Montessori School, Midwood High and Public Schools 315, 889 and 193, as well as Brooklyn College. The vibrant shopping and restaurants of Flatbush Junction, Newkirk Plaza and Cortelyou Road are nearby, with easy city access via the 2,5, B and Q trains. This gem of a home, be it for the growing family or seasoned developer, is brimming with character, space and potential, and a true Brooklyn treasure that will generously reward its new owner with its quality, charm and value.
