IN CONTRACT TOWN & COUNTRY ~ Searching for a spacious and tranquil retreat offering serenity and convenience nestled away in Brooklyn? Welcome to 681 E. 24th Street -- a sprawling Victorian single-family home (24 × 48) situated on an oversized lot (50 × 100) boasting a private driveway, two-car garage, lush garden and four floors of expansive living space. Enter the home by way of an entry foyer with soaring ceilings, a sweeping staircase with gracious spindles, original stained glass windows, arches and impeccably preserved wood detailing and hardwood floors throughout. Via pocket doors, move on to the bright living room -- which welcomes the sun from three exposures absolutely flooding the living space with natural light. The elegant dining room is complete with pocket doors, a classic fireplace mantel and plenty of sunlight. The eat-in kitchen is a cook's dream with dual sinks (one in the center island ), stainless steel appliances, abundant counter space for preparing delicious meals to enjoy at home...and a magical hidden staircase that winds up through the house. Step out of the kitchen directly into a vast yard -- perfect for gardening, dining al fresco or just lounging in the sun. Upstairs, find four generous bedrooms, a walk-in closet and a full bath with a deep-soaking clawfoot tub. On the top floor, three more bedrooms awash in glowing sunlight provide a loft-like feeling. All of this sits atop a finished basement that includes laundry, a small kitchen and abundant recreation space to spread out, work, relax and play. Plant roots just a stone's throw from vibrant Cortelyou Road with its weekly farmer's market, food coop, delectable restaurants and unique shopping. Feel like you're living in a college town (Brooklyn College is just two blocks away) and enjoy the ease of a location that makes getting into the outdoors a breeze: Prospect Park is a short distance away and easily escape to the beach -- Jacob Riis Park is less than a 30-minute drive. Subways: Q/B at Newkirk Plaza & 2/5 at Flatbush Avenue.
