The current four-family layout includes a ground floor one-bedroom, one-bath unit and a first-floor two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit, both with garden access.

Built in 1911, Chester Court is a self-contained New York City historic district featuring a double row of Tudor Revival homes flanking a quiet cul-de-sac street. Built by prominent architect and developer Peter J. Collins, the fairy-tale enclave is inspired by European-style courts, particularly those found in Chester, England. The 18 Chester Court homes feature attractive forecourts, oriel windows, and red Flemish-bond brick and stucco facades trimmed with distinctive, alternating half-timber patterns. As the first Tudor Revival row houses in Brooklyn, and perhaps the city, this largely intact historic district represents an important moment in New York City's rich architectural history and presents an outstanding opportunity for a discerning buyer. Set within minutes of Prospect Park's eastern edge, this fantastic building offers outstanding access to verdant outdoor space, recreation and year-round events and green-markets. Enjoy Brooklyn's renown dining and nightlife scenes, plus outstanding access to transportation with B, Q, S, 2 and 5 trains all nearby.
