535 Marlborough Road

All the charm of Ditmas Park waits for you in this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath Queen Anne-style house on a tree-lined street. Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years, the house preserves an abundance of original details, including hardwood floors with mahogany inlay, picture-frame molding, and wainscoting. Plus a leafy backyard beckons at the end of your private driveway and freestanding garage. Framed by beautiful, arched windows, the full-width sun porch, perfect for lounging, reading, and relaxing, welcomes you into the home. A painted brick fireplace warms the double-deep living room, large enough for two sitting areas. The grand formal dining room recalls dinner parties of years past, with wainscoting and large windows. Two windows brighten the kitchen, and a tucked-away powder room adds convenience. The center staircase leads to the sun-drenched bedroom level, where two exposures light up each spacious bedroom. Storage is plentiful throughout, with large closets in each bedroom, a cedar closet, a hall closet, and a linen closet in the bathroom. The full bath with tub features original subway tiles and honeycomb floor tiles. With wooden floors already installed, the full basement is ready to be finished into a rec room, home office, or media room. The neighborhood bustles with restaurants and shopping at Newkirk Plaza, with Coffee Mob, banks, pharmacies, and groceries all nearby. A short distance to Cortelyou Road, with shops such as Brooklyn Industries and restaurants including the Purple Yam, the Farm on Adderley, Mimis Hummus, Lea, Catskill Bagel Company, and the Costello Plan, and grocery shopping at Flatbush Coop. Transportation is quick and easy with the B/Q stop at Newkirk Plaza just a few blocks away.
