404 Caton Ave

This gorgeous two-family house has been exquisitely restored and updated. The owners duplex has four bedrooms, two baths, a large family room and a home office. The ground floor rental apartment is in excellent condition and provides a high rent. Numerous original elements of this barrel-fronted brick house have been painstakingly restored including gorgeous parquet floors with mahogany inlay, two wooden fireplace mantels, window casings/crowns, plaster cove moldings, a hand-carved newel post, and wood lattice work. Luxurious new additions to the house include Carrara kitchen counters, SubZero and Bosch appliances, herringbone tile backsplash, marble baths, gorgeous glass and brass light fixtures, built-in closets, a steel deck with eucalyptus decking, and a landscaped back yard with a cedar fence. The updates made to the houses infrastructure should also be considered a luxury: the electrical system is brand new, the plumbing for both bathrooms and kitchen is entirely new, and the heating and Central A/C systems are entirely new, including a Nest thermostat. The roof, skylight, and windows are also new. The owners duplex feels unexpectedly large: the living room, kitchen and dining room on the parlor floor form a wonderful open space for your friends and family to be together. A large deck off the dining room has stairs down to the back yard. Also on the parlor floor, tucked away at the back, is a guest bedroom and a full bathroom. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, another full marble bathroom with a Duravit soaking tub, a large family room (or a 5th bedroom), a home office with incredible wood details and a washer/dryer.(The one-bedroom rental apartment on the ground floor is currently rented at $1800/month, covering approximately $400k of your mortgage. Check with your mortgage broker for exact figures). The house is on the border between Kensington and Windsor Terrace. A block away from the well reviewed restaurants/cafes/shops on Fort Hamilton, including Brancaccios, Fina Pizza, Batata, and Hamiltons. Prospect Park is a very short bike ride away. A few minutes walk to the F,G at the Fort Hamilton stop.
