Stunning Neo-Renaissance turn-of-the-century barrel-front limestone with limitless possibilities on the most stunning block in historic Prospect Lefferts Gardens! Easy walk to Express B/Q trains and Prospect Park too! Wide and spacious with 2.5 baths, a large garden, and the potential for 6 bedrooms, this home has been artfully renovated and restored by its current owner as a stately 2-bedroom lower duplex and a top floor in-law suite with 3 bedrooms. Use the entire house, or invite friends or family to enjoy the spacious top floor for extra rental income. Wonderfully preserved Romanesque-Revival details throughout include hand-carved mahogany banisters, newel posts and doors; multiple dramatic wood and hand-fired porcelain tile mantles; stained glass skylights and bay windows; wood filigree; wainscoting; pocket doors; inlaid wood floors; and high ceilings on every floor. A spacious kitchen conveniently located off the garden has been transformed by a cool combination of rustic glass fronted apothecary shelving and matt gray kitchen cabinets. There is space for a large dining room and a super spacious living room, augmented by bay windows facing one of Brooklyns greenest blocks. The awe-inspiring double parlor is separated by functioning pocket doors and offers 12 high ceilings, crown and ceiling moldings, wide wood wainscoting, and amazing light. Currently used as two very spacious bedrooms with a newly renovated Jack and Jill 5-piece master bathroom offering a claw foot tub, brass Waterworks fittings, a clever Venetian plaster shower, and a steel and marble washbasin that evokes the old but offers the luxuriousness of today. Glass pendant lighting throughout brings an unexpected ambiance. The top floor is easily incorporated back into the house for 4 additional bedrooms with an easily removable kitchen that serves as the perfect space for two walk-in closets. Or leave the kitchen as-is and collect extra income. A large basement offers great storage. New roof and well-maintained mechanicals plus a lush back AND front yard make this your dream come true.
