329 Westminster Road

LIGHT FILLED & LOVELY. Turn-key two family Ditmas Park Victorian that is easily converted to a one family home. Past the landscaped yard and wide porch, through the tiger oak entry, into the warm and welcoming foyer with a built in window seat, you experience a house that has been carefully renovated and maintained. Original oak woodwork has been stripped and refinished with the utmost care. Stained glass windows greet you throughout the house, pocket doors slide with ease + the original decorative fireplace hearken back to a quieter time, giving you a lovely backdrop for future conversations in the front parlor. The back parlor has a south facing bay + adjacent to the formal dining room, replete with stained glass window. The crisp, clean kitchen elegantly combines the modern convenience of the stainless steel Bosch kitchen suite + butcher block counters, with refinished original cabinets and leads to the yard via the back porch. Off the kitchen is a full bath with Calacatta marble, Duravit dual flush toilet and sink with Hans Grohe fixtures. Opposite is an efficient, well lit and well-appointed home office. The 2nd floor (via the side entrance or through the main stair) is the legal 2 bedroom rental with EIK + new bath. All the walls have been repainted and floors refinished. Keep it as a rental + your tenant will have a small terrace off the back of the house. Reclaim this floor and you will gain a master suite + 2 front bedrooms (by putting back 2 doorways and removing the kitchen). On the way to the 3rd floor you pass original inset leaded glass cabinets and are greeted by vaulted ceilings, 3 bedrooms with separate temp control, a beautiful bathroom with a walk in shower, Duravit sink and Hans Grohe fixtures. A 2 speed, whole house fan quietly cools the top floor, or even the whole house. Skylights abound to give natural light throughout the 3rd floor. Out back is an extra-large yard, landscaped like the front with a continual rotation of blooming plants, including a cherry tree, Japanese plum, Japanese maple, pink dogwood, roses, daffodils, peonies, Virginia bluebells, fothergilla bushes, vinca minor ground cover, etc... Along the side is a driveway with car port. Primely located in Beverley Square West, it is perfectly removed from Cortelyou Road, but very close to all the restaurants and amenities at the end of the block. 3 blocks to subway; 1 block to express bus (downtown/ Wall St., and midtown buses).
