292 Parkside Ave

Here's a wonderful opportunity to own a very charming home, rich with architectural detail, in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. This two-story with English basement home has room to spare, starting with a parlor floor living room with an ornate plaster ceiling, window seats and an original mantel. The center dining room still retains its hand-painted coffered ceiling, leaded-glass window and built-in cabinetry. Original oak parquet floors are throughout. The kitchen has been upgraded with a porcelain farm sink and stainless-steel appliances with a powder room conveniently located here, as well. Kitchen-to-patio meals will be easy to serve on the roomy deck located right off the kitchen while you watch your garden grow just below. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a full bath and two skylights casting a lovely glow through stained-glass panels. The basement is very spacious and houses another bath and rear room, which serves perfectly well as a secluded study or guest room. The hot-water heater and electrical panel are new, as is ductwork to the dryer, which is gas and vents to the outside. Surrounding the house are myriad amenities and activities, including the Lefrak Skating Rink; pedal boating, the carousel, zoo and tandem biking in the park; the Brooklyn Botanic Garden; horse stables; Tugboat Cafe, Cinnamon Girl, Gratitude, and more; Playkids Toys; Greenlight Bookstore (coming soon!); and both Maple Street School and Prospect Lefferts Monetssori. The Parkside Q is 1.5 blocks away; the 2/5 are another 1/2 block more. Well priced. Charming. Convenient to all.
