This two-family Victorian in Ditmas Park sprawls over three floors and includes seven bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two kitchens and two laundry rooms. Original details abound, including hardwood floors, stained glass windows, pocket doors, fireplaces, and four separate outdoor porches. Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 25 years, this home is well-maintained and in excellent mechanical condition. The full basement provides extra square footage for storage as well as a workshop or flex-space, while the 4000 square foot lot includes a beautifully landscaped back garden, highlighted by a large, solidly-built, free-standing gazebo that seats more than a dozen people. In addition, there is ample room along the side of the house to add a curb-cut and driveway for private off-street parking. Conveniently located on a lovely tree-lined block just steps from trendy Cortelyou Road, the property is a short stroll from many shops, cafés and restaurants, including Brooklyn Industries, The Purple Yam, The Farm on Adderley, Mimi's Hummus, Lea, Catskill Bagel Company, Costello Plan and the Flatbush Coop. The Cortelyou Road B/Q stop is also less than a block away, allowing an easy 20 minute commute into Manhattan. With low property taxes, two legal apartments that can be rented from day one and a cap rate over 4.5%, this property would also make an excellent investment.
