701 East 17th Street

Spacious, easy living in the heart of Brooklyn! 701 East 17th Street is a gracious and elegant landmarked home on one of the most magical tree-lined boulevards in historic Ditmas Park. Come home to a charming wrap-around porch where you can relax into conversation and alfresco dinners. Inside, find plenty of space for work, play, and peaceful sleep. High entry ceilings, graceful arches, a fireplace, and original wood detailing create a welcoming feeling. A sunny, generously-sized eat-in kitchen(featuring leaded glass windows, sleek black granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, and a huge butler’s pantry) lets you cook all that your heart desires—then sit down for relaxed meals together. A backyard deck directly off the kitchen makes outdoor grilling and eating easy, and beyond that, a peaceful backyard lets you soak in nature. When the time once again comes for entertaining, treat your guests in a stunning octagon-shaped formal dining room adorned with an original stained glass window, elegant leaded-glass china cabinets, wood wainscoting, and wood-burning fireplace. The front living room boasts a 6 ft tall pier mirror. Exceptional early 1900s inlaid wood floors and original stained glass art windows throughout create beauty and elegance in this gem of a home. Six generous bedrooms (almost all sized for king or queen beds) and 3 full bathrooms give you spacious room to spread out, so you can work, play, relax, and more. A clean, dry basement (with new boiler, new hot water tank, washer/dryer, and full-size freezer) gives you plenty of storage space for the things that support your life. A two car garage and driveway that fits four cars lets you hit the road at a moments notice for jaunts to the beach or wherever your heart desires. With great nearby shops and restaurants including Milk and Honey, Ox Tavern, The Farm on Adderley, Lea and Purple Yam--and just a few blocks to the B/Q subway line- this is where you'll want to live your life. Give me a call to see this truly special home, virtually or in person.
