Property Description for 282 East 17th Street
Presenting a very unique offering in Ditmas Park, an enchanting single family home featuring all of the detail and amenities that make this neighborhood so desirable. One look at the vibrant architecture with beautiful shingle-work facade, abundant windows, incredible yard and gardens, and you'll understand just how special this property is.
The wrap-around front porch is enclosed with 19 windows. A pair of French doors in the wood paneled foyer lead to the expansive living room with wood-burning fireplace, mirrored-mantel, three exposures, and a pretty fretwork arch. The handsome formal dining room has a bay window with original wood trim. The large eat-in country kitchen features a Wolf range perfectly nested in the original brick hearth, two sinks, ceramic tile floor, and a large pantry. Sliding glass doors off the kitchen open onto a spectacular outdoor deck under a pergola covered with mature wisteria and trumpet vine. This magical space will be the scene of many an al fresco dinner party! The back door offers quick access to the garden, patio and garage. Also off the kitchen is a powder room, rear stairs to the second floor, and stairs leading to the basement with laundry and storage.
On the second floor are four bedrooms and two sun porches, one of them is used as an office. The windowed bathroom on this floor features a claw-foot tub with shower, pedestal sink and bead-board wainscoting.
On the third floor are three more possible bedrooms, a windowed bath with stall shower, and a large storage closet. The bedroom at the front - used as a family room - offers a panoramic view of the large stone church across the street.
This home has extraordinary outdoor space for gardening and entertaining. The large rear yard has plenty of room for the grill, a potting table, an expansive lawn area that wraps the South and East exposures of the house, a garden border with annuals and perennials, and a side yard with a vegetable garden. The paved driveway on the opposite side of the house leads to the two story, two-car car garage in the rear, with remote garage door control and plenty of storage space.
All of this just minutes from Prospect Park; Brooklyn's best cultural offerings; and Cortelyou Road's restaurants, shopping and coffee shops. The Q train stops at the Beverly Road station, just around the corner, and makes a Manhattan commute a breeze. Convenience, homey tranquility, the best of Brooklyn - that's life in Ditmas Park!

Prospect Park South | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Charming tree-lined blocks, grand homes, and grassy center esplanades - Prospect Park South feels more like a quiet suburb than Brooklyn, the most populated borough in New York City.
The small landmarked neighborhood in south Brooklyn is bounded by Coney Island Avenue to the southwest, Ocean Avenue to the northeast, Prospect Park to the south, and Beverly Road to the south.
Don’t let the suburban vibe of Prospect Park South fool you, urban grit awaits you just outside the neighborhood's boundaries. It’s about a 45-minute commute to Manhattan on the B, Q, or F train or a short walk to livelier neighborhoods. Prospect Park South is flanked by Windsor Terrace, Kensington, Ditmas Park, and Flatbush. It’s the best of both worlds.
The history of the neighborhood starts with its original developer, Dean Alvord. If it wasn’t for his unique vision, Prospect Park South may have never blossomed into what it is today. In 1899 Alvord wanted to take advantage of Brooklyn’s newly created railway system that connected the borough. He purchased farmland and began building the neighborhood, which began as a six-block-by-two-block swatch of land with grand homes. Many of the houses were Victorian-inspired. Alvord marketed the neighborhood as a slice of country in the big city and the rest is pretty much history.
Prospect Park South is a few blocks bigger these days. Its grand Victorian-style homes still define the neighborhood. Other architectural styles found in the nabe include Colonial, French Revival, and Spanish Mission. Apartments and a few prewar co-ops complete the neighborhood's housing stock.
There aren’t too many places to shop in Prospect Park South but you might find a few spots in the commercial areas along Coney Island Avenue and Church Avenue. The suburban setting of Prospect Park South is popular with young families, which is why they’ve flocked there for the last decade.
