182 Midwood Street

Come in for a peek of this beautiful and well preserved Brownstone, located on a very coveted block in Historic Lefferts Manor, one of Brooklyn's finest neighborhoods bordering Prospect Park! The house was designed and built in 1910 by famed architect Benjamin Driesler. His design of these elegant, sophisticated and well-constructed neo-Renaissance style buildings is prominent throughout the Manor north and south of this location.

Inside, while still very classic, the house has been top-to-bottom renovated--in a manner that is respectful to the original design. The double parlor remains undisturbed and features a decorative fireplace, pocket doors, and glassed-in bookcases. However, the coffered ceiling dining room and granite kitchen boast an open concept that is highly "of the moment"! It is stylish and makes for easy and convenient living as well as for excellent entertaining. There is new hardwood oak flooring throughout this parlor floor.

The renovation extends upstairs to the second floor where the hall bathroom is replete with marble finishes and in the former pass-through off the master bedroom, another stunning bathroom was added! It features black and white carrera marble, an oversized porcelain wash basin and sleek Toto lavatory. There are four bedrooms, all original parquet flooring, as well as two stained- glass skylights that provide an amazing flow of natural sunlight on this floor.

Downstairs on the finished basement level, the space is very welcoming and accommodating. The open floorplan is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. Currently it is set for games and television, there is a full bathroom. Full service laundry is in the rear as well as all new electricals, heating and plumbing. The installation of a new water main system was another major upgrade!

To complete this renovation, is a lovely south-facing garden featuring a pergola, pink roses in bloom, and honey-suckle. But the Sakura Japenese Cherry Tree, known for its excellent foliage, is queen of this garden!

Historic Lefferts Manor is a prime location and main portion of the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District. 5 minutes to gourmet shopping, dining as well as transportation. 10 minutes to world-class Brooklyn Botanic Garden!!!
