37 Midwood Street

Seize this rare opportunity to own an exceptional turn-of -the-century, Neo-Federal townhouse, which has been loved and lived in by the same family for over 60 years! Located on one of Historic Lefferts' most beautiful tree-lined blocks, this wonderful home is distinguished by generous space and virtually all of its original period details. A spacious foyer with stately columns opens to a big living room with handsome fireplace, high ceilings and lovely south light. The full-width formal dining room is one the home's finest features, with its ornate woodwork and Arts & Crafts stained glass picture window. The pantry leads to the sunny kitchen with original built-ins and windows on two sides. From here, you access the garden and also the basement, offering a full footprint of open space, a half bath, and excellent storage. The upper floors feature 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a pass-through with working sink, and a sewing room/office, leading to the most charming glass enclosed sun-porch. Located in the Lefferts Manor Historic District (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), this architectural gem is close to Prospect Park, the Zoo, the Carousel, the new ice skating rink, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the area's newest restaurants and shops. And all just a few blocks from the B/Q/2/5 trains for a convenient commute into Manhattan.
