57 Midwood Street

Designed in 1898 by renowned architect William M. Miller, this exceptionally handsome Romanesque Revival limestone and brick townhouse is a showpiece, retaining much of its original period details. Located on Historic Lefferts Manor's most elegant tree-lined block, this four-story beauty has been extremely well-maintained and offers the best of brownstone living and room to spare. The remarkable details throughout the home include beautiful fireplaces with original tiles, inlaid parquet floors, stained glass windows and skylights, pocket doors, and so much more.

The dog-leg front stoop leads to a gracious entrance foyer and ornate parlor floor, with its elegant staircase, enormous detailed living room, full-width formal dining room, and a sun-filled kitchen, all enhanced by high ceilings and lovely light. The garden level of the home features a grand family room, open to a spacious and recently renovated kitchen. Also on this floor are the laundry room, a half-bath, pantry, and garden access. The backyard is a gardener's delight, with mature trees and a big brick patio. The upper floors offer 4-5 bedrooms, including the spacious full-width master bedroom. There are ample closets throughout.

Located in the Lefferts Manor Historic District (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), this remarkable home is close to Prospect Park, the Zoo, the Carousel, the new ice skating rink, The Brooklyn Museum, 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.
