Located in the most coveted Cul de Sac in Historic Prospect Park South, and nestled amongst an impressive variety of architecturally significant houses, this enchanting 5 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath Colonial Revival is situated on a gloriously large 60 x 100 Lot and is rich with unique and beautifully preserved details and features that are refreshing in their refined simplicity.
