Beautiful Kensington 4 Bedroom, 1.5 Bath House with Lovely Original Detail, a Finished Basement and a Huge Back yard! Perfectly located just a few blocks from the great shopping and restaurants of Cortelyou Road and nestled in a quaint stretch of turn of the century row houses, this enchanting home is the perfect combination of charming original character and thoughtful renovations. The front door opens to a cozy enclosed porch that can be enjoyed all seasons and doubles as a convenient mud room. The inviting Foyer and Living Room is a showcase of original detail including the beautiful original stair, multi-patterned parquet floors, coffered ceilings and an inviting decorative fireplace. The layout of the Parlor floor could not be more ideal with one room flowing into the other and generous portals that create elegant separations of space. The living room flows into the sprawling kitchen/dining room, an absolute Dream Come True for anyone who loves to cook and entertain. The obvious place where family and friends will gather, the gorgeous, perfectly designed kitchen has everything you could possibly want or need. Designer finishes include space-maximizing custom cabinetry, Quartzite countertops, subway tile backsplash, 5 burner stove and Whirlpool refrigerator and dishwasher. The sprawling center island has additional storage, an under mount farm sink with a garbage disposal and a bar-height countertop for casual dining. The generous dining area is big enough for a table that seats 6 or more and has a wall of windows overlooking the backyard. There is a walk-in pantry off of the kitchen with a door to the huge backyard, making enjoyment of the outdoors easily accessible. The second floor landing is washed in light from a lovely stained glass skylight and is home to four bedrooms and a full bath. The Primary room has a beautiful bay of windows that bathe the room in natural light, and two of the four bedrooms have big, walk-in closets. The recently renovated bath has a shower tub combo, open shelving, another stained glass skylight and radiant heat in the floor. The finished basement is a full floor of versatile bonus additional living space. Create an awesome rec room, home office, art studio OR home schooling space! There is also a laundry area with Samsung washer and dryer and a half bath, a large storage closet and a door to the back yard. All of this in close proximity to the B, Q & F Trains to Manhattan and the B68 and express buses. An enchanting schoolyard across the street has a basketball court, playground and small field and is open to the community after school and weekends.
