1041 President Street

See this move-in-ready, single-family home on a charming tree-lined block in Crown Heights. The spacious, south-facing main floor is open-concept and loft-like but retains many of its old-world details, including the original fireplace, built-ins, and coffered ceilings. The freshly renovated chef’s kitchen has ample storage, custom cabinets, Gaggenau fridge, and windows flooding it with light. The dining room, which accommodates a massive table and adjoins a stunning powder room, is perfect for entertaining. There are three bedrooms upstairs, and a luxurious, large, sky-lit bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate tub. Roof, electric, and central heat & A/C are all new or recently redone; hardwood floors throughout. Seeking outdoor space? You’ll find a private, tiered yard; back patio and deck for cookouts; a large second-floor terrace; and a covered front porch for watching the world go by, rain or shine. (Oversized, 131-ft-long lot.) The fully finished, windowed basement has a separate entrance from the front and exit to the yard, washer/dryer, and full bathroom. Divided into two rooms, it’s perfect for an office, guest room/AirBNB, art/play space, or any combination of these. The location is unmatched: on a charming residential side street, a four-minute walk from the 2/3/4/5 trains, and a six-minute walk from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden or shuttle to the B/Q/C trains. Steps from the soaring Bedford Union Armory, which was recently converted to feature a rec. center w/ indoor basketball, six-lane lap pool, cardio & strength training, yoga, archery and event space. Nearby commercial life includes Bob & Betty’s Food Market (Union & Franklin); Agi’s Counter; Ital Kitchen (a veggie gem); and Union Market’s planned location at Bedford & Eastern Parkway. A quick walk or jog gets to you to bustling Franklin, Washington, Vanderbilt and Nostrand Avenues, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Grand Army Plaza Farmer’s Market, Prospect Park, and Brower Park.
