147 Rugby Road, HOUSE

Designed by renowned Architect Carroll H. Pratt in a style that can only be described as Gothic Victorian, this magnificent 7 bedroom, 4.5 bath home has extraordinary original detail that takes your breath away! The minute you walk through the front door, you will see stunning architectural detail in every direction. To the right a sprawling double parlor with oversized, new, windows that flood the rooms with light. There are pocket doors that separate the two rooms, coffered ceilings, and a decorative fireplace flanked by built in bookshelves. To the left is an amazing oval dining room with a painted gold, plaster molding ceiling and leaded glass and oak break fronts. The dining room conveniently opens on one end to a sun drenched enclosed porch and on the other end is a door leading to the beautifully renovated, eat-in-kitchen with cherry floors and custom cabinetry, Quartz countertops and a double wall oven. As if that was not enough, there is another sun room at that back of the house that looks out onto the garden, and a recently renovated powder room. On the second floor are four large bedrooms and 3 full baths and on the third floor an additional three bedrooms and one full bath. There is exceptional original wood work throughout the home, beautiful leaded and stained glass and gorgeous floors that have been protected by carpets for years. Just steps to the shopping and restaurants of Cortelyou Road and the B&Q trains to Manhattan.
