16 De Koven Court

Perfectly nestled in a row of quaint Victorians on the most beautiful cul de sac, the setting of this lovely home could not be better. With 3200 interior square feet on a generous 40 x 105 ft lot, this light-filled, flex 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home has amazing bones and cool, modern additions that have been added over the years. An absolute dream for relaxed living and effortless entertaining, the sprawling parlor floor has a double living room big enough for two seating areas, and flows seamlessly into the dining room with a working fireplace. The huge, eat-in kitchen has a giant picture window overlooking the backyard and painted wood cabinetry, a long stretch of granite countertops with an undermount sink and stainless steel appliances. A powder room and front loading washer and dryer with granite folding counter are conveniently tucked into a corner and there's also access to a private backyard oasis, making it easy to spend lots of time outdoors. Owned by a passionate gardener, the landscape design, established plantings and artistic ornamentation all around the house make you feel like you are in Laurel Canyon or the forests of Japan! The second floor features three large bedrooms. The big and bright primary can accommodate a King sized bed with plenty of room to spare and has a huge, windowed walk-in closet that could even be an office, plus a large, ensuite bath with shower/tub combo. Down the hall are the additional two, sunny bedrooms, the second bath with another shower/tub combo and a door to a huge deck that runs the length of the house and overlooks the backyard. The spectacular third floor is a glorious, versatile open space with soaring, vaulted ceilings and a huge skylight. It could easily be transformed to add two additional bedrooms, a family room, guest or primary suite or anything your heart desires. There is also another full bath with a shower/tub combo on this level. Additional exceptional features include parquet floors, stained glass, the original staircase, and private driveway that can accommodate 1-2 cars. Recent updates include brand new roof, Split System AC units throughout the house, boiler and hot water heater. All of this in close proximity to the shopping and restaurants of Foster Ave, Cortelyou Rd, Newkirk Plaza and the B & Q trains to Manhattan.
