This stately and proud Queene Anne style home in Prospect Park South features 7 bedrooms and 3.5 baths and awaits its new owner. Designed in 1899 by Henry A. Stunek, this landmarked and lovely single family home has gorgeous original architectural features, a private driveway with a 200 square foot garage, and an enormous backyard to relax in. You'll approach the house to find an exterior that is filled with whimsy. Its asymmetrical roof, gables, oriels and round shingled turret, doric columns and wrap-around porch will make you smile. Enter to find a large foyer with a grand central stairway, complete with multiple stained glass windows, a coat closet with its original mahogany mirrored door, and an incredible antique lighting fixture. The foyer leads into either the large formal living room or the dining room. The spacious formal living room has bay windows providing southern sun and flows seamlessly into the parlor which has a decorative fireplace. A large, open doorway leads into the dining room which has red and white velvet wallpaper, white beadboard wainscotting and a coffered ceiling. Walk past the butlers pantry and the powder room to find an immense, windowed eat-in-kitchen. The kitchen also provides access to the unfinished, high ceiling basement; has another stairway to the second floor; and has a back door to the backyard and the garage. The second floor consists of three bedrooms and two baths. There is an enormous primary suite, spanning the width of the house, with two exposures and an ensuite bathroom. It will be your perfect sanctuary. The middle bedroom is quite large and can easily accommodate either a queen side bed, or two twin size beds. The third bedroom on this level is truly sweet. Not only does it have the turret carve-out, it also pans the width of the house, with 5 windows, and has a french door leading to a balcony. The third floor provides the biggest surprise. You'll find 4 additional bedrooms here, a large storage room and another windowed full bathroom. All are real, generously sized bedrooms, that easily accommodate a queen or a king size bed. Use one as a play room, another as a yoga studio, it's your choice. The piece de resistance though is the turret bedroom - which is set up as a kids room, and has its own reading nook with bench seating in the treetops, overlooking the neighborhood. The backyard is beyond spacious and wraps around the house. There is enough space to play ball in the grass, shoot some hoops, play on the swingset, and enjoy a barbeque and dinner on the stone patio. There is a lot to love about this home. Come take a look - you will want to make it your own. Feel free to bring your designer and/or your architect. Situated in Prospect Park South, this home is just a block to Cortelyou Road and all the happenings there and nearby, including eateries such as the The Castello Plan, Purple Yam, Lea, Werkstatt and Wheated. The library is on Cortelyou and Prospect Park and the Parade Grounds are a short walk away. Transportation is easy with the Q/B trains at Beverley Road.
