78 Midwood Street

Beautiful Single-Family Townhome in Coveted Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn

Nestled on picturesque Midwood Street, this 18-foot-wide brick townhome offers classic Brooklyn charm and exceptional potential. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and original architectural details, this home combines timeless character with modern convenience.

Main Level
A welcoming foyer-style entrance leads into a spacious living room highlighted by a gas-burning fireplace (currently decorative, with plumbing in place for restoration). Overhead, an original chandelier with an ornate ceiling medallion adds vintage elegance. The open layout flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, featuring large bay windows and a beamed ceiling, creating a perfect space for entertaining.

The kitchen offers abundant floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a Wolf range - both fully functional though older models. A large window floods the space with natural light.

Below, an English basement provides access from both the front and back of the home. Currently used for storage and laundry (washer/dryer included), this level offers plenty of potential as an entertainment area or guest suite.

Outdoor Space :
The garden is a tranquil retreat, featuring a variety of plantings and a beautiful cherry blossom tree that transforms the yard each spring.

Upper Levels:
The second floor hosts two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath ready for updating. A bonus sunroom, perched above the extension, boasts seven windows, bathing the space in natural light - an ideal setting for a reading nook, art studio, or home office.

The third floor includes three bedrooms and another full bath. Two of the rooms are comfortably sized, while the third is perfect for an office or nursery.

A new roof (installed just one year ago) is equipped with solar panels to help offset electricity costs.
