Description
The spacious interior, 20ft x...If you are looking for a home with great bones on a beautiful block then look no further. This neo-Renaissance style rowhouse, designed by Walter Seaman in 1910, is located in the sweet spot within the PLG Historic District yet outside the single-family covenant of Lefferts Manor. Here is a legal two-family, barrel-front limestone in the middle of a row of sister buildings with stained glass transoms highlighting the parlor floor windows capped by decorative friezes.
The spacious interior, 20ft x 55ft, has details that rival the glory of its exterior. With 10ft. high ceilings on both levels, the marquetry inspired wood floors and decorative trim are well worth preserving. Bay windows grace the front and back of each floor allowing sunlight to pour in. Downstairs, the semi-finished English basement contains a full bathroom and can be accessed from the street. Convert this home to a luxurious single family or create an owner’s duplex allowing for income from one floor as a rental unit.
Superbly situated on the north side of Lefferts Gardens very close to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The elevator accessible B/Q/S trains are close by at the Prospect Park station and the 2/5 are just a block away on Sterling and Nostrand. The block has a wine bar with small bites on one end and a Citi Bike dock on the other. Sterling Two's active block association throws a really fun party every summer and is interested in greening this already lush street.
