Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
The bedrooms are split by level. Two sit on the garden level, and the first floor holds three, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom. The parlor level is the main living floor, where pocket doors open from the grand entry into the living and dining rooms, and the renovated kitchen sits on the same level, so cooking and entertaining share one floor. I'd start the tour there, since that's where most of the day happens.
The kitchen has Arabescato Corchia marble countertops and backsplash, a Bosch appliance package, a Zephyr downdraft hood and an XO wine cooler, all set in Fabuwood cabinetry. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors on the parlor level open to the rear deck, which has outdoor speakers, so the same audio system carries from the rooms outside.
The house is a 1898 design by George Morgan, and it's landmarked within the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District. Pre-war houses like this tend to appeal to buyers who value defined rooms and architectural detail. Here that shows in the 5-inch herringbone oak floors, the carved wood in the entry, the crown molding, and the historic mantels in the living room and on the first floor.
Heating and cooling come from ceiling-cassette split systems, and a Russound speaker system with Sonos amplification runs through in-ceiling speakers on the parlor level. The finished cellar has a washer and dryer and an additional powder room, so laundry is in the unit.
Prospect Park is about 10 minutes away on foot, and the Winthrop St station on the 2 and 5 lines is about 8 minutes. Winthrop Playground is about 4 minutes from the door.
