144 Westminster Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11218

Commissioned by author and Episcopal rector Rev. Frederick Wright, and designed by Brooklyn architect Benjamin Hudson, 144 Westminster Road was built in 1910 in a neo-Georgian style with classic detail - a diversion from the many Colonial revivals that typify the neighborhood of Prospect Park South. This elegant three story (plus basement), 3563 square foot single family home sits on a gorgeous 60' x 100' lot, and has a private driveway with a detached garage. While the home is move-in ready, seven bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms offer countless options for reconfiguration. The first floor entry foyer provides access, via gorgeous pocket doors, to three distinct living spaces - a large living room with a wood burning fireplace, a charming front parlour with access to a screened porch, and an elegant dining room with a decorative fireplace. The adjacent position of the powder room, dinette and kitchen make the space ideal for entertaining. The kitchen has been beautifully renovated with quartz counters and a stainless steel appliance suite, and looks out over the lush garden and patio. The upper levels can be accessed via the main staircase, or by a convenient rear staircase just off the kitchen. The second level has four large bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a primary ensuite with an adjacentoffice space, ideal for an easy expansion into a massive primary suite. The two South facing bedrooms on this level exit to a rare 31' balcony. The top floor has three more bedrooms, each with its own massive storage closet, a versatilelibrary/study space and a full bathroom. The expansive finished basement has a convenient full bathroom with a walk-in shower, perfect for washing dogs and humans alike, and a stairway to the rear garden. Set on a bucolic block amidst the architecturally significant homes that make up the Prospect Park South historic district, 144 Westminster Road is rich history woven into the reality of contemporary Brooklyn life. This magnificent home is five blocks from the Q/B subways at Beverly Road, two blocks from the Parade Grounds adjacent to Prospect Park, and minutes from the wonderful shops, restaurants and amenities that make this neighborhood one of New York City's unique treasures.
