A rare opportunity to own a masterfully restored 20-foot-wide brownstone on one of the widest and most picturesque tree-lined streets in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District. Built in 1907 by renowned Brooklyn architect Axel S. Hedman, this exceptional single-family residence seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern luxury. Spanning over 3,800 square feet across four finished levels on an oversized 105-foot-deep lot, this home has undergone a meticulous top-to-bottom renovation featuring all new HVAC, updated electric and plumbing, all new windows, engineered hardwood floors, custom millwork, and designer finishes throughout. The parlor floor is rich with original detail, including soaring ceilings, an original fireplace, ornate moldings, hand-carved fretwork, a stunning pier mirror, and an extraordinary hand-carved staircase. Designed for entertaining, it offers a formal living room, elegant dining room, powder room, and a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, Miele appliances, and direct access to a rear deck overlooking the oversized backyard. The upper level features three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, laundry, and a luxurious primary suite with oversized windows, custom closets, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath. The garden level offers a second living room, a fourth bedroom with an en-suite bath, an additional full bathroom, and a custom coffee bar complete with a built-in espresso maker and wine refrigerator. A spacious bonus room opens directly to the backyard and is ideal as a family room, gym, office, or indoor/outdoor lounge. The finished lower level includes a powder room and flexible space perfect for a media room, playroom, gym, guest suite, or additional storage. Ideally located just south of Prospect Park and moments from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, and the B, Q, 2, and 5 trains, this is one of Prospect Lefferts Gardens' finest restored brownstones.
Prospect Lefferts Gardens, located between Prospect Park and Crown Heights, is a historic and residential New York neighborhood with limestone rowhouses and leafy side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at Flatbush Avenue and Lincoln Road, where Caribbean bakeries, produce markets, barbershops, and casual cafés keep the sidewalks busy. The Lefferts Historic House and the Prospect Park Zoo add a cultural, weekend-walk rhythm near the park edge. On Flatbush, Camillo anchors the dining scene with a polished, neighborhood feel. The Q at Prospect Park and the 2/5 at Winthrop Street shape commutes, while the park drives daily routines.
