This exceedingly charming 7 bedroom, 2.5 bath Victorian gem in the desirable Ditmas Park neighborhood of Brooklyn will instantly win your heart with its incredible location, lovely setting and fabulous living space! Nestled on a beautiful tree-lined street amidst other stunning Victorians, the renovated 1901 jewel-box home makes a striking impression with its distinctive architectural design. Enhancing the warm, inviting tone is a pretty landscaped front garden, brick paver walkway & steps, and large wraparound porch with a swing for the ultimate outdoor pleasure. A long private driveway proceeds back to a convenient 2-car garage providing plenty of parking for vehicles. Main entry doors lead into exquisitely-detailed living space on the expansive parlor level. Here an airy open floorplan for entertaining is met by generous natural light. Further complementing the classic yet contemporary ambiance are such wonderful elements as original parquet floors, tasteful wainscoting and moldings, gorgeous stained glass, and an original staircase; all in pristine condition. The gracious living area brightened by a bay of triple windows spills into the formal dining room through a wide opening where you can comfortably serve sit-down meals for up to 12 with an elegant backdrop. The eat-in kitchen is appointed with ample cabinetry plus a pantry, Caesarstone countertops, tile floors & backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Adjoining is a splendid sunroom enveloped by windows, perfect for such uses as a den, breakfast room, playroom or office. Rounding out the main level is a guest powder room, and access to the lush, spacious grassy fenced rear yard for relaxing, barbecuing, and gardening. Four sun-bathed bedrooms with excellent closet space and a full hall bath comprise the 2nd floor. Another 3 well-proportioned bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and 2 huge storage closets occupy the 3rd level, affording versatile space for a home office and other purposes. Extending the living quarters is a big finished basement (approx. 900 sq ft) featuring a rec room with columns, recessed lighting & wood floors, laundry room with sink & full-size LG washer/dryer, and modern renovated tile bath with glass-encased shower. A new roof, new hot water heater, new water main line, updated electrical panel & Nest thermostats take this beauty over the top!
