Description
Tucked along the charming, landmarked cul-de-sac of Chester Court in the heart of Prospect Lefferts Gardens, this elegant three-story Tudor Revival townhouse offers timeless architecture and modern comfort. Designed by noted Brooklyn architect Peter J. Collins and built in 1910, the home is part of a rare and picturesque enclave of historic English medieval–inspired residences that give the block its distinctive character. Gut renovated in 2013 with further upgrades since and spanning four levels of living space, the home retains many original details that highlight its historic charm while the modern upgrades add to its convenience. The gracious main floor features a wood-burning fireplace, a beautifully paneled dining room with a coffered ceiling, and intricate plaster moldings in the living room that reflect the craftsmanship of the era. The thoughtfully updated kitchen is equipped with custom vanilla cream cabinetry, granite countertops, a classic barn sink, Jerusalem stone backsplash, and a full suite of GE stainless steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator and double oven. A powder room is conveniently located on this floor. Upstairs two generously sized bedrooms (with a terrace off one of them) span the 2nd floor with a marble bathroom between. The master suite sits at the top, with its own terrace and extra large marble bathroom. The finished basement, with direct street access, offers additional room for recreation, storage, guests, or a home office. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with the two spacious rear terraces and a full garden—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying quiet moments outside. Additional features include a split heating and air-conditioning system that allows for individual room climate control throughout the home. Conveniently located near the B, Q, and S subway lines and the B41 bus, with easy access to the 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains. Glorious Prospect Park, the beautiful Brooklyn Botanic Garden, neighborhood shopping, and local dining are all nearby. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated historic home in one of Brooklyn’s beloved neighborhoods.
