Description

Gorgeous, detached 4+ Bedroom, 2 Bath Victorian on a sprawling, 50 x 100 double lot with parking for three cars! Airy space, gorgeous natural light and beautiful original detail are just a few of the coveted characteristics of this special home. Charming original details include heart of pine floors, stained glass windows, ceiling medallions and moldings. The parlor floor has the ideal open plan with one room flowing into the next. The ample living room has a pocket door and a bay of three windows and leads into the formal dining room with a beautiful, decorative mantle and another bay of windows. The bright, airy kitchen features Calacatta marble counters over gleaming white cabinetry, a deep farmhouse sink with a Waterstone faucet, white subway tile backsplash and open stainless-steel shelving. High-end appliances include an Italian Smeg range, Liebherr refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. The kitchen floor boasts reclaimed pine from a 17th century house. A glass door opens from the kitchen directly onto a big deck overlooking the sprawling double lot that feels like a private park! Off the kitchen is a stunning bath with a glass-enclosed shower with Rohl exposed shower hardware, penny round marble floor tiles, and a window overlooking the garden. The second floor has two bedrooms, including a large Primary bedroom featuring a wall of floor-to-ceiling custom closets. The second bath has a clawfoot tub with shower and a window with views of the treetops. The third floor has three sweet bedrooms with windows providing birds-eye views of Brooklyn. Just two blocks to the F train for a quick trip to Manhattan and near the lively shopping and restaurant scenes of Church Avenue, Cortelyou Road and Fort Hamilton Parkway.

Kensington is a residential Brooklyn neighborhood bordered by Prospect Park to the north and the landmarked Green-Wood Cemetery to the west, with Ocean Parkway running through its center as one of the borough's signature tree-lined boulevards. The housing stock includes brick rowhouses, prewar co-op apartment buildings along Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue, and detached Victorian homes on the side streets, served by the F and G trains at Fort Hamilton Parkway and Church Avenue. The B and Q express trains are accessible within a short walk, providing a 30-to-35-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan.
