Description

You will absolutely fall in love with this one-of-a-kind 20" X 50" English Revival Townhouse.

This single-family home offers five-plus bedrooms and three full baths, elegantly proportioned living spaces, charming original details, three sunny exposures, and a south-facing garden. This unique property is one of the grandest homes in the Kenmore-Albemarle Terrace Historic District of Victorian Flatbush, a quiet double cul-de-sac of Georgian Revival townhouses.

To the left, the living room, with a gracefully arched alcove mantle with a tile-fronted, wood burning fireplace framed by inglenook bench seats and built in bookshelves, to the right through French doors, the formal dining room retains the charm with original wainscoting, a leaded glass built-in china cabinet, and a large triple window; the renovated chef's kitchen features a fully hooded and vented five-burner chef's stove, farmhouse sink, large center island with bookshelves, an oversized refrigerator and generous cabinet and counterspace space throughout The kitchen opens to the expansive patio garden, framed by established perennials, perfect for entertaining.

3rd Floor: Perfect for a guest suite, the third floor boasts a total of three bedrooms and a full bath; one full-sized bedroom with sunny south-facing windows and antique built-ins, one bedroom facing north with north and west exposures, and a third bedroom easily convert to a home office or dressing room.

Lower Level: The basement can be accessed by interior stairs or a full width stairway from the garden. This space offers a variety of windowed recreation and storage rooms and workspaces, updated mechanicals and a large laundry room.
