Description

Pluperfect Private Oasis...with Garage! ***Highest and Best Offers due on Thursday, March 4th at 2:00 pm *** Approach the lovingly renovated 5-bedroom, 2-bath home with three private outdoor spaces and a sense of tranquil permanence engulfs you. Beyond the landscaped front yard, there is a covered front porch that ready for iced tea and lemonade on summer afternoons. Enter the proper foyer and be immediately taken back to a bygone era with the restored old-world craftsmanship. Yet the tasteful renovation created the must-have open concept living for today's lifestyle. The living and dining areas are delineated by the original wood floor and gorgeous gourmet kitchen with a waterfall island and a cleaver side-pantry. The two bedrooms (currently used as a home office and art studio) on the first floor are looking onto the back-yard with an extensive patio for BBQ picnics for 2-20. A spa-quality full bath completes the main floor. Ascending the open staircase, you will find and additional sun-filled 3-bedrooms (2 of which could be considered primary bedrooms). The front bedroom has an adjacent room (used as a study room) that opens onto a second-floor porch...an ideal hideaway. The primary bedroom looking onto the back garden is oversized to have a separate sitting area or home office. Completing the second floor is a generous laundry room with a sink as well as another spa-quality bath. Additionally, there are hardwood floors throughout the first two floors. The full basement (1,032sf) has decent ceiling height, is currently used as storage but has endless potential. Completing the checklist is a private garage reached from a shared driveway...a must-have. Situated on a leafy block. Close to Prospect Park, Hamilton's, Jaya Yoga, Brancaccio's, Le Paddock, and Della's. Welcome home!

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.
