Description
This semi-detached four-story brick townhouse with a private driveway and garage stands as a testament to thoughtful preservation and contemporary sophistication. Built in 1920, this architectural treasure is nestled within the serene, double cul-de-sac of the Kenmore-Albemarle Terrace District, occupying one of Victorian Flatbush's most desirable hidden blocks where tranquility meets timeless elegance. The home's recent renovation represents a masterclass in balancing historical integrity with contemporary functionality. Spanning over 3400 square feet, every detail has been carefully considered to honor the property's original character while seamlessly integrating modern conveniences. The restoration showcases meticulously refinished original hardwood floors, pristine wainscoting, and beautifully preserved molding that speaks to the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The living room flows effortlessly into an artfully appointed dining room, serving both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. Three sunny exposures bathe the interior in natural light throughout the day, while the south-facing garden provides a private outdoor sanctuary.
The kitchen renovation exemplifies contemporary design sensibility, featuring a generous farmhouse sink, lustrous quartz countertops, and chef-grade appliances including a commanding 48-inch, six-gas burner range with griddle and double oven with a full ventilation system and an oversized refrigerator. Abundant cabinetry and a custom pantry solution provide sophisticated storage for the discerning home chef.
The upper floors house the primary suite alongside four additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A versatile home office offers the flexibility to serve as an additional bedroom, accommodating the evolving needs of modern living.
The lower level, accessible via interior stairs from the garden, presents windowed recreation spaces, abundant storage, updated mechanical systems, and a laundry facility. While the renovation has created a move-in-ready masterpiece, the home's thoughtful design allows for subtle customizations that would enable discerning buyers to imprint their personal style while respecting the property's architectural heritage.
From updating select finishes to reimagining certain spaces, the solid foundation of this restoration provides the perfect canvas for creating a truly bespoke residence.This is more than a home-it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn's architectural history, beautifully prepared for contemporary living while maintaining its distinctive character and charm.
