This four-bedroom, 2.5 bath house with a den and huge rec room is truly special: It has been completely renovated from top to bottom. And the pictures dont lie: it is absolutely gorgeous. The work was done by a boutique developer with an eye for detail who spared no expense on the infrastructure of the house. No half-measure mechanical updates here: the plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems are entirely new, done by highly reputable contractors. Nest thermostats power two brand new high-efficiency furnaces with chillers that provide zoned central heat and cooling. The roof, skylights, windows and interior/exterior doors are all new. The house has been fully insulated to save money and energy. Thoroughly renovated houses of this quality rarely come on the market. (Dont be fooled by houses that look updated but have ancient mechanicals or have had poor work done.) Originally built in the 1920s, the house is the only one in the row to retain its unique embossed metal coat of arms and floral flourishes in the upper part of the facade. The open porch has been preserved and invites afternoon lounging. Luxurious new additions to the house include Carrara kitchen counters, herringbone tile backsplash, marble baths, gorgeous brass and glass light fixtures, built-in shelving and closets, new rift and quarter-sawn oak flooring, stone patio and cedar fencing, all designed with great style. The house feels much larger than it looks from the street. The kitchen, dining room, and living room on the main floor form a large open space, perfect for family life and entertaining. At the back of the main floor is a sunny bedroom with an attached half bathroom and access to the back yard. Its staged as an office but could be a nice guest bedroom too. Upstairs are three more bedrooms and two spa-like marble bathrooms. The master bath has a generous shower while the other has a deep Duravit soaking tub. Both bathrooms have new skylights to bathe you in natural light.The fully finished rec room in the basement has direct access to the back and front yards. Renovations of this quality do not come to market often. Make it yours. Do you want parking? If so, you will have the opportunity to take over a rented parking space across the street from the house for $185 per month.The house has easy access to many restaurants/bars/shops in Kensington and Windsor Terrace. Close to Brancaccios, Hamiltons, Sawasde Thai, Brooklyn Comfort, Church Bar, La Loba Cantina, Steeplechase Coffee, and so many more. Prospect Park and the Tennis Center are a very short bike ride away. The F/G train (Church Ave) is around the corner.
