9 Martense Court

A rare opportunity to own a one-family brick Neo-Renaissance home WITH parking and a garage, in historic Prospect Lefferts Gardens, on the edge of Ditmas and Flatbush, close to all shopping, Prospect Park and great transportation. Tucked away on a super quiet dead-end block, this is a pastoral paradise replete with all of its original details intact. Bring your architect and plan to do kitchen, bathroom, and mechanical upgrades, but keep the layout as-is and enjoy the grandeur of the past. Original details include extra high ceilings, original mantles and columns, stained-glass windows, stunning inlaid herringbone floors, plaster moldings and oversized windows. The icing on the cake is windows on three sides and amazing sunlight, afforded by a shared driveway that allows you to park one, if not two cars off the street. The parlor evokes the glamour of the gilded age with a formal living room, oversized windowed dining room, and a kitchen off the garden. Enjoy outdoor living in the front and the back, with a glamorous front porch and a private back garden. A huge basement with partial windows and high ceilings is a bonus space perfect for a gym, media room, extra guest room or even a home office. This is a stunning architectural gem, and an opportunity to renovate the home of your dreams in a very exciting up and coming neighborhood.
