Uncover the beauty inside this single family limestone on one of the prettiest and most sought-after blocks in Lefferts Manor. Built in 1911 by Architect Benjamin Driesler, this classic neo-Renaissance style home exudes period charm. Set back from the street behind a small landscaped garden are rounded bay windows, an egg and dart cornice and original double glass doors with decorative ironwork. Inside, the gracious parlor floor has an elegant dining room with a coffered ceiling, corner china cabinets and pocket doors fitted with ornamental stained glass. A decorative fireplace in the library could be restored to heat with gas. A stained glass skylight illuminates the grand staircase that leads upstairs. The front bedroom, with a triple bay, has French doors and lattice work leading to a small den or fourth bedroom. A pass through dressing room, with all of its original wooden closets intact, connects the two larger bedrooms from front to back. The updated bathroom is lit by a skylight. A large partially finished basement has a separate entrance, full bathroom, wood paneling and some hardwood floors. An enclosed back patio leads to a full garden ready for the green thumb. What this home may lack in recent cosmetic updates, it makes up for in big ticket projects. The facade has been completely restored and the chimney was rebuilt in 2013; the same year a new water heater was installed. All of the windows were replaced in 2006 and a new roof was laid in 2010. The furnace was replaced in 2003 when the heating system was converted from oil to gas. Located just a block away from the Gratitude Cafe on Rogers Avenue where a number of dining options are being welcomed to the neighborhood. Don't miss this opportunity to buy into the heart of the community at a reasonable price where you can add your own style.
