This charming single family brick home has been home to the same family for over 40 years. Built around 1905, it is well maintained and ready for the next owners to take it to the next level. It features some beautiful period details, including coffered ceilings, built in cabinetry, wood columns and a stained glass skylight. The back porch and garden, which span about 950 square feet, will leave you contemplating your house warming party and looking forward to many more events through the years.
On the parlor floor, you'll find a large living room, separate dining room with coffered ceilings and awesome woodwork, and a galley kitchen that leads to the rear porch and huge back yard and garden. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, a skylit hallway and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms is used as a walk-in closet and you can decide whether you prefer to use it as a closet or an office. The finished basement is currently used as a recreation room but could also serve as office space. It has access to both the front and rear yards, mechanicals, laundry, a full bathroom and a bathroom.
The block shows that neighbors take pride in their homes. The block has enjoyed multiple Greenest Block in Brooklyn awards, offers a Little Free Library and has a Monarch Waystation awarded by The Monarch Watch Organization to aid yearly Monarch Butterfly migration.
