Lefferts House

Lefferts House is a six-story prewar cooperative built in 1939 and set on a tree-lined Prospect Lefferts Gardens block. The mid-rise masonry building presents traditional 1930s proportions and an elevator-served layout with a part-time doorman and live-in superintendent. Units are primarily studios and one-bedroom floorplans (with occasional larger two-bedroom conversions reported), notable for high ceilings, original prewar details such as arched doorways and hardwood floors with inlaid medallions, and built-in shelving and foyer spaces that often double as dining or office areas. Kitchens are frequently renovated with granite counters and modern appliances; bathrooms range from classic tubs to recently updated contemporary finishes. Common areas include a renovated lobby with package storage, a central laundry room, bike storage and a private storage wait list. Building services emphasize everyday convenience—elevator access, doorman hours, porter and on-site maintenance—while the pet-friendly co-op structure supports owner-occupancy. There is no on-site outdoor amenity program; parking is not a building feature. The location is a primary draw: one block from the Q/B/S transit hub and two blocks from Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, with nearby cafes, restaurants, markets and cultural venues contributing to an urban-but-residential neighborhood lifestyle.
