Description

A chic blend of classic character and modern updates, this polished two-bedroom residence spans over 1,000 square feet and enjoys tranquil northern and eastern exposures. Set back from the street, the first-floor home offers exceptional light, privacy, and peaceful views overlooking the building’s front yard.

Original details—most notably the beautifully refinished parquet floors—have been thoughtfully preserved, while the home has been seamlessly enhanced with contemporary upgrades. Recent improvements include brand-new electrical throughout, custom built-in library shelving in the hallway, and fully built-out floor-to-ceiling pantry and closet storage. Added conveniences include a smart building door buzzer system and a Nest mobile-connected smoke and carbon monoxide alarm.

The kitchen was fully updated in fall 2020 and features stainless steel appliances, including a counter-depth refrigerator, five-burner gas range, new dishwasher, oversized countersunk workstation sink, and custom quartz countertops—perfectly suited for both everyday cooking and entertaining.

The bathroom, gut-renovated in spring 2021, blends vintage charm with modern sophistication. Highlights include the original 1930s deep soaking tub, a built-in medicine cabinet, and Carrara marble sink shelf and window ledge. Designer and vintage fixtures throughout the home create a cohesive, timeless aesthetic.

Ideally located just blocks from Prospect Park, multiple subway lines (B, Q, 2, and 5), and a vibrant mix of neighborhood restaurants and local favorites, this home offers classic Brooklyn living with modern comfort.
