Welcome home to this absolutely stunning, fully detached, five bedroom, two and a half bath 3005 sqft Victorian farmhouse, currently configured as a spacious single family home with parking on a picture perfect Windsor Terrace block.
The charming, turn-of the century home sits on a large 4500 sqft yard, offering a bit of country in the city, with a secluded front porch, a wrap- around garden, towering trees, and the sounds of chirping birds all around. A cheerful red door welcomes you inside, where a grand entry foyer dripping with handsome original details provides ample space to greet guests, with a proper coat closet to tuck things away. To the left the space opens up to the main living room complete with a working wood burning fiMorereplace and five windows, and a lovely tiffany style light fixture with original ceiling medallion. The formal dining room (with another working wood burning fireplace) is adjacent for an ideal entertainer's layout. Off the dining room is another lovely sitting room with a well-sized kitchen beyond. Sitting at the back of the house, the kitchen receives exceptional light throughout the day and features a lovely center island with sink and brand new dishwasher. Cabinet and counter space abounds, as do multiple built-in open shelves for your prettier kitchenware. Beyond the kitchen is a quaint powder room and a mudroom leading to the backyard. The large basement is also accessible from the kitchen, and while it is currently only used for storage and laundry, a ceiling height of over 7 feet does provide the option of one day finishing the space as an additional rec room.
Ascend the elegant staircase with its beautiful stained-glass windows and you find yourself on the main bedroom level of the home. To the front lies the largest of the four bedrooms on this level, which is currently being used as the primary bedroom. It was originally split into two rooms, but has since been combined to include the sleeping area to the right with a lovely bay window, well sized closet and a third working wood burning fireplace, and a home office to the left, which could also be used as a full dressing room or sitting area pending your needs. Down the hall is a linen closet, followed by three more bedrooms, all with closets and excellent light. At the end of the hall is a renovated, windowed, full bathroom, featuring a lovely marble and slate tiles, attractive fixtures and another linen closet.
At the top of the home, a very special 900 sqft, open concept third floor awaits! Vaulted ceilings reach a soaring 12'8 in the center, with double windows offering a light and airy feel throughout. At the back is a massive bathroom with a large platform soaking tub, separate open shower and open concept closet/dressing room, offering a perfect opportunity to create the master suite of your dreams with en suite dressing room, spa-like bathroom and plenty of space left over for a home office or gym. Alternatively use as a kid's playroom, teen hangout, or additional media or rec room - the possibilities are endless!
Outside the home is surrounded by verdant plantings including hydrangeas, hostas, roses and ivy, as well as several mature trees and a bamboo grove for lush seclusion. The backyard features both a patio near the house, and a large grass yard providing plenty of room to garden, play, relax and entertain. As if that were not enough, a legal curb cut and private driveway provides off-street parking for two cars. There is a garage as well, which is currently being used for storage.
The house is on a quiet one-way block, with a brand new playground currently being built at the end. It is located just one block from the lake at Prospect Park, with the Tennis Courts and Soccer Fields nearby, and is only 2 blocks from the F&G trains at Ft. Hamilton, as well as the popular offerings of Prospect Avenue such as Cena, Adirondack, Le Paddock, Della and Poetica Coffee."
