127 Rutland Rd

…with a Wonderful Garden: a Bright, Modern and Thoroughly Renovated House **First Access Open House 5/21 at Noon** Welcome to this brilliantly sunny and entirely renovated single-family house. Located on a most charming tree-lined block—127 Rutland Road boasts a shiny parlor floor encompassing an entryway vestibule and original glass-paned doors, a south-facing living room with large bay windows, a dining room, powder room—and a chic kitchen with two eating areas. Ceiling heights on the parlor floor are nearly ten feet, and original period details such as parquet floors, base and crown moldings, a decorative fireplace mantel and original bannister—have all been painstakingly cared for and restored. Thoroughly renovated by the current owners, a large eat-in kitchen incorporates a central island with breakfast bar, an eating nook with built-in banquets—along with ample cabinet and pantry space. A Jenn-air refrigerator, Bosch oven and stove, dishwasher and wine cooler, complete this enviable chef’s kitchen. A powder room was also added to this area of the house during the current owners’ renovation. The stellar garden is accessed via a series of single-paned glass French doors which run the length of the kitchen. A handsome wood deck extends to the house’s private green space—complete with turf, slatted wood fencing—and a large, well-established tree. Worth noting is the wonderful openness of this green oasis—with gardens on all sides and only other low-rise buildings on the block, this garden is the townhouse beau ideal: a sunny green space with plentiful light from all directions, open lines of sight, and lots and lots of blue sky. At the top of the staircase to the second floor, a stained-glass skylight illuminates the space from above. The primary bedroom suite is south-facing, and stretches the length of the house’s 20.5' front facade—including a graciously-proportioned primary bedroom measuring 19'2" x 12', an ensuite bathroom renovated by the current owners, and an adjacent bedroom, connected via paned-glass French doors; currently outfitted as a closet, this space could easily be used as an additional bedroom, home office or den. Two additional bedrooms are located on the second floor, with views of the sky and the house’s lovely private garden below. Accessed via the hallway, a second additional full bathroom was also renovated by the current owners, and features an additional skylight. A lower, windowed level of this home has been renovated by the current owners as a fully finished recreation room. It includes a full bath, a Samsung washer and vented dryer, a laundry sink and ample storage space—in addition to access to both the garden and an under-stoop street entrance. 127 Rutland features central air conditioning throughout the house. A well-known Brooklyn design-build firm—Rebuild Workshop—was hired to renovate the house by the current owners; the main architect for the project had previously been part of the team that designed Moynihan Train Hall. With several subway lines nearby, savor a culinary adventure with an array of international restaurants and cozy cafes—and immerse yourself in the beauty of Prospect Park nearby.
