Here’s a very cute five-bedroom, two-bath house up for rent in Kensington, next to the border with Ditmas Park. The three-story detached home was renovated last year but still has a bunch of original details on the parlor floor, like wood paneling, a carved bannister and a lovely mirrored mantel in the dining room.

There’s a front porch, a huge backyard with a swing set and a finished basement that has a washer/dryer. The driveway on the side is a big plus too. One drawback is that it’s about nine blocks from any of the nearby trains — the Q at either Cortelyou or Newkirk, or the Ditmas Avenue F stop.

Also, one of the bedrooms can only be reached by going through another. Does it seem like a good deal for $4,900 a month?

  1. Looked at this place when we were looking to buy in the neighbourhood but was too slow off the mark. Looks like they did a nice job with it.

    It’s less than 10 minutes walk to the Q at Cortelyou Road so not too far and it’s at the end of Cortelyou where everything seems to be taking off – Sycamore, The Farm, Bar Chord, Leah, Hartwell, Highbury Pub etc..
