Welcome to your new home. This spacious home is a seamless mix of original details and contemporary renovations. Enter via the spacious vestibule, with an abundant amount of storage space, into the magnificent foyer with a gorgeous stained glass window, period staircase, beautifully carved wooden fretwork, and built-in benches with additional storage.
You will be impressed with the expansive living room, beautifully renovated to incorporate the original front porch and columns into the interior space. Light streams through the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. The room's focal point is the handsome gas fireplace with mantel but the oversized living room allows for numerous layout options-- perfect for large gatherings of family and friends.
Directly adjacent is the elegant formal dining area, distinguished by architectural details such as wainscotting and molded plate rail. Also, it is perfectly situated between the living room and breakfast room with easy access to the kitchen. The well-configured, windowed, sunny kitchen has granite countertops, custom-made cabinets and stainless steel appliances. There's more than enough cabinet space for your dishes, countertop appliances, and pantry items.
Enjoy the sunroom year-round, a perfect place many times of the day. Exit to the yard, as well as the 2-car garage. The yard is currently set up with a separate play area, dining space, and an installed above-ground pool. The basement has a laundry room, a full bathroom, and an enormous, finished area, shown as a gym. The two upper floors of bedrooms and bathrooms include a dreamy top-floor primary suite with vaulted ceilings and skylights, 5 closets (including a walk-in), an ensuite spa-like bathroom with a double sink, soaking tub, and separate shower, and an expansive private terrace. The second floor has a full bathroom and 5 bedrooms plus a flex room. Many of the rooms are currently carpeted but have been reimagined and virtually staged with hardwood floors. There are so many options for these rooms. They could be used as a home office, library, walk-in closet, media room, or playroom -- your only limit is your imagination.
Neighborhood attractions include the new playground on Bedford Avenue off Glenwood Road, Midwood High School, Midwood Montessori, and Brooklyn College. Flatbush Junction, Foster Avenue, and Newkirk Plaza offer many shopping and dining opportunities. B & Q and 2 & 5 trains to Manhattan all nearby. Cortelyou Road restaurants, cafes, year-round Farmer's Market, and Flatbush Food Coop are all in close vicinity.
