Your country home in the city! The enchanting journey starts outside, in the sleepy neighborhood of Ditmas Park filled with magnificent Victorians that boast front porches and backyards. There, in the middle of a tranquil, tree-lined cul-de-sac, is this idyllic c.1915 home. With 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, sun-strewn rooms and an oversized rear garden, it could be your dream come true. A large front porch outfitted with a swing and lounge chairs is your initial welcome. Imagine enjoying a light breeze on a warm summer night, right here in Brooklyn! The front door opens into the living room, which is laid out around a gas fireplace. Built-in shelves and cabinets on either side gracefully display books and collectibles. Large bay windows let the south-facing light stream in, and the turn of the staircase creates a lovely front parlor, the perfect spot for your piano! Pocket doors reveal a gracious formal dining room illuminated by four windows with space enough for holiday dinners. The light-filled galley kitchen is imbued with a feeling of indoor/outdoor living. Recently renovated, it has all the bells and whistles: six-burner Dacor chef's range and hood, oversized Kitchen Aid refrigerator, GE Monogram double wall oven, two sinks, Bosch dishwasher and radiant heat. White shaker cabinets, a stone backsplash and lush granite counters complete this well-appointed kitchen. Located at its far end is a charming breakfast nook, a prime spot to drink your morning coffee and watch cardinals in the peaceful garden. A powder room is conveniently located on this floor. Step out onto the deck: another spot to sojourn and enjoy communing with a bountiful garden of cherry and dogwood trees, roses, peonies, lilacs, day lilies and a butterfly bush. Up one flight of stairs, the primary bedroom is luxuriously expansive -- large enough to include an entire dressing area -- and boasts a total of seven windows with three exposures as it extends the full width of the house. The oversized bathroom has a marble top wooden vanity, a beautiful stained-glass window overlooking the backyard and bathtub/shower. The washer and dryer are found here, and there is a linen closet just outside the door. A second large bedroom completes this level. The top floor offers bedrooms three, four and five. One is complemented by an additional windowed play space - a dream for the child in each of us. The fourth bedroom is large enough for a king-sized bed, and the fifth is perfect for a twin bed or bunkbeds, and has an en-suite bathroom with a standing shower and colorful tiles. Very well maintained, the house has hardwood floors throughout, tall ceilings and stained-glass windows among other original architectural details. The clean and open basement, accessible through the kitchen, has ceilings high enough to stand comfortably and another W/D hookup. The garage is accessible through a shared driveway; front and back are outfitted with an in-ground irrigation system, and a shed will house your garden equipment. Shopping and dining opportunities abound just a few minutes away both at Newkirk Plaza and Cortelyou Road where the Q and B trains will whisk you off to Union Square in less than 30 minutes.
