If you are looking for a comfortable living space with a glorious garden then come to see this charming historic home in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Not only a home, it serves as an artist's studio, a writer's sanctuary and a home school. All of this and still enough space to house a substantial collection of books. Built in 1905 as a two family residence, it is configured as a single family with two floors and a finished basement (20' wide by 50' deep). For those seeking income, connections for another kitchen exist on the second floor. Welcoming double doors draw you inside to admire the elegant oak staircase illuminated by a skylight on the second floor. Pocket doors elegantly frame the front parlor with high ceilings and a bay window overlooking a lovely Japanese Maple. The open floor plan has archways to define the space or to attach doors to create separate rooms for a two family conversion. An abundance of natural light permeates the living space from generous bays at both ends. The kitchen, with new stainless-steel appliances and attractive wooden cabinets, is open to the dining room and well situated for dinner parties on the back porch. The owners have transformed the garden from a concrete jungle into a mature garden filled with a variety of seasonal perennials and greenery offering a tranquil retreat. The gracious second floor consists of five rooms and a full bathroom. The spacious rear bedroom is connected to what was formerly the kitchen, now a walk-in closet, with the plumbing capped but still in place. The largest bedroom, in the front of the house, contains double closets and a dressing area. Since both of the front rooms benefit from bright, indirect northern light, they are used as an art studio and home office. The center bedroom is illuminated by a skylight and contains a split-system air conditioner. Below the main floor is a finished basement with windows in the front, a separate entrance under the stoop, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, two built-in storage rooms and a laundry room. This extra space would function well as a guest suite, media room or whatever addition you have in mind. The effortless flexibility of this warm, inviting home offers many possibilities. Whether you work exclusively from home, long for more bedrooms, desire rental income, or just want a welcoming space for out of town visitors; it is all here. Located in an extremely convenient location to catch express trains or buses and a short distance from Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Children's Zoo and the Brooklyn Museum. Come and experience the strong sense of community that PLG has to offer.
