Welcome to this gorgeously detailed single family limestone on historic Fenimore Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens! Enter this Romanesque Revival house via a classic stoop, with original wrought iron doors and vestibule. There is a spacious entry foyer which has maintained its original details including a pier mirror, coffered ceiling and built-in-bench. Stunning inlaid floors are found throughout the house. To the right of the foyer are original pocket doors which open to the south facing, brilliantly sunny living room. Two additional pocket doors are located on either side of the richly detailed middle parlor, which has a decorative tiled fireplace, built in bookshelves, coffered ceiling and stunning staircase to upstairs. The spacious formal dining room has a tray ceiling, built-in china cabinets and bay window looking out to the serene garden. Next to the dining room is the kitchen with its stainless steel appliances, six burner cook's range, granite counters and dark wood cabinetry. There is a deck off the kitchen perfect for breakfast or coffee in the morning. Upstairs on the bedroom level, you will find three full bedrooms including a primary with a large walk in closet. Additionally there is a fourth room with a skylight that can function as a bedroom or office/exercise room. The tiled, renovated bathroom, which looks onto the garden, has a claw foot soaking tub and separate stall shower. A stained glass skylight fills the hallway with light all day. The ground floor level, with its full height ceilings and separate entrance under the stoop, is a self contained unit ideal for a guest suite or in-law apartment. Currently one room is being used as a music room, with a large living area open to the kitchenette. Modern, marble bathroom with a luxurious steam shower and full size, stackable washer dryer are located on this level. Please note this home is a legal one-family. The garden level leads to the delightful and restored 20'x50' garden with a decked area and mature perennials and trees, ready for the summer months. This three-story, 20'x48' home on a 100' lot has all the modern touches needed for today's lifestyle, yet is a remarkably well-preserved jewel of early 20th century Brooklyn. Central A/C, wired alarm system, smart home thermostat, new hot water heater and new roof are just some of the upgrades. Situated conveniently between the 2/5 train at Winthrop St & Nostrand Ave and the B/Q/S at Prospect Park - 30 minutes to midtown - this Prospect Lefferts Manor historic district home is a short walk to beloved Prospect Park where you will find the Brooklyn Smorgasburg every Sunday (April-Oct), Lakeside Rink for skating, the carousel and 500+ acres of parkland. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Brooklyn Museum are a short stroll away. Some neighborhood standouts include Camillo, Bonafini, Names Pizza, Midwood Flats and Cinnamon Girl Cafe. Prospect Lefferts Gardens is a historic and friendly community - come see for yourself!
