About This Home

As of November 2024

Welcome to 195 Lefferts Ave! This legal two family on a leafy block in storied Prospect Lefferts Gardens combines glorious original details -- intricate woodwork, floral filigree and medallions on the ceiling, original hardwood flooring -- with modern upgrades, including updated electrical and modern baths.

Currently configured as a two family with an owner's duplex and a top floor rental, it could easily be used as a single family: opening up a myriad of choices for room usage.

Imagine a formal dining room in the large parlor level room at the back of the house-its French Doors leading to the massive eat-in-Kitchen, leading out to the Private Backyard Oasis.

On the top floor create an extra-large primary with en suite bath and an entire room for a closet - the plumbing is there! Don't feel like carting your laundry down to the basement? No need, there is a washer/dryer on this level. A wonderful feature in a rental and a great convenience in a single family. This floor also features a full bath, galley kitchen, and small ancillary room which can serve as a small bedroom or study.

On the lowest level you will find a half bath and a mostly blank space. Currently divided into three rooms, the area can be opened up to create a den, home office, media room, or game room-see our virtual rendering included with the photos. There is a utility sink and washing machine down here as well.

Finally, there is the backyard. Your own personal sanctuary! Enjoy a quiet moment with your morning coffee. Invite your friends and neighbors for a BBQ. Play fetch with FIDO.

Prospect Lefferts Gardens is known for amazing neighborhood charm set amongst leafy streets lined with low-rise, historically significant homes. You will love being in close proximity to open air Brooklyn gems like Prospect Park, featuring LeFrack Center at Lakeside, Prospect Zoo, Park Carousel, the Boathouse; Brooklyn Botanic Garden; and cultural institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and the Kings Theater. The restaurant scene is vibrant and plentiful-from Jerked Chicken to fine Italian dining and craft cocktails, PLG has a diverse and acclaimed abundance of offerings. Plus, you will have easy access to the 2/5/B/Q and S trains.
