About This Home
Welcome to 231 Argyle Road: a charming Victorian single-family that blends the old and new with an exceptional layout and location. Abundant front gardens surround the wrap-around porch that leads to the driveway and gated backyard. The first floor offers a fantastic configuration with a private and cozy screening/reading room lined with custom-made book shelves. The modern farmhouse kitchen boasts six oversized windows, exposed beams, quartz countertops, radiant floors and a four-burner Wolf stove. A striking custom wood-burning fireplace draws together living and dining areas. The ipe deck offers a private oasis to lounge or dine under the old-growth fig tree. The gardens are lovingly cared for and include established forsythia, peony, honeysuckle, echinacea, Bronx seedless grape, hydrangea, climbing white rose, and more. The garage is perfect for bikes and extra storage, and the yard happens to be the correct dimensions for a grass pickle ball court. The second floor has four sizable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with seven closets. The top floor serves as a whole-floor suite with two impressively large bedrooms, two walk-in closets, a home office or nursery, and a fully renovated bathroom with vaulted ceilings and radiant floors. A large, decorative window spans two floors letting light down the open staircase.
Ditmas Park is one of the rare neighborhoods in New York City that offers a suburban lifestyle while still being close to Manhattan along the Q/line and the Prospect Expressway and Battery Tunnel. Lined with soaring old trees, this block on Argyle Road is one of the longest in Brooklyn. The proximity to Prospect Park and the Parade Grounds is perfect for nature and activity seekers. Several award-winning restaurants are found nearby on Cortelyou Road, along with a public library, organic food markets, wine stores, book and gift stores and the Sunday Farmers Market.
