About This Home

As of February 2026

Nestled on a picturesque tree-lined block in Prospect Lefferts Garden, 259 Winthrop Street is a masterfully renovated 2,880-square-foot single-family townhouse that offers four stories of exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary luxury. Sunlight floods through south-facing bay windows, highlighting refined finishes while creating an inviting and elegant ambiance throughout. With 4 spacious bedrooms and 4.5 spa-caliber bathrooms, including a beautifully designed powder room, the home delivers both scale and sophistication. Elevated details-include 6-inch-wide white oak floors, central heat and A/C, and built-in Bluetooth surround sound-ensuring a lifestyle defined by comfort and ease.

A custom chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a dramatic 6-foot marble island and equipped with a premium Bosch appliance package featuring a cooktop, dishwasher, and wine fridge. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows invite natural light and open seamlessly to the expansive private backyard. Set on a 106-foot-deep lot, the outdoor space offers a rare opportunity for large-scale entertaining, recreation, or tranquil enjoyment.

The primary suite spans half of the second floor and is a true sanctuary with a generous walk-in closet and a serene atmosphere. Its lavish en-suite bathroom is clad in travertine and finished with a sculptural double vanity, evoking a boutique spa experience. A secondary bedroom completes the level, featuring its own en-suite bath and an enchanting bay-window sitting nook ideal for reading or quiet moments.

The top floor hosts two additional bedrooms connected by a bright skylit Jack-and-Jill bathroom, along with a peaceful rear terrace that offers a charming private escape above the treetops.

A spacious open basement expands the home's living possibilities with a gorgeous full bathroom and a well-appointed laundry area. Perfectly situated just steps from the natural beauty of Prospect Park and a breezy 2-minute stroll to the 2 and express 5 trains, this exceptional residence blends neighborhood charm with unparalleled convenience.
