As of September 2014Here's your opportunity to own a historic townhouse in the single family covenant of Prospect Lefferts Gardens.

The first floor has a lovely entry with foyer, front and rear bay windows, double parlors and a large dining room with built in china cabinets and window seat overlooking the garden. The middle parlor has a decorative fireplace and built in bookshelves. Also on this floor is a large renovated cook's kitchen with granite counter tops, subway tile backsplash, 6 burner stove, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, double sink and cherry cabinetry. Off the kitchen is a covered porch, perfect for dining out on a summer evening. Take the grand staircase upstairs to the rear facing master bedroom with walk in closet, renovated marble bath with soaking tub and walk in shower and pedestal sink. There is a home office with skylight and two additional bedrooms that face the front of the house. You will be amazed at the amount of closet space too.

The back garden is stunning and has two seating patios with pond, waterfall, automatic irrigation system with a magnolia tree and flowers everywhere.
