About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome to this magnificent, two-family Victorian home, perfectly situated on an ultra-prime, tree-lined block in the heart of the highly sought-after neighborhood of Ditmas Park! This stately 7-bedroom, 3 full bathroom at over 3,100 SF residence effortlessly combines historic charm with thoughtful modern updates.
Step into the beautifully appointed first-floor unit, the expansive living room has large bay windows that create a bright and airy atmosphere that lets in an abundant amount of natural sunlight. Just off the living room, you'll find a separate large formal dining room, ideal for entertaining. Enjoy beautiful hardwood floors throughout the entire unit; the windowed kitchen is a cook's delight, featuring stainless steel appliances that include a dishwasher, custom wood cabinetry, and a functional island with drop leaf edges to fully maximize counter space. The large windowed bathroom offers decorative floor tiles and a rainforest-style showerhead. Both bedrooms are gracious in size, comfortably accommodating king-sized beds with additional space for furniture, and there is an in-unit stackable washer and dryer.
Upstairs, the owner's duplex offers an expansive and elegant retreat. You're welcomed by a grand living room featuring high ceilings, a striking decorative fireplace with a beautifully crafted mantle, and a ton of natural sunlight. From here, you can step out onto your large private deck. The spacious formal dining room boasts two large windows and gorgeous hardwood floors, the perfect space for hosting family dinners or special occasions. The open kitchen is equipped with rich wood cabinetry, a stylish decorative backsplash, and updated stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave. This level includes two king-sized bedrooms and a spa-like bathroom, complete with elegant floor tile, dual mirrored cabinets, and a classic claw-foot soaking tub.
Upstairs on the top floor, you'll find three additional large bedrooms with charming vaulted ceilings, a third full bathroom, and a bright, updated laundry room with its own window, washer, and dryer-merging convenience and function.

The Cortelyou Road Farmers Market is also popular for fresh produce and local goods all year round.
