We're talking PRIME Prospect Heights! At a full 20-foot width, this charming four-story, two-family townhouse is one for keeps. Occupied as an owners' upper triplex and garden rental, it brings income while still providing its homeowners 2,500 sf of living space. The parlor floor has a good-sized living room separated from the kitchen by original pocket doors. The large eat-in kitchen has cherry cabinets, stainless-steel appliances and a terra cotta floor. The dining room, gloriously sunny and surrounded by a bay of oversized windows, opens out to the deck. A half bath/laundry room are a welcome addition to this floor. The next two levels are almost identical footprints: each has two large bedrooms, a side study/nursery and a spacious windowed full bath. There's plenty of closet space for clothes, shoes and linens. The income-bearing lower-level rental is a lovely one bedroom with access to the yard, basement storage and laundry. A 50-ft.-deep garden is accessed from the rental and/or the deck and has lush plantings, including mountain laurel, rhododendron, forsythia and azalea. The stone patio is a delightful space to relax, grill and celebrate evenings and weekends. The basement offers additional laundry, lots of clean storage space and has a seven-foot-high ceiling. Four carved marble mantels, parquet floors, two skylights, and a welcoming front garden make this home captivating inside and out. As for its location, you can't beat its proximity to Vanderbilt between Park Place and Atlantic Avenue, which offers just about everything you need for every day and dining out. Who can resist Olmstead, R+D Foods, Dough, Faun, Amorina, White Tiger, Zaytoons, Milk Bar, Foodtown, Mermaid Garden, Honey Nail Salon, Fermented Grapes, Van Leeuwens Ice Cream...the list is dizzying! With Flatbush Avenue only blocks away, your world opens up still further with the B/Q trains and all of the exciting businesses this venerable boulevard has to offer.
