BROOKLYN TOWNHOUSE ROUNDUP

'Spectacular' Prospect Lefferts Gardens Townhouse Asks $2.1M

Sunday, January 17, 2016, by Evan Bindelglass
Welcome to the Brooklyn Townhouse Roundup, where we—you guessed it—take a look at the most notable Brooklyn townhouses on the market. Got tips? Send 'em here.
↑ Lately, a great many of our townhouse listings have been configured as multiple units. This week, we have some wonderful single-unit homes. Our first is in Prospect Lefferts Gardens and has four bedrooms (though you could turn one room into a fifth) and two bathrooms (one with a steam). The pre-war structure boasts wedding cake moldings, "ornate" banisters, "fantastic" woodwork, four decorative mantles, five sets of pocket doors, pier mirrors, and "beautiful" original hardwood floors made up of Tiger Oak, Maple, and Mahogany inlay. The master bedroom closets come with sinks. The kitchen has floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the backyard. It's only about two blocks from Prospect Park. It asks $2.1 million.
↑ Up next is a townhouse in Park Slope with six bedrooms (or five bedrooms and an office) and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The kitchen, with its Sub-Zero refrigerator and dual Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwashers, is spacious and you can get the wine for dinner from the basement wine cellar. You'll also find a wood-burning fireplace, pocket doors, a landscaped garden, and a deck. How much? $5.5 million.
↑ Moving on, we have a four-bedroom home in Cobble Hill with two full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms. It's pre-war, but not pre-World War II. It's pre-Civil War. The kitchen, with its working fireplace, is great, but it can also be fully open to the spacious garden, perfect for hosting parties. This 3,500-square-foot home around the corner from a movie theater and near the F/G can be yours for $4.75 million.
↑ Moving to Bedford-Stuyvesant, we have a two-family home configured as an owner's three-bedroom triplex over a two-bedroom apartment. The triplex has two-and-a-half bathrooms while the apartment is listed as having one-and-a-half (though we can't find the full one on the floorplan). Located the A/C at Nostrand Av, the asking price is $2.79 million.
↑ Finally, up the road in Stuyvesant Heights is a brand-new corner townhouse set up as two duplexes. The lower has two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms while the upper has three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. "The apartments are well proportioned with 9' ceiling heights and North and South exposures flooding the apartments with natural light," the listings says. Supposedly, you'll have fantastic views of Brooklyn and Manhattan from the roof, though the one photo doesn't show much. It's roughly a two-block walk to the J train and about eight blocks to the C. It can all be yours for $1.595 million.

@Views4Days: Yes, but I can't help feeling like I've stepped into a wild west saloon. Pour me a whiskey, Miss Kitty!

@Views4Days: Note the replacement fretwork at the bottom left of the circle in the first photo. (Not so much 1905 as 1975!)

Prospect-Lefferts @$2.1 ???great article photos, visited the place but finishing is rough, not for that price point. There's a bath downstairs w/shower and the Msbath on top floor has no shower upstairs, clawfoot bath needs refinishing inside. Old pro stove & vent with 20 yrs grease baked on.Garden is a complete neglect. Wine cooler broken (its electric in disarray). Few electric outlets. Brownstone facade needs work. Parquet flooring (each piece has 9 visible nails). Woodwork refinishing is rough, all needs another fine sanding and final coat of SATIN clear coat, too much glossy finishing. Don't take the #2 train from Manhattan thats an hour trip, use the Q which is much faster.
