Located on one of the prettiest tree-lined blocks in the Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park historic district of Ditmas Park, this c.1908 Colonial Revival style house with elegant projecting bay windows and a gabled roof, was built by renowned architect and builder John Corbin. Set back from the street by a picture perfect lawn, this colonial revival home has a private driveway to the side, a two car garage accessible from the deck off the kitchen, and a lovely mature garden.

Designed with a gracious layout this five bedroom home is spacious and flooded with light. The vestibule provides abundant space to leave your shoes, hats, coats and umbrellas, opening into a stunning foyer. Handsome wooden wainscoting frames the foyer and the entire staircase which is bathed in light by a stained glass window. This desirable home has many original details and perhaps the most significant is the addition of solid wood doors with elaborate Beaux Arts brass hardware which were reclaimed from the old Knickerbocker Hotel before it was refurbished in 1921. The beautiful glass doors in the vestibule were from the ballroom and the long mirrors in two of the bedroom closets are thought to have come from the hotel’s bathrooms.

The incredible first floor has a meticulously renovated kitchen with plenty of room for two cooks. Classic solid quartz counters paired with pale blue green porcelain backsplash and white wooden cabinets showcase a 5 burner gas stove and high end stainless appliances. An adjacent walk-in pantry with a window guarantees that you will have all the storage you need. There is also a lovely, discreet powder room off the kitchen with Flavor Paper’s Brooklyn Toile wallpaper and tile floor.

Parquet floors with inlaid borders grace the first floor, flowing from the large sunlit dining room through the foyer into the double parlor in the front of the house. The proportions of the rooms are generous with high beamed and coffered ceilings. Light floods into the front parlor through seven elegant arched windows: this room offers a formal sitting area, a separate space for an informal table for jigsaw puzzles, card games or an ideal spot for casual dining. On the opposite side there is lots of room for a child's play area, large piano or a simple bookcase.

In the back of the house, connected to the foyer and kitchen, is the formal dining room. With original beams on the ceiling, exquisite parquet floors and three windows, it is the perfect setting for large and small gatherings..

The second floor landing has a built-in linen closet and is the hub from which all the rooms radiate. The primary bedroom is extravagant in size with two double closets lining one wall and two additional deep closets just before the en-suite bathroom. Four windows fill the bedroom with natural light. Two bedrooms and another full bathroom complete this floor. One bedroom is set up as an inviting home office with double exposures and the other a generous sized media room with space for everyone.

The top floor offers two charming bedrooms, an interior den and a full bath with a claw tub. There are numerous closets including a small walk-in. Set up your children or guests in style or create the perfect quiet office space to let your creativity run free.

The basement is dry and has seemingly endless storage. A side by side washer dryer occupies one corner. Many upgrades have been made to the house: a new roof in 2021, new in-wall air conditioners in the primary bedroom and media room. Upgraded electricity and an in-ground sprinkler system. This lovely home embraces you the minute you step inside: the love and care of its owners is evident everywhere you look.

Just a 4 minute walk to Newkirk Plaza and the local and express B and Q trains which take you to Manhattan in just 35 minutes. Many local spots like Appletree Gourmet, Westwood Bar and restaurant and the Rusty Nail as well as grocery stores are all within 5 minutes walk with a great selection of other stores
