This 1901 John J. Petit-designed Victorian in the Prospect Park South Historic District  is an over 3600 square foot gem nestled in one of the first planned neighborhoods, designed to be a "garden in the city."

On an oversized and beautifully landscaped lot with mature hedges and plantings, this 12-room home has an abundance of period details throughout, including stained glass windows, original mantle, herringbone and parquet floors and pocket doors.

From the wide front porch, one enters the foyer through a double-doored vestibule before entering the main reception room with wood burning fireplace. The large dining room with swinging door leads to the retro-60's kitchen with vintage Chambers range and breakfast nook. An enclosed sun porch faces the patio and large, landscaped backyard.  There is also a half bath and mudroom on the first floor.

A handsome staircase with stained glass window and original balustrade leads to the two upper floors. On the second floor there is a master bedroom with en suite bath and lovely terrace; three additional bedrooms and another full bath. On the top floor, a sunny one-bedroom guest quarters include a living room and updated kitchen and full bath, cooled by a separate ductless AC system.

The finished lower level has a rec-room with recessed lighting and built-in storage, laundry room with Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer, and original ceramic double sinks. Mechanicals have been recently updated.

There is a free-standing two car-garage.  This beautiful home is steps to the Q train at Beverly Road, and convenient to Prospect Park, the Parade Grounds, and shops on Cortelyou Road and Church Avenue.
