This extraordinary residence stands as the crown jewel of the Albemarle-Kenmore Terraces Historic District-one of the most unique and picturesque blocks in New York City, defined by a collection of just 32 residences and a canopy of majestic pin oak trees that gracefully shade the streetscape. This distinguished enclave is celebrated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation for its cohesive collection of early 20th-century Colonial Revival architecture, masterfully designed between 1916 and 1920 by the renowned architectural firm Slee & Bryson. Widely regarded as one of the most important architectural firms in early 20th-century Brooklyn, Slee & Bryson were known for creating some of the borough's most elegant and enduring residential enclaves, blending timeless Federal and Colonial Revival design with exceptional attention to proportion, symmetry, and craftsmanship. Their work at Albemarle-Kenmore Terraces is often praised as some of the finest Neo-Federal residential architecture in New York City.

Positioned prominently on the corner of East 21st Street and Albemarle Terrace, this is the largest home in the district-and one of the very few to offer the rare luxury of private parking, complete with both a garage and driveway.

A true Colonial Revival gem, the home has been meticulously reimagined to honor its architectural heritage while introducing a refined, whimsical sophistication. The restoration thoughtfully preserves original millwork, moldings, and beautifully maintained wood casement windows-each carefully restored, repaired, and weatherproofed-while layering in bold, contemporary finishes that create a vibrant yet timeless aesthetic. The parlor level is grounded by elegant herringbone flooring, while the remainder of the home features original hardwood floors throughout, further reinforcing its historic integrity.

The layout is exceptional, defined by a classic center hall plan and grand proportions throughout. Upon entry, a gracious foyer leads to a formal living room adorned with original built-ins, a fireplace, and exquisite detailing. Opposite, a formal dining room continues the theme of elegance with additional built-ins, seamlessly connecting to a fully renovated kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances and modern finishes. This level also offers a convenient powder room and direct access to an expansive backyard-perfect for entertaining or quiet retreat.

The second floor features two impressive almost 20-foot-wide bedrooms with generous closet space, along with a beautifully renovated full bath. A third bedroom opens to what Landmarks has referred to as a "sleeping porch"-a charming and flexible space ideal for a bedroom, home office, or playroom.

The top floor is a private sanctuary, dedicated entirely to the primary suite. This level offers a sprawling bedroom, a luxurious oversized bath, a dressing room, and an additional bedroom perfect for a nursery or home office, along with the convenience of a dedicated washer and dryer.

The finished basement adds even more versatility, complete with a second laundry area, a half bath, ample storage, and additional living space including a bonus room suited for a variety of uses and a wet bar area.

In total, the home offers five bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths. Every major system has been upgraded, including brand new electrical, plumbing, and roofing, ensuring modern reliability behind its historic facade.

Perfectly positioned, the home is just moments from Prospect Park and only a block from the Church Avenue station with access to the Q/B line, offering seamless connectivity throughout Brooklyn and into Manhattan.

This is a rare opportunity to own a home of true scale and character in one of Brooklyn's most architecturally significant and visually stunning enclaves-where historic charm, thoughtful design, and modern luxury converge, complete with the ultimate rarity: private parking.
