About This Property
This six bedroom two and a half story, two full bath & two
half-bath corner lot on Rugby and Dorchester has been lovingly
cared for by the same family for 52 years, and still retains many
of the original details and Victorian charm. Constructed and
designed in 1902 by prolific architect Arlington D Isham, this
grand Victorian home is impressive, and has been perfectly
preserved. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of historic
Brooklyn.
The turn of the century master builder details such as stained glass windows, moldings, pocket doors and original hardwood floors give this home an incredibly exclusive feel. Enter into this fabulous home at the large fully restored front porch then through the original oval beveled front door into the formal windowed foyer, you are immediately moved by the traditional beauty of the space and transported back into time. The expansive living room has a gas fireplace and ample seating with room to create both a formal seating area, and another more intimate space. There is a separate luxurious dining room with beautiful details such as a lead glass china cabinet and a glistening jewel-toned stained glass window. A pocket door separates the dining room from the kitchen that has space for a breakfast nook, and looks out onto the lush-garden and lawn that wraps around the entire house. There are two garden entrances off the kitchen, one next to the original domestic helpers back staircase, which leads you out to a gas grill and outdoor dining patio. There is also a half bath conveniently located by the kitchen and dining area.
The second floor has three bright, generously sized bedrooms and a large bath. The master bedroom has a luxurious sitting area as well as 4 sets of original French doors leading to a sun porch to relax and read. The third floor Attic is private a enclave and boasts three large bedrooms with sky views and sunlight all day, one with an en suite bath and cathedral ceilings.
Last but not least, the large semi-finished basement has laundry and a half bath, as well as a work-shop / tool-room and lots of storage space. This elegant house also comes with a detached two-car garage with extra driveway parking space for two additional cars. Only one block away is Cortelyou Road with wonderful shopping including an Organic Food Coop, quality restaurants, trendy bars and a Farmers Market every Sunday. Walking distance from this home is unsurpassed Landscape Architect, Fredrick Law Olmsted's Prospect Park which is next to the Parade Grounds with year round Tennis, Horseback Riding, Concerts and endless outdoor activities. As well as near by BAM, The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and the Barclays Center. Cortelyou Road & Newkirk Plaza subway stops have the Q and B trains which can take you into Manhattan in under 30 minutes. Plus driving via the Prospect expressway into the Hugh Carey Tunnel gets you into Manhattan's Financial District in 15 minutes.
This rare Victorian beauty won't last!
