Built in 1898 by developer William Seal, Jr. and architect Albert E. White, 52 Rutland Road is a beautiful Romanesque Revival townhouse on one of the quietest landmarked blocks in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. This breathtaking 4-story barrel-fronted limestone townhouse has been meticulously restored and reimagined, blending soaring grand-scale proportions with a high-end renovation that honors its history.

This gorgeous single-family home features five bedrooms, five full baths, two half baths, and expansive light-filled living spaces on every floor. The electrical, plumbing, and other mechanical systems are all completely new and state of the art, including central heating and cooling with four separate zones, one for each floor. Throughout the house you'll find all new Pella Reserve windows, wide white oak engineered flooring, and a fully integrated Sonos three-zone audio system, which allows each room to operate as its own dedicated soundscape. Carefully and meticulously restored, this home is a testament to preserved craftsmanship. Original details abound, featuring an impressive array of intricate woodwork: perfectly functioning window shutters, original pocket doors that slide with ease, and stunning built-in cabinetry. The restoration is anchored by a brand-new, custom-fabricated mahogany front door and complemented by magnificent fireplace mantels, vibrant stained glass, and elegant crown moldings throughout.
