Grand, Grander, Grandest - with room to grow into your dreams. Welcome to one of Prospect Park South's rare gems: a stately 1905 corner residence on a 125' x 100' double lot that feels more like a private park than a backyard. Designed by noted architect John Petit, this home was built with elegance, light, and gracious living in mind - and it still delivers today. From the first approach, the home makes an impression. A sweeping 688 sq ft, deep, covered porch stretches across the facade, the perfect spot for morning coffee or catching up with neighbors. The home's enormous property is filled with mature trees and lush plantings, a unique setting of privacy and tranquility in the heart of one of Brooklyn's most celebrated historic districts, just one block from the vibrant restaurants and shops of Cortelyou Road. Rarely found: two driveways - one with an attached garage - provide multiple parking options, a true luxury in the city. Inside, the impressive front door with its glass and original brass hardware opens to a gracious foyer where high ceilings, original wood wainscoting, and abundant natural light set the tone. To the right, the enormous living room with its ten-foot beamed coffered ceiling and wood-burning fireplace invites both large gatherings and quiet evenings, while south-facing bay windows create a cozy sunlit nook. To the left, a flexible room with two exposures makes an ideal home office, library, or music room. Straight ahead, the unusual oval formal dining room, complete with its own fireplace, conjures images of milestone dinners and holiday celebrations, while a sunny, basketweave tiled sunroom beyond is equally suited to plants or creative pursuits. The butler's pantry, with original cabinetry, abuts the windowed kitchen, overlooking the deck and garden. A powder room and mudroom complete this level. Upstairs, the second floor offers four spacious, corner bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with its own fireplace, ensuite bath, and two closets including a walk-in. One of the bedrooms has an adjoining office area and private garden access via the back staircase, creating the perfect guest suite, au pair quarters, or private work-from-home retreat. The third floor expands the possibilities even further with its peaked ceilings and generous proportions, offering two more sunny bedrooms, and another flex-room (think media room, yoga studio, playroom, or spa-like retreat!). Historic architectural details throughout remain intact: hardwood parquet floors with mahogany inlay, stained and leaded glass windows, deep baseboard moldings, and finely crafted built-ins provide warmth, character, and timeless appeal. Prospect Park South was envisioned as a suburb within the city, and today it still fulfills that promise. Wide tree-lined streets, oversized lots, private driveways, garages and gracious porches create a unique neighborhood character. Just blocks from Prospect Park itself, the Q train, and the many cafes, restaurants, after-school activities, and shops of Cortelyou Road and Church Avenue, the location offers both city convenience and small-town community. Annual neighborhood traditions such as Operation Gig porch concerts, Halloween Parade on Albemarle, Artmageddon, and the Flatbush Artist Studio Tour ensure that life here is as vibrant as it is beautiful.
