Historic Turn-of-the-Century Elegance. Luxurious Ditmas Park Grandeur.
A charmed Ditmas Park lifestyle awaits in this palatial 6-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom whole-home rental with lush outdoor areas, a private garage, and sprawling interiors suffused with abundant storage and lovely period details.
Rising three stories and built at the turn of the 20th Century, this one-of-a-kind house offers a best-of-both-worlds experience - the space, privacy, and quietness of suburban life moments from exciting restaurants, cafes, and city amenities.
Bay windows, stained glass accents, hardwood floors with border inlays, beamed ceilings, and more.
On the first level are two oversized living rooms, a separate home office, and a countryside-style eat-in kitchen that is atypically large compared to other homes in the neighborhood. The living rooms are perfect for hosting guests and gatherings. The office has two distinct rooms and a convenient powder room, making it ideal as a cozy den or media room. The kitchen includes sleek countertops, a marble tile backsplash, abundant cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Additional features include decorative fireplaces, a gorgeous central staircase, mini-split AC systems, and a basement washer/dryer.
The second and third levels contain six sun-splashed bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a bonus space that can easily be used as a playroom, nursery, walk-in closet, library, art studio, and more. One of the bedrooms also has a covered balcony overlooking the backyard.
Dreamy outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy year-round.
A private curb-cut driveway leads to a single-car garage, while a deep front lawn with mature trees and lush plantings draws the eye to an inviting veranda. On the opposite side of the home, a rear porch off the kitchen flows down to a cute backyard with red brick and flagstone pavers and beautiful gardening plots.
