A VERY special home - Spacious, majestic and move-in ready. Now priced to move under ~$730/sq ft— with over 5,000 sq ft of sun-filled living, beautifully preserved details, and private outdoor space—just moments from Prospect Park and a short easy commute to Manhattan. A rare chance to own something truly magnificent.
This meticulously maintained historic home, built in 1914, has been cherished by just three families since its construction. Offering 5,400 square feet of beautifully finished details, it features five generously sized bedrooms, plus additional flexible space, 3.5 bathrooms, two magnificent sunrooms, a formal dining room, a modern kitchen, and a lush, garden-like backyard perfect for entertaining. A five-car driveway leads to a private two-car garage, and the home is equipped with central AC, two fireplaces, a full laundry room, and abundant storage throughout-all of this for less than $800 per square foot.
Nestled in one of Brooklyn's most special neighborhoods-Prospect Park South-this hidden gem is impossible to forget. Just two blocks from Prospect Park and the subway, this serene enclave is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its beautifully preserved architecture. Spanning six blocks by two, the neighborhood showcases an eclectic mix of Queen Anne, Victorian, and Colonial Revival homes. Along Buckingham Road, beautiful green park-like malls are cut into the streets, creating a tranquil oasis filled with flowers, trees, and lush greenery.
Historical, yet modern. Spacious, yet intimate. A one-of-a-kind home in a one-of-a-kind neighborhood, awaiting its next steward.
