A classic Queen Anne: clapboard first floor, cedar shake second and third floor. Yellow, with white trim and a red shingle roof--the home sparkles. A wonderful home to raise children in and live in when the children leave the house: an abundance of space and light, where a family can live together while also having their own private space. It has a large kitchen with a dining area, and a dining room for more formal events--for Thanksgiving dinner; for Chanukah and Passover and Christmas meals; for entertaining friends and colleagues. There is a full bathroom off the master bedroom, and another absurdly large bathroom that's as big as some studio apartments in Manhattan. The home has a lovely front porch, with trellisses on either end, one interwoven with roses. A garden sprawls along one side of the house and expands into the backyard. It's graced by a cherry tree that leaves a thick carpet of blossoms on the patio in April. It's a quiet oasis in the midst of an urban neighborhood. It is a graceful space. Neighborhood Description A long swath of single family frame homes--Queen Annes and Victorians--unfolding from the southern end of Prospect Park deep into the heart of Brooklyn. Lined by large 100 year old trees--sycamores, oaks and others--it is a cool, urban oasis. By subway, it's a half hour to lower Manhattan, 45 minutes to Grand Central, but close to all of the Borough's amenities--Park Slope's shops; the restaurants of 5th Avenue and Smith Street; the Brooklyn Academy of Music and its gem of a movie theater and its Next Wave festival, among other things.
