664 Rugby Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11230

This enchanting, single family, 3-story home is situated on a beautiful tree-lined block in Ditmas Park--just 2 blocks from the B/Q trains and shops at Newkirk Plaza and just 30 minutes to Manhattan. It is also just minutes to the shopping and restaurants on Cortelyou Road. Built circa 1910 and gut-renovated in 2009 with all new electric and plumbing, this spacious and thoughtfully-designed home offers 4 full bedrooms (including a huge master suite with customized walk-in closet and private bath with double-sinks, soaking tub and separate rain shower); a versatile media room/den; and an open, yet separate office area (with custom built-ins) adjacent to the living room, which features a decorative fireplace. This custom-designed house also offers a huge dining room which is open to a spacious, windowed kitchen with all stainless steel appliances, radiant-floor heating, and customized pantry closets. The attic floor is fully renovated, insulated, heated and air-conditioned----currently set up as a children's play area in one room, and as an extra guest sleeping area in the other room. A remarkable, mature flowering Magnolia tree (popular with Brooklyn Tree enthusiasts) adorns the private backyard, providing welcome shade in the summer months. If that's not enough, there is also a laundry-kitchenette equipped with a stackable washer and vented dryer, a sink, a microwave, and a mini-refrigerator, as well as a full basement for additional storage. This unique home was designed by the famous Brooklyn architects Slee & Bryson--the firm that also designed the Georgian Revival-style landmarked Albemarle Terrace in Flatbush and the nearby Clark Lane Apartments. They were particularly known for their residences in such neighborhoods as Prospect Park South, Fiske Terrace, Crown Heights and Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. First showings and Open House will be on Sunday, 10/1.
