This stunning 2-family townhouse checks all the boxes fully updated throughout with new kitchens, baths, and mechanicals throughout that co-exist perfectly with original restored historic details & new details with a nod to the old. Sitting pretty on a tree-lined block in prime Lefferts Gardens, just outside of the Landmarked District, this home enjoys the convenience of Prospect Park and the 2/5 subway lines at your doorstep, in addition to cafes, shops and amenities in every direction. This is not a generic developer special, but rather a generous three-story home that has been lovingly updated for today with 21st-century amenities but retains all the warmth and charm of a turn-of-the-century barrel front brick townhome.
 
Built 19.5' wide and 50' deep, the owner's upper duplex is flooded with light and offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a parlor guest bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with a walkout to the backyard. Uniquely renovated with a center kitchen on the main floor, living room in front, and dining in the back, plus an additional bedroom that makes a great home office and doesn't require you to go upstairs. The kitchen is a work of art with full-height custom sage green lacquer cabinetry on two sides that affords you space for literally every kitchen gadget you could ever desire, plus generous pantry space as well. Not one, but TWO islands await, so family and guests can hang out in either the dining or living side and enjoy easy access to the kitchen. Gorgeous, honed Carrara marble countertops throughout offers great prep space & a place to hang out or serve from. The Chef's grade Bertazzoni stainless steel appliances complement the custom cabinetry beautifully and include a 5-burner gas range that vents out, a 36" fridge with double freezer drawers, and stunning aged brass handles and faucet. Designer raw brass pendants over both islands illuminates your entertaining space and is the perfect framework for an elegant dining room overlooking the garden and a generous living room in front with an original fireplace mantle. New white oak hardwood floors throughout were laid in a traditional bordered designed to pay homage to the extraordinary workmanship of the early 1900's.  A convenient powder room is discreetly tucked into the hallway and handsomely appointed with Kohler Fixtures, brass lighting & aged brass fixtures.
 
The top floor is flooded in light and offers four bedrooms, two full baths, and a spacious skylit laundry room with full-sized vented machines for your convenience. The primary suite is a vision of style and space with a large walk-in closet, garden-facing views that promise peace and quiet, and enough room for a king-sized bed and extra furniture. The sunny and windowed primary bathroom stays true to its historic roots with a rich combination of timeless Carrara marble in oversized penny tile floors & large wall tile, and a glass-enclosed double-wide shower complete with a marble bench, and a 63" marble-topped walnut double vanity, all with aged brass fixtures. The secondary bath and the main floor bath have been beautifully appointed with cream mosaic tiles on the walls, sea green hex tiled floors, and antique brass fixtures throughout that lend a timeless warmth to every space. Three additional bedrooms include skylights, great closets, and overhead lighting. Authentic touches throughout this entire floor also include bordered hardwood floors and the original staircase.
 
A lower level with a separate entrance offers a loft-like studio apartment that promises great rent to help pay the mortgage OR open the interior door and incorporate it back into the upper duplex for a third floor of living space that makes a great guest suite, home office, playroom, or second living room.
