193 Lefferts Avenue   Unit HOUSE

Historically Designated, Significant Two Family situated in Prospect Lefferts Gardens available for the first time in nearly two generations. The Neighborhood, aptly named for its proximity to Prospect Park, Lefferts Manor and The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is unarguably one of Brooklyn's most beautiful, a repeat Winner of The Greenest Block in Brooklyn Distinction. Designed by famed Architect Frank S. Lowe, inspired by French Renaissance Style, a 20 foot wide Rowhouse of White Brick and Ornamental Unglazed Terracotta. The extra wide Rounded Bay hints at the spaciousness of the rooms within. A quiet interior, the home is set back from the street boasting a front Garden. Parlor Floor windows topped with Leaded-Glass transom lend to the dreamy quality of sunlight entering from the Southern facing exposure. Front facing views of the Red Brick and Terracotta facades across the Avenue, also designed by Lowe, and a parklike setting in the rear. Enter the Parlor Floor through wide double doors to access the high-ceilinged Owner Duplex. A Garden level rental feels private as well as spacious, and can be used instead for added owner square footage. Some original detail remains intact, this property would benefit from your architect's reimagining as a Grand Historic Home.
