Beautiful Single-Family Townhome in Coveted Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn

Nestled on picturesque  Midwood Street, this  18-foot-wide brick townhome offers classic Brooklyn charm and exceptional potential. Featuring  5 bedrooms,  2 full baths, and  original architectural details, this home combines timeless character with modern convenience.

 Main Level
A welcoming  foyer-style entrance leads into a spacious  living room highlighted by a  gas-burning fireplace (currently decorative, with plumbing in place for restoration). Overhead, an  original chandelier with an ornate  ceiling medallion adds vintage elegance. The open layout flows seamlessly into the  formal dining room, featuring  large bay windows and a  beamed ceiling, creating a perfect space for entertaining.

The  kitchen offers abundant  floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a  Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a  Wolf range – both fully functional though older models. A large window floods the space with natural light.

 Below, an  English basement provides access from both the front and back of the home. Currently used for storage and laundry (washer/dryer included), this level offers plenty of potential as an  entertainment area or  guest suite.

Outdoor Space :
The  garden is a tranquil retreat, featuring a variety of plantings and a  beautiful cherry blossom tree that transforms the yard each spring.

Upper Levels:
The  second floor hosts  two generously sized bedrooms and a  full bath ready for updating. A bonus  sunroom, perched above the extension, boasts  seven windows, bathing the space in natural light – an ideal setting for a reading nook, art studio, or home office.

The  third floor includes  three bedrooms and another  full bath. Two of the rooms are comfortably sized, while the third is perfect for an office or nursery.

A  new roof (installed just one year ago) is equipped with  solar panels to help offset electricity costs.
