About this home
Opportunity awaits in this historic three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom residence featuring expansive interiors, full attic and basement spaces, a huge wraparound yard, curb-cut driveway, and two-car garage on a charming, tree-lined Prospect Lefferts Gardens block.
Built in 1901, this expansive 2,084-square-foot home welcomes you inside with a bright layout featuring some intact architectural details and large windows on all four exposures. A large sunroom entry opens to a gracious foyer with soaring ceilings and a dramatic staircase. Ahead, large living, dining and breakfast rooms provide a wonderful layout for relaxing and entertaining, while a powder room adds convenience. At the rear of the main level, the eat-in kitchen flows to a rear mudroom entry. On the upper level, three bedrooms share a windowed full bathroom. Outside, the huge, fenced lot, driveway, and garages provide plenty of space for al fresco enjoyment, parking and gardening under a grand, mature tree.
A full-height attic and basement, and the oversized 4,000-square-foot lot with 7,640-square-foot of buildable FAR, offer abundant room to grow in this rare Brooklyn property.
Despite the realities of racism and segregation in the 1950s, Isabel Steele purchased 250 Midwood St., becoming one of the first African-American homeowners on the block. She struggled to save the deposit and buy the property, but she persevered and provided a loving home for her family here for decades. Isabel is remembered as a cherished neighbor and an active force in the local community.
Located on a lovely block in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, this home is just three blocks from Prospect Park’s 526 acres of lush outdoor space, recreation, and access to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Library and Museum. Fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife venues line the nearby streets, and transportation options abound with 2, 5, B, Q, and S trains, excellent bus service, and CitiBikes all nearby.
