About this home
ALL OPEN HOUSES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
This three-story Colonial-style single-family home in Cypress Hills offers 1,942 square feet of interior living space plus an impressive 1,650 square feet of private outdoor space, and 814 square feet of unfinished basement space offering future possibilities. With two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a bonus full floor lounge on the third floor, this home is a rare blend of historic character and considered design.
The entryway sets a refined tone with handcrafted cement tile by Clè. Inside, brand new Kährs oak floors run across the first and second levels, complementing the warm, layered aesthetic found throughout. The kitchen is a showstopper featuring a Florida quartzite countertop, tile by Italian brand Ceramiche Refin designed by Kasia Zareba, and a salvaged industrial window that floods the space with natural light.
Two original fireplaces remain as beautiful architectural centerpieces—while not currently operational, they add an authentic historic charm to the living areas. The roof has also just been redone, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
Every fixture has been thoughtfully selected, including antique sinks and a clawfoot tub sourced from vintage stores across New York City. The original electric baseboards were replaced with salvaged cast iron radiators from Victorian and carriage homes, offering even, radiant heat and timeless detail.
The home also features a full-size washer and dryer just off the primary bedroom, generous storage throughout, and a charming covered front porch. Out back, the expansive paved outdoor space is perfect for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing in the open air. The house includes 814 square feet of unfinished basement space offering future possibilities.
Beyond the property, you’ll find some of the neighborhood’s best-kept secrets just moments away. The Ridgewood Reservoir offers excellent trails and sweeping views for nature lovers. Nearby Highland Park features great tennis courts designed and painted by Sen2 Figueroa, and featured in the NY Times. Forest Park invites you to explore even more wooded trails and picnic spots.
This is a rare opportunity to own a free-standing home that celebrates historic charm while embracing modern comfort, all within easy reach of everything Brooklyn has to offer....
