This extraordinary residence is the crown jewel of the Albemarle–Kenmore Terraces Historic District—one of New York City’s most picturesque enclaves, defined by just 32 homes and a canopy of mature pin oak trees. The district is celebrated for its early 20th-century Colonial Revival architecture. This is the largest home in the district and one of the rare residences offering private parking, including a garage and driveway. A true Colonial Revival gem, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined to honor its heritage while introducing a refined, modern sensibility. Original millwork, moldings, and wood casement windows have been meticulously restored, while herringbone floors grace the parlor level and original hardwoods run throughout. The layout features a classic center hall plan. A gracious foyer leads to a formal living room with original built-ins and fireplace, and a formal dining room that flows into a renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances. This level also includes a powder room and access to a deep backyard ideal for entertaining. The second floor offers two nearly 20-foot-wide bedrooms, a renovated full bath, and a flexible third room opening to a charming “sleeping porch,” ideal for an office or playroom. The top floor is a private primary suite with a large bedroom, oversized bath, dressing room, and additional bedroom for a nursery or office, plus washer and dryer. The finished basement includes a second laundry area, half bath, storage, bonus room, and wet bar. In total, the home offers 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, with all major systems updated including electrical, plumbing, and roofing. Ideally located moments from Prospect Park and minutes away from the Church Avenue Q/B subway, it offers seamless access to Manhattan and Brooklyn. A rare opportunity to own a landmark residence of scale, character, and modern comfort in one of Brooklyn’s most architecturally significant enclaves, complete with private parking.
