We are pleased to offer this historic house, located in a very special neighborhood. Prospect Lefferts Gardens has been described by the Landmarks Preservation Commission as ''one of the finest enclaves of 19th and early 20th century housing in New York City". On Winthrop Street, one century ago, a noted sea captain had a row of houses constructed for his officers. This two and half story brick townhouse is one of these homes. You enter into a wonderful parlor, a center music room, an ample formal dining room with the original beamed ceiling and finely crafted cabinetry. The kitchen opens to the back deck overlooking an exceptionally deep garden. An inviting porch at the front of house lends itself to early evening chats with the neighbors. In the English basement you'll find the original first mates bedroom, adjoining living area and full bath. Uniting the parlor floor is a handsome center staircase up to three large bedrooms with original pass-through, a shaving sink and a built-in wardrobe. This charming 1905 townhouse is ideally located just steps from trains, shopping, Prospect Park, Botanic Gardens, the Zoo and the Maple Street School.
