71 Midwood is a regal single family Brownstone in the heart of Lefferts Manor Historic District in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Located on one of the neighborhood's most picturesque landmarked blocks, this 4 story home is 2 blocks to Prospect Park and 2 blocks to local favorites like Hamlet Coffee and Mockingbird Tacos. A masterpiece inside and out with money saving SOLAR PANELS on the roof, WOOD BURNING FIREPLACES throughout the home, and incredible well-kept original details on every floor. This grand home spans 4 floors and approx. 4,400 sq ft, featuring 4 bedrooms plus a home office, three and two half bathrooms, a kids climbing wall in the full height cellar, and a charming garden out back. Annual taxes are $11,514.68
The garden level has an entry foyer offering space for coats and shoes behind closed doors. Step into the living space that gives way to the dining area that can hold a table for at least 8. The chef's kitchen on the garden level is placed at the back of the home with direct access to the garden. With a state-of-the-art Wolf gas range and double wall oven, paneled French-door Sub-Zero refrigeration and a Bosch dishwasher, the kitchen is outfitted for the entertainer and home cook! A large breakfast bar offers storage underneath and extensive counter space, and pantries and cabinets line both sides of the large fridge all with the same paneling. An extension on this floor has a windowed powder room, a door to the backyard that has a raised deck, grassy area, and a BBQ connected to the main gas line.
As you float up to the parlor level, you are greeted by approximately 10ft ceilings, a grand double living area for entertaining and lounging, with a charming window seat overlooking the garden below. The original details on this level include stained glass windows, shutters, pocket doors, crown moldings, and built in library shelves. Through a mahogany door ordained with stained glass, a home office has double exposures offering a bright yet quiet and serene space to work.
The stairs to the 3rd story have unique original wood carvings and brings you to two large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and tons of closets in the hallway and in the bedrooms. The 20ft wide grand master suite has a wood burning fireplace with space to create a lounge area around it, two closets, and a wall of windows with gorgeous wood framing. This spacious room can easily fit a King sized bed plus lots of extra furniture. The en-suite bathroom has a deep soaking tub plus a tiled walk in shower with a stained glass window, clever built ins for storage, and a pocket door that leads to the 2nd bedroom on the rear of the home. Another full bathroom is located on this level as well, with a claw foot tub, pedestal sink, built ins and a large window.
Perched on the 4th floor, you'll find two more bedrooms and a full bathroom that has a tiled walk-in shower and a window. The front bedroom has an original dressing room with functional built ins for storage, and an original and perfectly preserved wash basin that has been delicately hand painted. In the hallway you'll find a laundry room, large storage closet, and a huge stained glass skylight that floods the stairwell with colorful light. The back bedroom is spacious and quiet with access to the front bedroom through the dressing room.
In the cellar (which is dry as a bone), 7'6" ceilings allow for multiple uses besides storage. A kids climbing wall and chalkboard wall offer the perfect play space! Natural light comes in through a glass paneled wall under the hatch. Perfect for a home gym, art studio, or movie theater with extra rooms for tools.

Edie Joe's, Hamlet Coffee, Glou, & Sons Ham Bar, VyneYard Wines and PLG Coffee House and Tavern are just a few of the neighborhood hotspots nearby.
