A home as incredible as this does not hit the market often! Situated on a prime manor block in desirable Prospect Lefferts Gardens, 212 Midwood Street presents the rare opportunity to live in an exquisitely gut-renovated townhouse in perfect move-in condition. Here, meticulous and refined attention to detail is evident in every room.

Expertly re-envisioned and renovated in 2016-2017 by renowned Brooklyn architect Brent Buck, this light-flooded turn-of-the-century 20' wide barrel front brownstone features a magazine-worthy parlor floor with living room, sitting room, and a custom show-stopping kitchen, a large primary bedroom with ensuite windowed bathroom and walk-in closet, two generously sized secondary bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a fully finished English basement at the garden level which is currently used as a family room, home office, and gym, but serves double-duty as a guest suite. The garden level also has a separate entrance, enclosed laundry room and copious storage.

Lovingly restored original details including decorative fireplace and mantel, original built-ins, moldings, wainscoting, coffered ceilings, refinished staircases and floors, and millwork that has been stripped and refinished in a light Scandinavian-inspired hue, are seamlessly integrated with every modern amenity and upgrade (including solar panels) to create a bespoke contemporary aesthetic.

In the parlor-level living room, bay windows fill the room with brilliant light. In keeping with the grand fashion of this historic home, there is a stunning additional sitting room with original fireplace and ornate built-ins that separates the living room from the swoon-worthy kitchen and dining room. The chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry with an oversized island, Pietra del Cardoso countertops and backsplash, premium Bertazzoni stove, Fisher & Paykel paneled refrigerator, and Miele paneled dishwasher. Enjoy calming views and seamless access from the kitchen to the adjoining custom steel framed patio fitted with Ipe wood decking, into the stunning garden with cedar fence and zero maintenance artificial grass by SynLawn. The parlor level also has a conveniently positioned powder room.

Head upstairs to the top floor for the primary bedroom suite, two additional bedrooms as well as another full bathroom. The generously sized primary bedroom features 3 large bay windows with a built-in window seat overlooking the leafy treetops of this charming and beautiful manor block, a walk-in closet and thoughtfully designed ensuite bathroom with custom white oak double vanity, over-sized glass-enclosed shower and Ann Sacks tile. A second full bathroom with tub is located off the hallway and separates the primary suite from the second and third bedrooms. Both rooms enjoy giant windows looking out to the stunning garden and mature neighboring trees.

The true bonus of the home is the fully finished English basement located on the garden level of the home. With its own separate entrance, the oversized great room, currently used as a family/media room with home office and exercise area, serves as an additional guest suite including an attached third, full bathroom with walk-in shower. The garden level has been completed with a micro cement floor, surround sound integrated speakers, built-in storage, and separate laundry room with Electrolux washer and dryer.

This historic home is the perfect marriage of vintage character and charm with every modern, coveted upgrade one could possibly want including premium appliances, designer lighting fixtures by Midcentury modern icons such as Isamu Noguchi, George Nelson, and Louis Poulsen, paint by Farrow & Ball, top-of-the-line Loewen premium Coastal Douglas Fir windows throughout, ducted 3-zone HVAC system, new roof with solar panels, complete garden and yard renovation and fully restored Brownstone facade and front patio.

All this on a quiet block in the heart of the landmarked Lefferts Manor known for its stately and in-tact late 19th/early 20th-century ornate homes, ideally situated just a few blocks from Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, the B/Q express trains with a 30-minute commute to midtown Manhattan, and all of the coveted local neighborhood eateries like Kingfisher, Camillo, & Sons Ham Bar, Names, and Mockingbird.

Your search is over for an immaculately renovated family home in this stunning and desirable neighborhood aptly referred to as 'Brooklyn's Best Kept Secret.' This quintessential townhome checks all the boxes and is ready to move right in!
