22 Lefferts Pl

A rarity in today's hot real estate market, an available classic 1890's brick row house on one of the finest residential blocks in the city. This two-family, four-story house is 20 ft. wide by 35 ft. deep and sits on a 90-foot lot. The interior has much of its original detail: period plasterwork, marble mantels and fireplace surrounds, inlaid parquet floors, captain's wheel railing and spindle archway, and an oculus skylight. Currently configured as a 2 family with a 1+den floorthru on the top floor. Better would be a 1BR garden apartment with an upper triplex. Overall, the building is in good shape with cosmetic work needed as well as some updating. It's a beauty and the block is lovely! "...clearly the movers and shakers of Brooklyn society, from the 1870s until the 1920s. The society pages were full of events on Lefferts Place attended by Civil War generals and others important to the history and culture of New York City and Brooklyn, including grand balls, raffles, card parties, and meetings of charitable organizations." - Brownstoner 4/26/2012 (pdf)
