This south facing brick & limestone bow fronted house in the middle of the block has a large welcoming front terrace for the ultimate stoop sitting; the center entry way opens into a large sunny full width of the house living room, with a sweeping stair case down the right hand side and a wood burning fire place on the left hand side. The living room has a wide opening through to the dining room with a large bay window overlooking the rear garden as well as original built in china cabinets. The kitchen is beyond the dining room and there is a rear entrance from the kitchen to another terrace for breakfast and supper in the warmer weather. Steps down from the terrace and your parking is right at your back door; move the car out for larger Parties etc. in the summer.

The neighborhood: I have enjoyed living in this neighborhood because of the wonderful neighbors, the \"Mom & Pop\" shops where you can find good quality Organic provisions, fresh baked bread, dry cleaners, tailors, pharmacists, wine shops, hardware stores etc. And all with in easy access to the rest of the City with the 2, 3, 4 & 5 trains and it is so convenient to have a car with your own safe, secure parking space at your own back door waiting no matter what time of day or night you come home; press the button the gate goes up, drive in press the button, your home.... So it makes it so easy to enjoy so much more of the City; dining from Sheepshead Bay to Astoria or Manhattan or Park Slope etc. when you know you have your parking space waiting just for you! And all this just one express stop from Barclays Arena, The Brooklyn Academy of Music. 10-15 minutes walk to Prospect Park, Lincoln Terrace Park (Tennis) Brower Park & the children\'s Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, the Botanical Gardens etc. and just 30 minutes to midtown on an express train!
