Description

Introducing 660 East 19th Street, a masterfully reimagined historic residence on one of Ditmas Park's most picturesque blocks. Blending timeless architectural character with contemporary luxury, this exceptional five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home offers nearly 4,000 square feet of living and entertaining space. Set on an expansive 50-by-100-foot lot, the property features a landscaped garden, private driveway, detached two-car garage, and magnificent wraparound porch-an extraordinary combination of space and privacy in Brooklyn.

A manicured lawn and mature tree frame the classic facade, while the natural slate wraparound porch, complete with vaulted cedar ceilings, restored columns, and traditional railings, creates an inviting setting for outdoor living.

Restored double entry doors open to a gracious foyer and elegant parlor, where custom Alsace white oak herringbone floors, nearly ten-foot ceilings, oversized bay windows, and refined millwork establish a sense of scale and sophistication. A restored wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, honoring the home's historic character.

The parlor level flows into a generous dining area and a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen overlooking the garden. A substantial peninsula offers counter seating, complemented by custom cabinetry with handcrafted ceramic pulls, Taj Mahal natural quartzite countertops, and Mexican Lava stone flooring by Zia Tile. Appliances include a paneled Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, beverage cooler, 36" Wolf range top with infrared griddle, and Bosch double wall oven.

Beyond the dining area, direct access to the rear deck creates an effortless connection between indoors and out. Framed by lush landscaping, the expansive garden offers ample room for dining, lounging, gardening, and play-a peaceful retreat from city life.

A custom white oak staircase ascends to the second floor, where the sun-filled primary suite features a dressing room and oversized walk-in closet. The ensuite spa-inspired bathroom is exquisitely finished with a custom teak double vanity topped in Levanto Rosso marble, brushed fossilized limestone tile, limewashed walls, brushed gold fixtures, and radiant-heated floors. An oversized soaking tub and two-person rain shower clad in AKDO Dark Amber Elyra tile complete the sanctuary. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully finished full bathroom occupy this level.

Above, dramatic cathedral ceilings and two powered skylights lend an airy quality to the top floor. A spacious recreation room offers flexibility as a lounge, office, playroom, or additional sleeping space, alongside another bedroom and a full bathroom with vaulted ceilings and a deep soaking tub.

The finished cellar provides further room to unwind or entertain, whether envisioned as a gym, media lounge, playroom, or wine-tasting space. Natural floating cork floors, a full tiled bathroom, and a dedicated laundry area with utility sink complete this level.

A private driveway leads to the detached two-car garage, appointed with a new custom Western Red Cedar door with glass panes and a SPAN electric vehicle charger. Behind the home's historic beauty is a comprehensive renovation that includes a new solar-paneled roof, updated electrical and plumbing systems, modern HVAC, upgraded insulation, smart-home technology, dimmable LED recessed lighting, and SPAN smart electrical panels.

Surrounded by Ditmas Park's grand Victorian homes, leafy streets, and lovingly tended gardens, 660 East 19th Street offers a rare sense of tranquility without sacrificing connection to the city. Neighborhood restaurants, cafés, and bars are close at hand, with access to the B, Q, F, 2, and 5 subway lines nearby.

A singular opportunity to enjoy the grace of historic Brooklyn architecture with the comfort, craftsmanship, and conveniences of a thoroughly modern home.
