Be prepared to fall in love with the charm and character of this special south slope townhouse. Located on lovely Webster Place, a gem of a street which runs just one block long and is lined with quaint townhouse, number 31 welcomes you with its delightful covered front porch and unique mix of modern and classic design throughout.
Enter on the garden level into a foyer complete with built-in cabinetry and closets to conveniently drop your keys and hang your coat. The open floorplan feels expansive with a wall of glass doors which open the entire expanse and lead to the garden out back. The kitchen offers fantastic storage and workspace, featuring custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, Italian Schist counters, and a large peninsula with seating for three. There is plenty of space for dining adjacent to the living area which looks onto the patio and garden. A perfect powder room is nestled under the stairs, while a back "mud room" leads to the garden and offers more storage.
Out back is a little piece of paradise. Lovely perennials line the horizontal fence which provides a cozy and private feel. The large tree provides shade, while the open center space is the perfect area to lounge or dine. The patio, just outside the glass doors, is home to the grill, making year-round barbeques a reality.
While the garden level has a more modern feel, the upper levels of this home feature details characteristic of what we love in Brooklyn townhouses-thick crown and baseboard moldings, large arched double-doors, etc. The front parlor has oversized west-facing windows which overlook the front porch and bring in glorious afternoon light. Built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, a decorative brick fireplace, and soaring ceilings make this room the perfect spacious place to relax or entertain. On the parlor floor you'll also find a large bedroom, complete with built-in wardrobes and serene views of the back yard. The full bath is renovated with a modern, spa-like feel and boasts a walk-in shower.
On the top floor are two more spacious bedrooms, each with a generous closet, and a smaller bedroom, currently used as a home office. The full bath on this floor is also renovated and especially roomy, featuring floor-to-ceiling tile, a clawfoot tub, a pedestal sink and an enormous skylight. Throughout the house you'll find wide plank wood flooring and high ceilings. On the cellar level is the washer and dryer and even more space for storage.
Located on one of the most magical blocks in Brooklyn, two blocks from all the convenience of 7th Avenue, two blocks from the Prospect Avenue subway station, and just over three blocks from Prospect Park, the location is superb.
