Property Description

Finally you will have the opportunity to live in a wonderfully maintained and rare TWO-family barrel-fronted limestone in prime Prospect Lefferts Manor, on a block that has been voted the "Greenest Block in Brooklyn" for many years running. On a street known for its grand one-family residences, 230 Lincoln Road offers the versatility to enjoy the entire home for yourself OR the opportunity to live on two spacious floors while also collecting income. Don't let price be a barrier for entry into this amazing neighborhood. Supplement your mortgage with rental income and eventually take over the entire home when the time is right.

Designed by the esteemed Axel Hedman in 1907 and preserved perfectly by just three passionate owners during its lifetime, this is a living example of the neo-Renaissance style and includes such distinctive facade features as rounded bays, an ornate doorway, an impressive dog-leg stoop, and galvanized-iron cornice. A rare PLG home that offers 20' of width, and only one of five homes in the Manor that also offers three deep full floors of living space plus a full basement. Don't miss the impeccably groomed oversized south-facing back garden, plus a lush front garden offering privacy from the street.

Museum-quality period details throughout have been preserved to perfection and include hand-carved inlaid wood floors with patterned borders, mahogany wainscoting, oversized tiger oak pocket doors with ornamental brass hardware, wood and leaded-glass display cabinetry, dentil molding, hand-glazed ceramic fireplace mantles, picture moldings, and three dramatic pier mirrors. Impeccably maintained by the current owner, this home is move-in-ready today, including some beautifully skim coated walls. Add a larger kitchen should you decide to use this as a one-family home, but nothing else is required!

The garden level is home to two stately rooms, including a front room complete with the original hand-carved Tiger Oak sideboard and mirror, and bay windows looking over the garden. Even the common hallways have perfectly preserved wainscoting throughout. A galley kitchen in the garden extension is currently in place should you choose to immediately rent this floor as a one-bedroom apartment. OR transform the entire back room into a large south-facing kitchen with the perfect flow to the garden. A windowed full bathroom on this floor has been renovated with limestone floors, a brass and glass vanity, and ornamental tin ceilings. The large garden has been lovingly tended-to and offers a cobblestone patio plus perimeter planting beds with roses, hydrangeas, and a Crepe Myrtle Tree.

Head up an elegant staircase with a mahogany newel post to the parlor floor, where old-world elegance awaits in the magnificent triple parlor. A front parlor with dramatic oversized bays offers a picturesque street view, working pocket doors, soaring ceilings, and wedding cake plaster ceiling moldings. The center of this floor is home to a hand-carved sculptural staircase landing and a dramatic decorative fireplace complete with a hand-carved mantle and vintage ceramic surround. The back parlor is currently a living room but could also be a primary suite or chef's kitchen, depending on your needs. The detailed historic floor-to-ceiling display cabinets in this room are as practical as they are beautiful.

The top floor includes three bright bedrooms plus a full bath with skylight and claw-footed tub. A 4th bedroom is currently home to a kitchen, for use as a 2-family, but this can easily be removed and turned into a 2nd bath, depending on how you plan to use the home. Rich period details made their way all the way to the top floor and include mantles, oversized doors, and a stained-glass skylight over the stairwell.

This Brooklyn masterpiece is located just a few blocks to the Prospect Park Q and B trains. Enjoy Prospect Park nearby plus wonderful cafes, restaurants, shops and amenities in every direction including the Botanic Gardens and the Brooklyn Museum.
