26 CHESTER Court

CLOSED --- Erected in 1915 by architect Peter Collins 26 Chester Court is a gorgeous Neo-Tudor Revival chock full of original detail and charm. Chester Court is a cul-de-sac just off Flatbush Avenue, it is a block made up entirely of these homes. This is the only block in Brooklyn that looks like this. Located in Prospect Lefferts Gardens a neighborhood that has always been known for its convenience, proximity to transportation and Prospect Park as well as some of the most picturesque blocks in Brooklyn, most of the neighborhood has been land marked and it has become one of the most desired neighborhoods in Brooklyn. While most of these homes have been stripped of their original detail and charm, 26 Chester Court has not. You might get goose bumps when exploring this wonderful piece of Brooklyn history. When you enter be greeted by a grand living room boasting high ceilings, a working wood burning fireplace, crown moldings, pocket doors, all of the built in cabinets in the formal dining room, the original staircase and banister and the drop dead gorgeous parquet floors. The original detail is not limited to the parlor floor, you will find hidden treasures throughout this home, enjoy an original claw foot tub and sink, original light fixtures, cedar closets and much more. This house is deceptive from the outside, being an attached town house you might think the rooms are small, that is not the case. The bedrooms are absolutely immense; there are four total over two upper floors. There is also a full finished basement, great for a studio, workspace, or an extra living space. Enjoy a spacious backyard as well, great for entertaining. This is the first sale in 50 years! The home does need some updating, mostly cosmetic; roof and boiler are fairly new. Overall this home is solid and is perfect for someone who wants to create their dream Brooklyn town house!
