Description

It's all in the details?original details that make this home so special: parquet floors, pier mirror, stained glass, oversized windows, and high ceilings. You will be charmed by this house, starting with the front porch where lazy summer days await. Inside, you will be delighted by the double parlor and the stately dining room with coffered ceilings and picture rails. No problem planning a fabulous dinner for 12. Between the kitchen and dining room, you'll find the powder room and an original china cabinet. The cozy eat-in kitchen has more original built-ins, a retro stove, and an oversized window that provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the views of your own sweet backyard shaded by a large oak tree. Outdoor entertaining will be a breeze with easy access out the back door and down a few steps to the yard. Upstairs, a skylight floods the hallway with natural light. The large master bedroom with 3-sided bay window and window seat enjoys south-facing light and can accommodate a home office or conversation area. Two additional bedrooms and a recently renovated full bath complete the second floor layout. The 805SF mostly-finished basement easily becomes that much-needed rec room, workshop, craft space, wine cellar, deep storage or whatever you need most. The basement can be accessed from both the front and back of the house and includes a laundry room and a half bath. 235 E 4th Street is perfectly located at the intersection of Kensington and Windsor Terrace?3 blocks to the Greenwood Playground, dog run, public library, and Ft. Hamilton F/G Station. This picturesque neighborhood also serves up great coffee, yoga, and cocktails.
