Description

The Most Beautiful and Coveted street in Prospect Park South and one of the Grandest residential streets in all of New York City is Albemarle Road. This broad, esplanade boulevard of stately mansions is an imposing streetscape, unlike any other you are likely to see, and it is here on this majestic street that you will find 1221 Albemarle Road. This corner beauty has generous and proportions and breathtaking original detail befitting the discerning clientele for whom it was built 100+ years ago. The entry parlor is flanked by two large living rooms, both with bays of windows that face the bucolic, tree lined street and symmetrical wood burning fireplaces. A few steps further is another spacious and light-filled living room, the large dining room, full bath and storage area. The eat-in-kitchen has a door leading to a sprawling outdoor space and two car garage. The dramatic center stair with a panel of magnificent stained glass leads to the second floor where you will find an oversized landing, off of which are four huge, bright bedrooms, one with a private terrace, and two full bathrooms. On the third floor are an additional 3+ bedrooms and one full bath. The large basement has a laundry area and affords great storage space. All of this just steps to the shopping and restaurants of Church Avenue and Cortelyou Road and the B & Q trains to Manhattan.
