For $1.95M, live in a Victorian house with a two-car garage without leaving city life behind

This historic three-story home at 674 East 24th Street is on a tree-shaded block in Ditmas Park, the Brooklyn neighborhood, also known as Victorian Flatbush. In addition to curb appeal, gracious proportions, and seven bedrooms, this classic late-19th-century home, asking $1.95 million, has the rare city perk of a private driveway and a two-car garage.

Past a wide, welcoming front porch, a pair of original stained-glass doors opens into a light-filled living room with parquet-tiled wood floors. Classic pocket doors reveal an adjacent formal dining room.

A capacious pantry leads to an eat-in-kitchen accented with the home’s original brick. From here, another pantry leads down the steps to a planted, shaded backyard. There is also a powder room on this floor.

Up an elegant stair of burnished oak, the second floor holds three bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom is a standout, featuring a rounded wall with windows of curved glass.

The home’s top floor offers three more bedrooms, one with a huge cedar closet. A full bath honors the home’s Victorian style with a classic claw-foot tub.

At the lowest level, a full basement offers a large laundry room and plenty of additional storage with potential as a playroom or office. The private drive and garage mean less time finding a parking space, more time for drinks and conversation on the front porch.
