A pretty, suburban-like home in Ditmas Park has hit the market for $2.4 million. Recently renovated by the current owner, 498 Westminster Road artfully mixes old and new, with stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, and bay windows accompanied by all new appliances and top-of-the-line fixtures. Located on a tree-lined street that feels a ways away from city life but is really around the corner from the subway, the freestanding home–with its two porches, backyard, and basement–offers the best of both worlds.
The five-bedroom home has a decently sized front yard with plantings, a garage, and a covered front porch that wraps around the bay windows of the living room. The porch is equipped with a cozy swing.
Upon entering the parlor floor, there’s an entryway with a fireplace with a stunning decorative mantel along with a staircase and stained glass windows. The living room boasts bright blue-green walls, wood-framed bay windows, and hardwood floors.
The chic kitchen features calacatta turquoise marble on the countertops and backsplash, which stand out against the stylish custom white cabinetry. High-end appliances include a six-burner Wolf range, a Sub-Xero refrigerator, and an Asko dishwasher. The light-filled, spacious dining room and separate banquette have views of the garden.
The bedrooms are found across the second and third floors. On the second level, the main suite faces streetside and has an en-suite bath and dressing room with ample closet space. On the other end, there are two additional bedrooms and a solarium, perfect for any growing houseplant collection. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and more storage can be found on the third floor.
The back deck contains two levels and plenty of space for lounging. The yard is “park-like,” according to the listing, thanks to the number of trees and flowers planted. A single-car garage offers flexible storage options, while the basement is currently used as a home office and gym.
