From the wide front porch to the wood-beamed sunroom and beautifully preserved historic details, this tree-shaded Prospect Park South home at 155 Stratford Road invites laid-back city living. Asking $3,100,000, the home’s historic details are unfussy but lovely, its proportions are gracious, and modern updates are exactly where they need to be. A private two-car driveway adds even more everyday value.
Within are six bedrooms, sitting rooms, office spaces, and a charming top-floor art studio/craft room. Original details like parquet floors and stained glass have been meticulously preserved. A large finished basement is perfect for a rec room or home gym.
Past the front porch, enter the home’s grand center hall. A generous staircase with curved railings rises from an elegant foyer. A unique round sunroom projects light from every direction into the interior.
A pale, refined living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Details include gently-arched built-in shelving and picture molding. A formal dining room is framed by floor-to-ceiling bay windows and a coffered ceiling. A large, windowed kitchen has an oversized dining island.
Step outside the kitchen and dining room onto a deck that extends the full length of the home, ending in a wood-framed screened-in porch with the feel of a mountain cabin. Below, a private landscaped garden features brick pavers surrounded by mature trees.
Upstairs are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. A tranquil primary suite consists of two rooms joined by an arched, closet-lined pass-through space with a large en-suite bath.
On the sun-filled top floor are two more bedrooms. Also up here is a studio space with a sink, ready to become an art studio, atelier, or guest room.
On the lowest level, a finished basement offers even more modern living space, plus a laundry room with a walk-in closet. There’s room for a gym or rec room and lots of storage, as well as the home’s mechanicals.
