Historic Turn-of-the-Century Elegance. Luxurious Ditmas Park Grandeur. A charmed Ditmas Park lifestyle awaits in this palatial 6-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom... whole-home rental with lush outdoor areas, a private garage, and sprawling interiors suffused with abundant storage and lovely period details. Rising three stories and built at the turn of the 20th Century, this one-of-a-kind house offers a best-of-both-worlds experience - the space, privacy, and quietness of suburban life moments from exciting restaurants, cafes, and city amenities.

One of the bedrooms also has a covered balcony overlooking the backyard. Dreamy outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy year-round. A private curb-cut driveway leads to a single-car garage, while a deep front lawn with mature trees and lush plantings draws the eye to an inviting veranda. On the opposite side of the home, a rear porch off the kitchen flows down to a cute backyard with red brick and flagstone pavers and beautiful gardening plots.
