641 Carlton Ave Brooklyn, NY 11238

In le Comté des Rois (the County of Kings), there is a beautiful block, where you will find a landmark brick townhouse with a unique center staircase reminiscent of a Parisian home. The garden has been lovingly landscaped with cuttings from Mount Vernon Boxwood hedges planted during George Washington’s time. It is currently configured as a triplex upstairs with four bedrooms and two bathrooms and a one bedroom garden unit below. Almost every room has a gorgeous decorative fireplace. There are three stain glass windows original to the home, including a flying fish stain glass skylight. The washer/dryer is situated in the cellar, which is accessed by a hatch in the front by the stoop. It is one of the cleanest, most well laid out cellars we have ever seen and includes a commode and work sink. Get ready to fall in love with this home in the Brooklyn arrondissement.

And then, there is the neighborhood, Prospect Heights is one of those classic brownstone Brooklyn neighborhoods filled with great local shops, restaurants, public transport-and yes a world class art museum-the Brooklyn Museum.
