Property Description
Located in the heart of the historic Lefferts Manor District, 56 Rutland Road is part of a captivating row of four-story, single-family homes. Designed by renowned architect Albert E. White in 1898, this property is a stunning example of transitional Romanesque Revival and Neo-Renaissance architecture.
The home's striking L-shaped stoop leads to an impressive front entrance, highlighted by Romanesque carvings and the original wood-and-glass double doors, which have been beautifully preserved. Inside, the parlor floor welcomes you with elegant pier mirrors, intricate moldings, and original parquet floors. This level features a formal living room at the front, a cozy lounge area with a fireplace in the middle, and a spacious library, also complete with a fireplace.
On the garden level, the kitchen offers easy access to the private backyard, accompanied by a full bathroom and a formal dining area with meticulously maintained built-in cabinetry.
The second floor is home to two generous bedrooms and a full bath. The rooms are connected by a shared walkthrough closet and vanity area. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, another full bathroom, and a secondary kitchen.
The finished cellar, with its high ceilings, contains the mechanical room and an old-fashioned bar, adding a nostalgic touch to the home's history.
Throughout the house, you will find an abundance of original details and exquisite woodwork, preserving its historic charm. As a shining example of late 19th-century architecture in the Prospect Lefferts Historic District, this residence offers incredible potential. With some vision and expertise from an architect or contractor, it is easy to see how this grand home could be revived to its full glory. A must-see property.
56 Rutland Road is situated on a picturesque tree-lined street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, just three blocks from Prospect Park. With easy access to the Q train and an array of local dining spots like Bomberino, Trove Wine Bar & Kitchen, and Silver Rice, this is Brooklyn living at its finest.
