Property Description

Located within the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District, 195 Rutland Road is a 20-foot-wide townhouse where original architecture has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully updated for modern living. Situated on a landmarked, tree-lined block, this 20’ wide residence spans 43’ on a 100’ lot and retains a remarkable collection of original details that have been thoughtfully and carefully restored. A pier mirror, decorative fireplace, stained glass pocket doors, crown moldings, and custom millwork remain intact, complemented by high ceilings and parquet flooring. The result is a home where the integrity of the original design has been respected while brought into the present. The parlor level is arranged in a classic sequence, with a front living room, center library, and dining area extending toward the rear. The kitchen is positioned to connect naturally with the dining space and opens to the private garden, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. It is equipped with a center island, Miele dishwasher, Wolf range, and Liebherr refrigerator, along with efficiently planned cabinetry, workspace, and track lighting. A powder room completes this level. Upstairs, the bedroom level is configured with four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom is quietly scaled and well-proportioned, with preserved original detailing and a graceful bay window that draws in soft natural light while overlooking treetops and surrounding brownstones. The adjoining ensuite bath includes a double vanity and a clean, functional layout. A second full bathroom is located off the hallway and features a bathtub. The garden level offers a flexible additional space with its own bathroom and private entrance, suitable for guests, recreation, or extended living. Modern updates include split-system air conditioning and a high-efficiency Navien heating system, integrated with care to maintain the home’s historic character. Located just moments from Prospect Park and its surrounding amenities—including the LeFrak Center at Lakeside, Prospect Park Zoo, Carousel, Boathouse, and open green spaces—the home is also close to neighborhood shops, cafes, and restaurants along Flatbush, Rogers and Nostrand Avenues, and a recently opened Lidl, offering a European-style market experience within easy reach. Convenient access to the 2/5/B/Q/S trains.
