Brooklyn (Ditmas Park), NY, 11210 | $2,199,000

Welcome home to 792 East 21st Street. Set on a quiet, tree-lined block in Ditmas Park, this 1905 Victorian is the kind of home that invites you to slow down. Calm, generous, and deeply livable, it's a place designed for gathering, everyday rituals, and life unfolding over time.

A wide front porch offers a gracious introduction, while a private driveway and expansive backyard, both rare finds in Brooklyn, add ease and flexibility to everyday life. Inside, the first floor unfolds into a series of well-proportioned rooms, including formal living and dining spaces, a comfortable family room, a full bathroom, and a beautifully reimagined kitchen that serves as the true heart of the home. The dining room, with its beautiful original pocket doors and beadboard, was the space that first drew the current owners to the house and remains one of its most memorable features.

The kitchen is defined by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling window wall, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Sunlight moves across the space throughout the day, elevating everyday moments such as morning coffee, preparing meals, or hosting friends into something quietly special. Thoughtfully designed with custom finishes and high-end appliances, including a Wolf six-burner stove, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher, this is a kitchen meant to be experienced as much as admired. The kitchen, hallway, first-floor bathroom, and backyard were comprehensively renovated in 2022.

Original architectural details and modern updates coexist effortlessly throughout the home, creating interiors that feel layered, intentional, and timeless. In fact, every room has been improved by the current owners, with the exception of the second-floor bathroom. A classic staircase leads to the second floor, where four bright bedrooms and a full bathroom are anchored by a charming landing with a stained-glass window that filters light softly through the space.

The third floor offers exceptional flexibility, with a large central room ideal for a playroom, den, or creative retreat, plus two additional rooms well-suited for bedrooms or home offices, and a full bathroom with a vintage-inspired soaking tub.

The finished basement, renovated in 2022, adds valuable versatility, featuring a dedicated workspace, laundry room with LG washer and dryer, a powder room, and generous storage. The space is also ideal for a home gym, studio, or recreation area Outside, the extra-wide backyard feels like an extension of the home itself, landscaped, green, and ready for outdoor dining, play, and long summer evenings under the trees.

Well built, thoughtfully improved, and move-in ready, this is a rare opportunity to own a substantial Victorian home close to neighborhood shops, beloved restaurants, and the Q and B express trains, offering space, light, and livability that are increasingly hard to find in Brooklyn.
