Virtual Tour
Welcome to 85 Fenimore Street, a stately brick townhouse sitting in one of Brooklyn's most coveted and landmarked enclaves - Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Built in the early 20th century and full of the bones that renovators dream about, this is a rare opportunity to put your stamp on a true piece of Brooklyn history. Step inside and the character hits immediately: original herringbone parquet floors run through the sun-drenched living room, anchored by a classic exposed brick fireplace and framed by gorgeous mint-green crown molding that gives the space a playful nod to its era. The neighborhood's covenants from over a century ago ensured architectural quality - stained glass, ornate cornices, carved doorways - and this home delivers on all of it. Look up in the entry hall and you'll find a stunning stained glass skylight flooding natural light down through the staircase, alongside a crystal chandelier that sets the tone. The bathroom retains its original clawfoot tub, mosaic hex tile floors, and stained glass window - a spa moment hiding in plain sight. Original dark-stained wood beam ceilings, five-panel mahogany doors, lead glass windows, and a rear entrance with private driveway and garage complete the picture. The full basement with boiler and water heater provides solid mechanicals to build from. The Potential: Whether you're looking to restore this as a single-family showpiece or explore a multi-unit configuration, the layout and scale offer real flexibility. Fenimore Street sits within the Lefferts Manor Historic District, meaning you'll be investing in a block that has been architecturally protected since 1979 - your value is structurally supported. The Location: Steps from Prospect Park and the Q train, you're minutes from the park's farmers market, tennis courts, and the Boathouse. The neighborhood's food scene punches well above its weight - from natural wine bars and bistros that have been institutions for decades. Flatbush Avenue gives you coffee, groceries, and nightlife without the Park Slope price tag.
