Kanpe kòm temwayaj bèl atizana yon lòt epòk, 471 East 17th Street ofri yon okazyon ra pou pran swen yon moso istwa nan kè Ditmas Park. Gwo rezidans viktoryèn sa a, ki chita sou yon teren enpresyonan ki gen 55 pye lajè, se yon vrè “dyaman brit”—yon espas laj ki chaje ak detay achitektiral orijinal, k ap tann pou yo restore yo pou yo reprann tout bèlte yo.

Ou santi karaktè kay la depi lè ou monte sou bèl galri ki kouvri a epi ou pase nan vestibül antre a. Nan tout rezidans lan, atizana epòk la toujou entak: yon bèl eskalye orijinal ak yon ranp an bwa koube, panno dekoratif konplike sou mi yo, rozèt an plat ki dekore plafon yo, ak moulir ki gen fòm dan. Etaj salon an se yon bèl egzanp echèl viktoryèn, avèk yon salon doub ki gen yon gwo fenèt an bè ak yon sal manje fòmèl ki fèt pou gwo resepsyon. Petèt espas ki pi mayifik la se chanm nan tourel la, kote gen yon ti twalèt orijinal remakab ki gen yon lavabo mab koube ki gen yon fòm espesyal.

Avèk sèt chanm ak sis twalèt (kat konplè, de demi-twalèt) sou etaj ki anlè yo, plan kay la ofri anpil fleksibilite. Dezyèm etaj la gen kat gwo chanm—twa ladan yo gen twalèt prive—tandiske twazyèm etaj la ofri twa lòt espas, ki ta pafè pou yon bibliyotèk apa, estidyo kreyatif oswa chanm pou envite.

Deyò, pwopriyete a kontinye enpresyone ak yon gwo lakou dèyè ki envite w transfòme l an yon jaden prive pou repo. Yon antre prive pou machin ak yon garaj ra ki ka pran de machin ofri yon konvenyans anpil moun swete genyen nan katye istorik sa a.

Kay la chita sou youn nan blòk ki pi chèche nan zòn nan, epi ou a kèk pa sèlman ak restoran ak boutik ki anime Cortelyou Road ak Newkirk Plaza, avèk aksè fasil nan tren B ak Q yo. Sa a se plis pase yon kay; se yon okazyon ra pou restore epi reenvante yon kay ki gen kalite moniman nan youn nan zòn Brooklyn ki gen plis istwa. Pote vizyon pa w epi kite trezò viktoryen sa a briye ankò.

Standing as a testament to the grand craftsmanship of a bygone era, 471 East 17th Street offers a rare chance to steward a piece of history in the heart of Ditmas Park. This magnificent Victorian residence, situated on an impressive 55-foot wide lot, is a true "diamond in the rough"—a sprawling canvas rich with original architectural details just waiting to be polished back to their full splendor.

The home’s character is felt the moment you step onto the gracious covered porch and through the entry foyer. Throughout the residence, the artistry of the period remains intact: a stunning original staircase with a curved wood handrail, intricate wainscoting, plaster ceiling medallions, and dentil moldings. The parlor floor is a masterclass in Victorian scale, featuring a double-parlor living room with a deep bay of windows and a formal dining room designed for grand-scale gatherings. Perhaps the most enchanting space is the turret room, which houses a remarkable original powder room complete with a distinctive curved marble vanity.

With seven bedrooms and six bathrooms (four full, two half) spread across the upper floors, the layout offers extraordinary flexibility. The second floor hosts four generous bedrooms—three with en-suite baths—while the third floor provides three additional rooms, perfect for a dedicated library, creative studios, or guest quarters.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a substantial backyard that invites reimagining as a private garden retreat. A private driveway and a rare two-car garage provide coveted convenience in this historic neighborhood.

Located on one of the most sought-after blocks in the area, you are just moments away from the vibrant dining and shopping scenes on Cortelyou Road and Newkirk Plaza, with easy access to the B and Q trains. This is more than just a house; it is a rare opportunity to restore and reinvent a landmark-quality home in one of Brooklyn’s most storied enclaves. Bring your vision and let this Victorian treasure shine again.
