Itinayo noong 1898 ng developer na si William Seal, Jr. at arkitekto na si Albert E. White, ang 52 Rutland Road ay isang magandang bahay na Romanesque Revival na matatagpuan sa isa sa pinakamapayapang landmark na kalsada sa Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Ang nakakamanghang 4-palapag na bahay na may barrel-fronted na limestone ay maingat na naibalik at na-reimagine, pinagsasama ang mataas na grand-scale proportions sa isang mataas na antas ng pagbabago na nagbibigay-pugay sa kasaysayan nito.

Ang kahanga-hangang bahay na ito ay may limang silid-tulugan, limang buong banyo, dalawang kalahating banyo, at maluwang na mga espasyo ng pamumuhay na puno ng liwanag sa bawat palapag. Ang lahat ng electrical, plumbing, at iba pang mga mekanikal na sistema ay bago at moderno, kabilang ang central heating at cooling na may apat na hiwalay na zone, isa para sa bawat palapag. Sa buong bahay, matatagpuan ang mga bagong bintana ng Pella Reserve, malalawak na white oak engineered flooring, at isang ganap na integrated Sonos three-zone audio system, na nagpapahintulot sa bawat silid na maging sariling nakalaang soundscape. Mahigpit at maingat na naibalik, ang bahay na ito ay isang patunay ng napangalagaang kahusayan sa sining ng paggawa. Maraming orihinal na detalye ang matatagpuan dito, kabilang ang isang kahanga-hangang hanay ng masalimuot na woodwork: perpektong gumaganang window shutters, orihinal na pocket doors na madaling slide, at nakakamanghang built-in cabinetry. Ang restoration ay naka-anchor sa isang bagong, custom-fabricated na pinto ng mahogany at pinatibay ng mga magagandang fireplace mantels, makulay na stained glass, at eleganteng crown moldings sa buong bahay.

Ang tuktok na palapag ay may isang sun-drenched, malawak na espasyo ng pamumuhay, na bihirang matatagpuan sa mga townhouse sa Brooklyn. Isang custom-built skylight mula sa ibang bansa ang nagbigay liwanag sa espasyong ito sa maluwang na natural na ilaw at sa gabi, nagdadala ng isang kahanga-hangang tanawin sa paligid ng LED light surround, ginagawang perpekto itong playroom, gallery, o media space. Kasama sa palapag na ito ang dalawang malalaking ensuite bedrooms.
