Property Description
Welcome to 1806 Ditmas Avenue, a truly exceptional Colonial Revival residence offering approximately 5,500+ square feet of living space, seven bedrooms, and four-and-a-half baths on a prominent corner lot in the heart of Ditmas Park.
Set behind a long private driveway and expansive front lawn, this three-story home is distinguished by its wraparound porch, detached two-car garage, private garden, and back deck. The garage also presents an exciting opportunity for ADU conversion, adding further flexibility and potential to an already remarkable property.
Inside, the home retains an extraordinary sense of period character, with original millwork, hardwood floors, stained-glass windows, and three working fireplaces. A welcoming vestibule with dual closets opens into a grand foyer, leading to elegant formal living and dining rooms and a refined, south-facing library.
The recently renovated, east-facing eat-in kitchen is bright and generously proportioned, with abundant cabinetry and a 48-inch Viking double oven. A powder room and direct access to the private garden and rear deck make this an ideal gathering space for both everyday life and entertaining.
Across the two upper floors are seven generously sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space. The primary suite is particularly impressive, with two exposures, a spacious walk-in closet, an additional reach-in closet, and a luxurious windowed en-suite bath featuring a deep soaking tub and separate shower. The secondary bedrooms are exceptionally well proportioned, with room for at least queen-size beds and dedicated closet space. Additional full baths include a classic third-floor bathroom with a cast-iron soaking tub.
Each level offers its own distinctive character, including a wood-burning fireplace on both the second and third floors. The top floor also features an expansive media room—a wonderfully flexible space for movie nights, recreation, or simply gathering with family and friends.
The fully finished lower level, with its own separate entrance, dramatically expands the possibilities of the home. Designed for recreation and relaxation, this level includes an oversized game room with billiards and shuffleboard, a wet bar, three-person sauna, home gym, and spa bath. A utility kitchen, laundry room, and wine cellar complete the floor, creating an ideal environment for guests, extended family, or a private recreation and wellness retreat.
Modern infrastructure includes split-system cooling, a completely new roof with solar panels, and a Wi-Fi-enabled leak detection system.
Ideally situated near the restaurants, cafés, and shops of Cortelyou Road, cultural events at Kings Theatre, and the expansive green spaces of Prospect Park, with convenient access to the B and Q express trains at Newkirk Plaza.
1806 Ditmas Avenue is a rare combination of grand scale, architectural character, outdoor space, parking, and modern amenities—offering an extraordinary opportunity to experience the best of historic Ditmas Park living.
