This delightful four bedroom brownstone is flooded with natural light and has period charm aplenty. The garden could do with some love and attention, but inside everything's immaculate and very fresh feeling. It'd be a lovely place to stay for a family or group of friends wanting to be in Brooklyn. You're a mere fifteen minute walk away from the delights of Prospect Park and there's also the Brooklyn Children's Museum very nearby too.
