House: 61 Midwood Street

Designed in 1898 by renowned architect William M. Miller, this exceptionally handsome Romanesque Revival limestone and brick townhouse is a true showpiece, retaining virtually all of its original period details. Located on Historic Lefferts Manor’s most elegant tree-lined block, it offers the best of brownstone living and room to spare. The innumerable details throughout the home include seven beautiful tiled fireplaces and mantles, inlaid parquet floors, stained glass windows and skylight, pocket doors, a butler’s pantry with rare rear stairway, and so much more. Even the original dumb-waiter and ice-box are still in place.
