Three-Bedroom Flip in Prospect Lefferts Asks $1.499 Million

This two-story home on Sterling Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is a flip, overhauled from top to bottom. If you’re looking for a period-perfect Victorian, you can move along, but the re-do skillfully blends a few choice original details with a modern update.

It all looks to be in brand-new condition, with an open plan living space and lots of clean white expanses. The original staircase, window and door casings, and interior doors keep the update from feeling like a generic condo.

The living space faces the front, with the dining area to the rear and the kitchen beyond that, housed in what may be an extension. It offers plenty of cabinet space, white countertops and tiling and the de rigueur stainless-steel appliances, including a massive double-doored fridge.

Up the stairs are three bedrooms, including a large master with three windows overlooking the street, and a single full bathroom, done up in white subway tile. (There’s a half-bath elsewhere; presumably on the lower level though it could be in the basement. There’s no floor plan available here.)

The basement is finished, and there are washer/dryer hookups somewhere in the house, according to the listing, from Massada.

Bought last September for $925,000, according to PropertyShark, the house is asking $1.499 million. What do you think?
