Here’s a grand figure of a house, in both its size and its appointments. It’s a newly renovated detached brick townhouse at 63 Maple Street, a Neo-Georgian and Spanish Revival mix built in 1924 in what’s now the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District.

It packs nearly 4,000 square feet if you include a windowed finished basement that holds a wine cellar, a fine figure of a laundry room, a wet bar with a wine fridge, a media room and a rec room. Five hundred of those square feet are taken up by a ballroom-sized living room that sports herringbone floors, banks of arched windows, stained glass, wainscoting, crown moldings and a decorative fireplace.

More grandeur is supplied by a central staircase with a winding balustrade and a large, arched stained glass window at the landing. And the spaciousness extends to a wainscoted dining room that opens to a good sized kitchen with a walk-in pantry and an oversized breakfast nook with a lengthy bench seat.

Said kitchen is a nice one, with double exposures, subway-tiled walls, a farmhouse sink and, most strikingly, a pale blue vintage Chambers stove that looks to be in top condition, matched by a vintage style SMEG refrigerator.

The upstairs holds four bedrooms and two baths, with stained glass windows, subway-tiled walls and the original sinks and tubs. Above that is a huge finished attic space that could be put to any number of uses.

There’s a front porch, a rear patio, a driveway and a detached garage. In short, there’s a lot here, and none of it hurts the eyes.

The price tag for the house — which is listed by Justin Dupree of Corcoran, and will be shown Sunday at an open house — is $3.6 million. It sold for $1.7 million in April, so that makes this the second House of the Day this week that’s been marked up to the tune of some $2 million post-renovation.

If it sells for ask it will eclipse the $2.63 million nabbed for 68 Rutland Road in February, which is currently the biggest townhouse sale in the neighborhood.

Think it’s worth it?
