1644 Glenwood Road

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a bucolic, tree lined street in the heart of historic Ditmas Park, this enchanting five-bedroom Victorian offers a rare opportunity to create your dream home while honoring timeless architectural beauty. Brimming with potential and rich in original detail, this lovely house showcases exquisite parquet floors, stained glass windows, coffered ceilings, French doors, and a wood-burning fireplace—each element contributing to its enduring charm.
The gracious parlor floor begins with an enclosed front porch wrapped in wall-to-wall windows, setting a warm and inviting tone. Inside, a generously scaled living room centers around the fireplace, that connects to the formal dining room crowned with coffered ceilings. Just beyond, a delightful sunroom overlooks the expansive backyard, offering a tranquil retreat. The windowed kitchen, complete with a butler’s pantry, provides direct access to the sprawling private yard and a garage with original farm doors.

Upstairs, the second floor features three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with substantial closet space, along with a full bath highlighted by a beautiful stained glass window. An additional sunroom on this level offers the perfect setting for a serene home office, studio, or meditation space.

The third floor adds two more bedrooms and two large attic rooms, presenting a wealth of possibilities for expansion—whether as additional bathrooms, walk-in closets, or creative living space.

The basement is bonus additional storage space that could easily be finished, and has a half bath. Recent updates include a new roof and boiler.

Ideally located just two blocks from the vibrant shops and restaurants of Newkirk Plaza, as well as the B and Q trains for a seamless commute to Manhattan, this special home combines historic character, generous proportions, and exceptional potential in one of Brooklyn’s most beloved neighborhoods.
